so today I want to talk about what is

menopause really well it’s simply a

situation where you’re running out of

eggs

a woman has about 400 eggs and every

month the egg gets released right around

age 51 maybe a little bit earlier a

little bit later you ran out of that

last egg you’re done no more

menstruation

no more pregnancy it’s time to party

right well then comes the hot flashes

the vaginal dryness the vaginal atrophy

mood changes weight gain loss of libido

bone loss and atrophy so just when you

thought things are gonna be great you

got all these things to deal with so

what actually is happening is you’re

getting a shift in hormones and there’s

three hormones that are involved you

have estrogen testosterone and

progesterone and these are not accurate

but I’m just gonna show you the pattern

typically before menopause versus after

you’re gonna have a drop of estrogen

about 50 maybe 40 to 50 percent

testosterone is gonna drop about 50

percent but check this out progesterone

is gonna drop between 70 and 90 percent

so progesterone is the one that really

crashes and burns progesterone counters

and buffers estrogen they work together

so forgetting this massive drop in

progesterone versus estrogen we have

this ratio that’s out of balance it’s

going to make estrogen

appear dominant in the body and this is

why you have some of the symptoms right

here because it’s estrogen dominance

when in reality it is lower but this is

the one that actually makes it appear to

be high in the body and creates a lot of

problems now the other thing you have to

realize is that you have a backup

mechanism okay a plan B and that’s the

adrenals the adrenals actually make

these three hormones too and they’re

supposed to act as a backup to the

ovaries and give you the right amount of

these hormones of course you don’t need

the same amount of hormones as before

menopause because you’re not gonna have

baby but

here’s the issue if these adrenals are

weak going into menopause and they’re

not able to back up the ovaries

appropriately you’re going to start

seeing problems with these hormones

because you’re going to be deficient and

you can start experiencing these

symptoms right here happens all the time

in fact 70 percent of women after

menopause develop hot flashes so in

reality all these symptoms are not

normal but if the adrenals are weak

that’s when you really have the big

problems so what you really need to do

is support the adrenals before menopause

and try to keep your stress as low as

possible that’s gonna probably help you

more than anything

estrogen not only comes from the ovary

and from the adrenals it comes from your

own fat so depending on how much weight

you’re gonna have you’re gonna have

certain levels of estrogen so this could

literally just go down slightly

maybe down maybe I know 30% maybe even

20% making this difference here this

ratio even worse so the real situation

is this the adrenals are just not

backing up these ovaries right here so

number one support the adrenals before

menopause but some of you watching are

actually after menopause so what do you

do in that situation well you do not go

on a low-fat diet do not lower your

dietary cholesterol why because all of

these hormones are made out of

cholesterol that’s the precursor so if

you actually go on a low-fat diet low

cholesterol diet you are going to

negatively influence these hormones

alright number three counter high

cortisol because the adrenals are acting

to support the ovaries you’re gonna get

a spike in cortisol okay that’s spike in

cortisol it’s very damaging for in

several ways one is it destroys your

bone that’s why women after menopause

sometimes develop osteopenia and even

osteoporosis and they get atrophy it

looks like cellulite but it’s really a

loss of muscle which you’re getting this

atrophy or loose muscle tissue and look

like it’s all fat but it’s not it’s just

basically a loss of muscle tissue and

it’s kind of sagging in the body that is

thanks to cortisol cortisol also affects

the sleep cycle and it also releases

stored sugar so it raises insulin it

turns your own body proteins especially

the thigh and the leg muscles and your

butt muscles into glucose which then

triggers insulin this is why after

menopause it’s very difficult because of

the darn cortisol that’s raising the

insulin so I put some links down below

on all sorts of things you can do to

support the adrenals but you definitely

need to get on healthy keto and in a

minute fasting to keep the insulin in

check that’s your best bet for helping

you lose weight and also helping you

correct a very slow metabolism number

form it would make sense to do something

to beef up no pun intended your

progesterone

wild yam cream is a really good remedy

there’s others but I recommend the wild

yam cream for that and that way this

will push this up and help you reduce

some of these right here now because

your estrogen is a little bit higher and

that could be damaging because it’s not

being opposed by the progesterone

effectively I would recommend consuming

more cruciferous vegetables just to keep

that estrogen in check cruciferous

vegetables seek help in something called

dim which is basically concentrated

cruciferous all can help to balance

these three estrogens and give you more

of a good estrogen and less of the bad

so it’s more protective against things

like breast cancer things like that and

lastly vitamin E a lot of the vitamin E

is stored in the pituitary gland that

actually controls the adrenal and

controls the ovary and so vitamin E

drops significantly after menopause so

if you actually take enough vitamin E in

the correct type which I’m going to tell

you in a second you can support the

adrenals and the ovaries

and minimize a lot of these symptoms

right here the type of vitamin E that I

would recommend is not a synthetic

version I would get the natural to call

mix with something called tocotrienols

okay tocotrienols you can look it up and

get them in a whole food blend and that

can really support your pituitary and

really help you reduce these symptoms

right here all right check out the other

videos I have on the screen to give you

even more things you can do for

menopause thanks for watching
