Why Soy is SOy Good - Soy as super food, the truth on soy and breast cancer, and the scoop on soy as a phytoestrogen and your hormones - with Dr. Travis Cox

April 05, 2022 • Dr. Travis Cox

In Episode #12 I review the real scoop on soy. Anytime anyone brings up the “S” word (ie Soy) there is the notoriously bad reputation that comes along with it like, “soy has phytoestrogens that causes feminization in men and breast cancer in women”. But this could not be further from the truth! That’s why I decided to dedicate an entirely separate episode in order to take a deeper dive into soy and reveal the real scoop on this superfood. In this episode I also discuss;

- Soy as a superfood and its nutrient content.

- Isoflavones of soy and what they really do.

- Soy health benefits on cholesterol and cardiovascular health.

- Soy and its role in muscle gains.

- Soy, phytoestrogens and the research on feminization in men.

- Best sources of soy in whole-food plant-based diet.

- Tofu, tempeh, miso, natto, soy crumbles and more!
