hi guys in this video we’re going to

talk about estrogen your mood and

menopause and a lot of other things

connected to the menstrual cycle okay

now here’s the problem a lot of the

symptoms for high estrogen or estrogen

dominance are very similar to low

estrogen so when you do research in the

area of estrogen you’re gonna find a

tremendous amount of unknowns

complexities and confusions so as we go

through this I’m gonna point out the

things that we definitely know for sure

and then I’ll show you what I’m going to

recommend so when people talk about

estrogen there’s not just one estrogen

there’s actually three different types

of estrogen and they all have slightly

different purposes you have estradiol

estriol and s Jerome okay when you’re

pregnant you’re primarily using estriol

which is anti-inflammatory as

anti-cancer and it has a lot of other

properties but when you’re in menopause

you’re primarily using s drone okay and

this is the one that increases your risk

for certain types of cancer but

typically when you’re not pregnant and

when you’re menopause the primary

estrogen would be estradiol but you also

are producing these as well so realize

that your adrenal glands also make the

three estrogens as well and when you go

through menopause they do help to supply

the lack of estrogens that the ovaries

make and so if you’re going into

menopause and the adrenal glands are

weak then you could start seeing all

sorts of symptoms because the adrenals

cannot back up these ovaries so

therefore you’re going to end up with

low levels of certain hormones and high

levels of other hormones and this can

create night sweats hot flashes bone

loss and a whole series of other events

we do know in certain studies that when

you’re depressed you do have a lower

amount of estrogen but this can occur at

the first part of menstruation it can

also occur at other points during the

cycle of hormones in a given month and

what can also occur during menopause so

there’s certain times where estrogen

goes down and then also to make things

more complex you can have progesterone

being dropping out too far

giving this relative higher level of

estrogen even though estrogen goes down

the ratios are going to be off making

the pier that estrogen is too high when

it’s too low and you can also get

depression and anxiety

if the estrogen is too high there’s a

certain structure in your brain called

the amygdala and the amygdala is the

part of the brain that has the most

estrogen receptors and that little gland

is responsible for all sorts of things

related to stress it can affect your

mood and put you in a state of anxiety

and worry and doom and gloom

so estrogen has a huge effect over your

mood and your cognitive state so when

someone takes birth control pills which

is mainly synthetic estradiol

it’s basically convincing the

hypothalamus kind of like the master

gland in your brain that you’re pregnant

and you don’t need to are you late okay

so with that comes a lot of other

complications increased risk for blood

clots stroke headaches and the list goes

on and on if you compile that by

consuming a lot of foods that are not

organic and smoking and going through

stress you can really set yourself up

for a lot of problems not to mention

golf stones and gallbladder disease now

if you’re female the most important

thing that you can do to help balance

estrogen would be to avoid commercial

foods that contain hormones and I’m

talking about dairy that’s at the top of

the list

like like milk commercial milk not good

because the amount of hormones in that

milk is pretty high now the next worst

thing would be commercial meats so you

want to make sure that your meats in

your dairy and even your vegetables are

mainly organic okay and also consume a

good amount of cruciferous vegetables to

clean these endocrine disruptors or

estrogen mimickers and other hormones

out of the liver and out of the body now

your liver make certain enzymes to help

you balance estrogen so if there’s too

much your liver will detoxify that

excess the same thing with your gut the

gut has a very important purpose in

making sure that there’s not too much

estrogen in the body

so if you have a fatty liver okay if you

have liver damage if you have a problem

with your digestive system where you

don’t have enough good bacteria and too

much of the unfriendly bacteria this is

where you can have a problem with an

overload of estrogen in the system and

that can link to a whole bunch of other

problems including suppression of the

thyroid gland so high levels of estrogen

can inhibit the thyroid function and

then when the thyroid is low as in

hypothyroidism that can also affect your

livers ability to get rid of estrogen

your metabolism alright so that being

said there’s a couple things that you

need to focus on number one go organic

as much as possible of course do keto

and intermittent fasting because that

way you can reduce the sugar effect and

the insulin effect and just make sure

it’s high quality and make sure you do

organic lots of cruciferous vegetables

now avoid dairy if you have problems

with your menstrual cycle or you have

too much estrogen however for most

people if they do grass-fed dairy it’s

going to be okay but I would definitely

not recommend the milk or yogurt now out

of all the nutrients iodine is very very

important in regulating estrogen it

helps to balance estrogen by lowering

the bad and increasing the good you can

get that in seek help or seafood okay

the other mineral that’s very important

in menopause is boron boron is really

essential to help balance estrogen and

it’s really good for women that are

going through menopause and I would

recommend it if you experiencing

irritability or depression take some

boron and I think you’ll actually feel a

lot better because that’s kind of like

the missing element so the combination

of iodine and boron is very very

important and then again the cruciferous

the kale the broccoli the Brussels

sprouts there is a product that I use

called estrogen balance that you might

want to look at it has something called

dim which is a concentrated cruciferous

so one pill is equivalent to two pounds

of cruciferous so in this product that

put a lot of factors to help balance

estrogen whether it’s too high or too

low so I hope this video wasn’t too

confusing because there’s so many

complexities when you deal with the

endocrine system

especially with estrogen and so many

unknowns but I do know going organic is

going to be very very essential to

protecting yourself in the future

against the harmful effects of estrogen

thanks for watching hey you know what I

just want to say thank you for watching

these videos you made it this far I

appreciate your attention and your

precious time
