Do Flax Seeds Lower Testosterone? Or Actually Raise It? (A Look at Both Men & Women and Some Misinformation)

You Eat Plants

In this episode, we'll look at if flax seeds lower testosterone, or if they could actually raise it. We'll look at some misinformation and why it exists, as well as what the studies actually seem to indicate. And we'll look at the difference between men & women, as it can seem potentially raise testosterone in males, while lowering it in females in which it is too high (PCOS).
