Dr. Eric Berg points out that gynecomastia is not just a hormonal issue, but also a reflection of liver dysfunction . When the liver is unable to metabolize estrogen properly, fat accumulates in the chest, resulting in "male breast enlargement."

The root cause of gynecomastia in men: the liver's inability to metabolize estrogen.
- A normal liver breaks down estrogen through "stage one/stage two enzymes".
- When the liver has the following problems → estrogen accumulation → breast tissue hyperplasia:
|
liver problems |
illustrate |
|
Fatty liver |
High-sugar/high-carbohydrate diets lead to fat accumulation. |
|
hepatitis |
Chronic inflammation affects enzyme function |
|
Cirrhosis |
Tissue fibrosis → decreased detoxification ability |
|
Alcohol intake |
Long-term alcohol consumption damages liver cells |
|
Drug side effects |
Antihypertensive drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, antidepressants, antibiotics, etc. |
"Pseudo-estrogens" in the environment: Endocrine disruptors ( EDS )
|
source |
question |
|
Pesticides/herbicides/insecticides |
Mimicking estrogen → disrupting hormone balance |
|
GMO foods (especially those containing glyphosate) |
Disruption of liver enzyme function |
|
Soy products (soybean oil, soy protein) |
Contains phytoestrogens → exacerbates the problem |
Recommendations: Avoid processed soybeans, choose organic ingredients, and reduce exposure to environmental toxins.
Key foods for breaking down estrogen: cruciferous vegetables + DIM
|
Food ingredients/supplements |
effect |
|
kale, cauliflower, bean sprouts, radish, cabbage |
Helps the liver metabolize estrogen |
|
DIM ( Diindolylmethane ) |
Highly concentrated vegetable extract → removes harmful estrogens and retains beneficial estrogens |
|
Features: Non-hormonal, no side effects → suitable for long-term use |
Lifestyles to improve liver function
- Healthy Keto Diet
- Intermittent fasting
- Reduce sugar/carbohydrate intake → lower insulin levels and reduce the risk of fatty liver disease
- Supplement with liver-protecting nutrients (such as milk thistle and bile salts).
In conclusion: Don't assume that "large chest in men equals obesity" anymore. Understanding liver protection is the key to truly solving the problem.
Hong Kong men often suffer from high-sugar diets, high stress levels, and environmental toxins, already overburdening their livers and causing estrogen imbalances that lead to fat accumulation in the chest area . Starting today, a dish of bean sprouts, a DIM tablet , and a period of fasting will help you build a strong foundation for your liver!
Don't be trapped by the myth that "hormones = no fun." Only by knowing how to protect your liver, detoxify, and maintain balance can you achieve true health!
