How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.
Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

Program Empowers Women To Embrace Their Range

Embracing the physical changes that come with age can be a struggle for women in conventional weight-loss programs. However, a new program educates women about the physiology of aging and shares strategies to optimize diet and exercise accordingly, said an expert today at the American College of Sports Medicine's 15th-annual Health & Fitness Summit & Exposition.

"Body fat shifts as women age," said Liz Applegate, Ph.D., FACSM. "In a woman's 20s and 30s, most fat is concentrated in the hips and thighs. Once a woman turns 40, the fat deposits redistribute toward the stomach. Women start questioning why they don't look as they did when they were younger not knowing that these changes are predetermined by biology."

To help women adapt to these physiological changes, Applegate - who is director of sports nutrition at the University of California at Davis - started the Embrace Your Range program in 2010.

The program employs specialized diet and exercise plans to help women control abdominal weight gain and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The diet plan stresses increased protein intake as well as fiber derived from fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains rather than supplements. The exercise plan uses appropriate cardiovascular and strength-training techniques for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women.

"Most diet-and-exercise plans focus solely on weight loss, but they don't account for the changes that accompany age," said Applegate. "Embrace Your Range helps women accept their body's natural shape changes and use diet and exercise to optimize health and reduce chronic disease risk."

Embrace Your Range participants report improved body image, greater energy levels and improved body shape.

Dr. Liz Applegate, a nationally renowned expert on nutrition and fitness, is a faculty member in the nutrition department and the director of sports nutrition at the University of California at Davis. She is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. She is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine. Dr. Applegate writes the popular "Fridge Wisdom" nutrition column for Runner's World magazine.
