Gynecomastia - Man Boobs

This morning I saw a story about Dan Clark, "Nitro" from American Gladiator fame, who claims that using Steroids caused him to develop man boobs. Dan, a former defensive lineman for the LA Rams and later starred on the hit show American Gladiator, used Steroids for 20 years. The drug use caused him to start growing man boobs, or Breast-Chesticles, as they are sometimes called.

The scientific name is Gynecomastia, and it not only affects steroid users. Gynecomastia is just one of the symptoms of "andropause", or "male menopause." When you age your testosterone levels decline...and more than that the testosterone gets "weaker" due to an imbalance between it and estrogen.

When you combine that with our modernized "estrogen-rich" environment that Dr. Holly Lucille frequently lectures on, you have a problem.

Man boobs, or gynecomastia, is associated with a lack of sex drive and excess belly fat due to the estrogen. Even more serious, excess estrogen has been positively linked to prostate cancer.
