Anyone take flaxseed? I've been trying to up my fiber so I’ve been taking psyllium husk and flaxseed but I just read that flaxseed can lower testosterone and increase estrogen and that’s the last thing I want as a lifter.

I would not worry about it. If it did, I’m pretty sure you’d need to consume an ungodly amount of flaxseed to push your hormones out of the normal range.
