Yes in higher concentrations daily intake of soy protein can harm your hormonal patterns. For alternate sources of protein you can go for sprouts, pulses, vegetables like broccoli, carrots, onions, tomatoes, spinach, peas, beans, paneer, nuts, etc. If you want to take soy limit it to 2-3 days in a week
