1. Soy

Soy is almost always universally bad as a food to consume in any considerable quantity for anyone except post-menopausal looking to increase estrogen levels. 

2. Herbs

Certain herbs like licorice can help boost energy but may have a detrimental effect on testosterone levels when taken at higher dosages for extended periods of time.

3. Alchohol

If ever there was a pretend health food that the media has tried to get us to believe is “good for our heart health” it is alcohol, yet nothing could be further from the truth and it will lower your testosterone levels with time.
