Turmeric has been used for centuries in ancient Indian Ayurvedic practice, and in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to help cure countless different ailments, the likes of cancer, skin conditions, stomach problems, liver disease, pain, heart disease, inflammatory disease… the list goes on.
In the modern day, turmeric is the most scientifically studied herb. All of the thousands of studies on turmeric are confirming what these ancient medicinal practices knew all along about turmeric’s ability to heal the human body.
Just like cancer, heart disease and diabetes, having man boobs is a disease state that can be reversed with turmeric.
Turmeric helps you get rid of man boobs via multiple different mechanisms. Here are just a few of them.
1. Blocks excess estrogen
High levels of the female hormone estrogen is one of the most common causes of man boobs, so blocking estrogen is a powerful method for losing man boobs.
Turmeric directly blocks estrogen receptors on a cellular level, to the extent that studies show it helps protect against multiple estrogen dependent cancers.
2. Reduces body fat
The more fat you have, the more estrogen in your body, and the more difficult it is to lose your man boobs.
Fat cells, called adipocytes, contain the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Not only that, but adipocytes STORE excess estrogen in your body.
So losing excess body fat will play a big role in helping to get rid of your man boobs.
Turmeric increases thermogenesis in your body, which makes you burn more fat throughout the day.
Turmeric also prevents fat cell differentiation, causes fat cell apoptosis (cell destruction), and further reduces the formation of fat cells by preventing angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels needed to support new fatty tissues in your body).
Countless studies have confirmed that turmeric helps with body fat reduction. In one study, one group of mice was fed a high calorie diet (HC), and another group of mice was fed a high calorie diet PLUS turmeric (HC+T). After 12 weeks, the HC group had almost twice the amount of body fat as the HC+T group. Turmeric managed to prevent weight gain on a high calorie diet without changing the subject’s appetite.
3. Reduces inflammation
Chronic inflammation suppresses testosterone, and you need high levels of testosterone to lose your man boobs.
Turmeric helps boost testosterone by reducing inflammation in your body. Studies show that turmeric can be just as powerful as medical anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, but without the same nasty side-effects.
4. Improves insulin sensitivity
The more insulin sensitive you are, the higher your testosterone levels, the easier it is for your body to burn fat, and the easier it is to get rid of man boobs.
With poor insulin sensitivity, your body becomes insulin resistant. Insulin resistance has been associated with reduced testosterone production in men. Improving insulin sensitivity with turmeric means less insulin resistance, which means more testosterone.
There’s also a direct relationship between insulin sensitivity and body fat levels. The more insulin sensitive you are, the easier it is for your body to burn fat.
5. Improves liver function
The liver removes estrogen from your body. The better your liver function, the lower your estrogen levels, and the easier it is to lose man boobs.
Did you know that liver disease is a common cause of man boobs?
This is because your liver is responsible for deactivating more than 50% of your body’s estrogen, by a process called conjugation.
Studies show that turmeric helps boost liver function in people with liver disease.
But even if you don't have liver disease, you may still have a sluggish liver that isn’t doing its job properly. If you do, then turmeric will give your liver a boost.
Improving liver function with turmeric will help to increase the rate of deactivation of estrogens in your body.

Those are just 5 out of dozens of known mechanisms turmeric uses to help get rid of man boobs.
Turmeric is so good for your general health and longevity, that even if it didn’t help you to lose man boobs, I’d still take this wonder supplement to help me with every other aspect of my health.
Studies have found that turmeric influences more than 700 genes in your body.
A 2009 study in the Journal of the American Chemical Society found that curcumin, the active component of turmeric, inserts itself deep into your cells’ membranes, and plays a big role in controlling what goes in and out of the cell.
What this means is that turmeric actually changes the very construction of your body on a cellular level!
You know how in those sci-fi movies, there’s some old guy dying of cancer, and then some advanced race comes along and cures him by injecting him with nanites? These futuristic nanites are microscopic robots that destroy cancerous tissue, repair damaged cells, and re-enforce existing cells, so the guy becomes impervious to disease and becomes stronger, fitter and healthier than ever.
Well you may be surprised to learn that turmeric isn’t far off from those futuristic, near-miraculous nanites…
Turmeric is known to be a powerful anti-oxidant (5-8 times stronger than vitamin E, and stronger than vitamin C), and is known for its antibacterial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antiviral and antifungal properties.
There seems to be no system in your body left untouched by this powerful, seemingly all-encompassing natural remedy. It delays aging, helps improve digestion, improves joint function, strengthens your immune system, promotes healthy blood and liver function, helps control cholesterol levels, and even strengthens your bones.
It’s no wonder then that turmeric is revered in India as “holy powder,” and is almost worshipped in its extensive use in ceremonies, weddings and religious festivals.
If turmeric on its own doesn’t directly shrink your man boobs, the least it will do is energize you and prime your body to handle more rigorous exercise.
It will sharpen your mind, improve your memory, and help you cope better with life’s stresses, so you can get a better handle on your diet.
It will help maximize the benefit of the good food you eat, and dampen the damage done by any bad food in your diet.
By blocking estrogen, improving liver function, decreasing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity, turmeric will also enhance all your other efforts at losing man boobs.
Just popping a couple of capsules of all-natural turmeric will make your exercise, other dietary changes, and lifestyle changes more effective at flattening out your chest and shrinking those puffy nipples.
But hey, just READING about it won’t get you anywhere.
The only way to truly know how well turmeric will work for you, is to get your hands on a great turmeric supplement [LINK], and give it a go for at least one month.
I’ve tried a number of different turmeric supplements, and so far the best one that’s worked for me and my clients is Hewis & Selby’s turmeric, which you can check out here:
