Why Men Get More Estrogen as They Age — And How PhitStick Can Help

As men get older, one surprising change often sneaks up: rising estrogen levels. Yes, estrogen—the hormone more commonly associated with women—can start to throw things off balance for men too. Combined with declining testosterone, this shift can lead to unwanted body fat, low energy, mood changes, and even male breast development (gynecomastia).

But here’s the good news: this isn’t inevitable. With the right daily habits—and one simple tool like the PhitStick—you can take control of your hormones and feel like yourself again.

Why Estrogen Rises in Men Over Time

Estrogen in men is mainly produced when testosterone is converted by an enzyme called aromatase. As we age, more testosterone gets turned into estrogen—especially if we carry excess belly fat, eat poorly, or stop moving.

Here’s what contributes to higher estrogen:

• Increased body fat, especially around the waist

• Low testosterone production

• Poor liver function (which clears excess estrogen)

• Everyday exposure to estrogen-like chemicals in plastics and processed foods

What Happens When Estrogen Gets Too High

• Belly fat becomes harder to lose

• Muscle mass drops

• Energy and libido decrease

• Mood swings and brain fog increase

• Male breast tissue can develop

• Sleep suffers

These symptoms are frustrating—but avoidable.

What to Avoid to Keep Estrogen in Check

❌ Plastic containers & bottled water — BPA and phthalates act like synthetic estrogen❌ Soy-heavy & ultra-processed foods — Many mimic estrogen in the body❌ Too much beer or alcohol — Especially beer, which is high in phytoestrogens❌ Sedentary lifestyle — Lack of movement accelerates fat gain and hormonal imbalance❌ Toxins in body products — Many soaps, shampoos, and lotions contain hormone disruptors
