I thought the problem with me was Air Supply and all-male davening but it’s soy.
I eat a lot of soy, or more precisely, I drink a lot of soy milk. I must switch to rice milk or oat milk.
Unfortunately, when you eat or drink a lot of soy stuff, you’re also getting substantial quantities of estrogens.
Estrogens are female hormones. If you’re a woman, you’re flooding your system with a substance it can’t handle in surplus. If you’re a man, you’re suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your "female side," physically and mentally.
I’m also switching to crocs. As the Washington Post says:
Glickman, who isn’t among the physicians who have partnered with the makers of Crocs to stock the shoes in their offices, began recommending them to patients after he began wearing them himself. "I found them myself to be so comfortable, a bell went off." Now he suggests them to people with plantar fasciitis, a painful stretching of the tissue along the bottom of the foot, and to those undergoing bunionectomies or other foot surgery. "The patient can go right into them post-operatively, bandage and all." Glickman’s sold on Crocs for the healthy-footed, too. Their stable foot bed, he says, prevents wobbling and excessive pronation — in which body weight falls on the inner edge of the sole, causing ankle, knee and low-back pain. He also says they make a good alternative to flexible bedroom slippers, which he calls a "major cause of foot problems."
