hey guys dr. Burke sure I want to answer

the question why does menopause trigger

hi androgen levels a lot of women going

into menopause or post menopause end up

having these high levels of an urgent so

I want to talk about that here the

symptoms of high androgen levels male

pattern baldness okay appeared alopecia

which is patches of hair that come out

at different places polycystic ovarian

syndrome acne facial hair and hair loss

deep voice to infertility deep voice

oily skin skin inflammation increase sex

drive okay so these are some of the

symptoms in a female body so what causes

well it’s not that menopause will

trigger high energy but really what

happens is this your insulin levels go

up that’s really what causes polycystic

ovarian syndrome the insulin levels go

up and then you start converting all

this this male hormone which is antigen

and this can come from a couple reasons

one maybe you’re eating live sugar but

maybe you’re not maybe it’s during

menopause the ovaries stop working and

then the adrenal gland backs up the

ovaries so the adrenal gland is the back

up to the ovary and what happens when

you get too sudden spike of cortisol

which is a stress hormone at menopause

because the adrenals are overacting to

try to make up the hormone loss it can

then convert into insulin okay so that’s

really the mechanism mechanism with that

so then high cortisol directly because

high cortisol coming from stress will

cause high levels of antigen okay now

also the thing here I want to talk about

decreased sex hormone-binding globulin

and what the heck does that mean this is

s HB g okay this basically is a protein

in the liver that helps offer and

regulate antigens it keeps an urgent in

check it keeps an urgent low

ok so this protein is supposed to keep

Energon low but when you have a problem

with the liver you decrease SHBG and now

Energon goes up because it can’t

regulate it anymore so that protein that

keeps it in check doesn’t do its job so

then we get a spike of androgen ok but

this is the most interesting thing

during menopause the body stops

releasing estrogen faster then it stops

really seeing and urgent ok so in the

female body you have this testosterone

and estrogen level always kind of

balance and and your ovaries make these

two hormones and so does your adrenals

so during menopause when the ovaries go

in retirement we get this huge spike a

huge drop of estrogen but the drop in

antigen is not quite great as great as

estrogen so we have this relative high

ratio of high antigen to low estrogen

ratio so it makes it so it peers that

you have more antigen so it’s not

necessarily two triggers it just

basically you end up with high because

the estrogen goes way way too far ok

let’s want to kind of explain why you

might be having these symptoms and I put

some links down below and what you need

to do you know you need to correct your

insulin your adrenals your liver those

are the most important things ok thanks
