you know it’s very strange to me that

someone going through menopause

would have to suffer with

pot flashes night sweats vaginal dryness

decreased libido anxiety depression I

mean that’s just weird and we’re told

that these symptoms are normal it’s part

of life we just have to cope with it and

accept it because your sex hormones

naturally decrease with age

by a factor of at least 50 percent

because you’re no longer having

functional ovaries anymore right so the

question is is this true and the answer

is no it’s absolutely false information

when you go through menopause you have

two backup organs they’re called the

adrenals and the adrenals make all of

the hormones that the ovaries make okay

all these sex hormones

estrogen progesterone testosterone

and they make a lot of other hormones

too like cortisol aldosterone

DHEA things like that so the way it’s

supposed to work is during menopause

you have a decreased ovarian function

and the adrenals are supposed to back it

up and start making these hormones and

no it’s not normal to have any symptoms

when you’re going through menopause so

what is the problem okay well take a

look at this chart right here we have a

chart of the metabolic pathways through

the adrenals the different layers of the

adrenal and the different hormones that

are created by your adrenals you have

mineral corticoids glucocorticoids

Androgen estrogen all of these hormones

stem from this one thing this one raw

material check it out right here

cholesterol that’s right the very thing

that people are telling you to avoid

because it causes heart disease right so

at the expense of lowering cholesterol

through the diet a diet recommendation

or medication

boy are your adrenals gonna suffer

because that cholesterol is a required

material to not only make all of your

sex hormones

and all of the adrenal hormones that are

on the outside called the cortex and

also cholesterol is the absolute

required material to make vitamin D

and you know how important that is also

to make bile salts to help you digest

fat to make sure you have enough vitamin

A d e k and also to supply your brain do

you realize that 25 of your brain is

cholesterol in fact certain cells in the

brain these are support cells they’re

not neurons they’re called glial cells

make cholesterol so 75 of all the

cholesterol in your body right now is

made by your own cells not just by the

brain cells but other cells as well only

25 percent comes from the diet and you

might be saying well I do eat a lot of

fat in my diet I have my olive oil I

have my soy oil my canola oil I have my

avocado oil I’m consuming my coconut oil

really well guess what there is no

cholesterol in plants or plant oils or

seed oils cholesterol only comes from

animal products and I want to emphasize

that a 80 percent of the cholesterol

that feeds the adrenals is in the form

of LDL that so-called bad cholesterol

that we have to avoid so by cutting out

cholesterol from the diet or using

medication that lowers the cholesterol

there is all these Cascade problems all

this collateral damage that can occur

including the big ones of menopausal

symptoms depression anxiety loss of

memory I mean if you think about even

one of the side effects of statins which

is a medication to block your production

of cholesterol one of the symptoms is

called transient global amnesia okay you

have certain times where you just lose

your memory when you’re on statins you

actually increase the risk of cancer

people with higher cholesterol have

lower incidence of cancer so apparently

there’s this cholesterol immune system

relationship now that could be because

the vitamin D or other factors and we

all know the common symptoms from being

on a Statin is muscle pain and muscle

problems because of what it does to

something called coenzyme Q10 okay

that molecule is blocked when you take

statins and That’s essential for

allowing your mitochondria to use fat as

fuel so it’s intimately involved in the

production of energy especially in your

muscles and so if you starve off the

muscle from getting energy you get all

sorts of problems and this is one of the

biggest side effects and reasons why

people stop taking statins as the side

effect of lowering cholesterol and so if

we take a broad look at all the symptoms

that women go through during menopause

they all relate to a deficiency of sex

hormones and what many women don’t

realize is the vital importance of just

supporting this cholesterol to feed

these hormones to make sure they have

the raw material and what you’re going

to find out if you make just a slight

change in your diet is the very dramatic

and sudden disappearance of these

menopausal symptoms just by increasing

more more cholesterol in the diet and

now you know why because all of these

hormones are built from cholesterol so

start adding more cholesterol to the

diet and the number one food that can

actually help you is high quality

grass-fed butter that’s right start

putting it in your coffee start putting

it in your food don’t be afraid to

consume real butter and again realize

that you can’t get your cholesterol from

plants so all these other oils okay

which are fine like olive oil is fine

some of these other oils like avocado is

fine but it’s not going to help you

build up your adrenal hormones and by

the way the more stress that your body

goes through especially during Menopause

the more cholesterol you need especially

more LDL now the key to this to make

sure that this LDL doesn’t end up being

the wrong type of LDL because there’s

two different kinds is this as you

increase your dietary fat you also at

the same time time want to reduce your

carbohydrates because you never want to

consume a high sugar high carb diet with

a high fat diet as long as you keep your

carbs low as in the ketogenic diet you

can consume higher amounts of this fat

so butter is number one you might want

to add some fatty cheese like brie

cheese I would recommend grass-fed don’t

be afraid to add cream like I get my raw

cream every week from a local Farm egg

yolks another important source of

cholesterol so Seafood Oregon meats are

all awesome to help support your

adrenals and do not do lean proteins

okay don’t do low fat anything because

more lean the protein is like even

protein powders you’re going to

stimulate more insulin the fat helps

buffer the protein on the insulin index

because if you keep the insulin down

you’re going to be protected now during

this process it may be helpful to add

vitamin D as well as purified bile salts

to help you digest this fat I’m not

saying go crazy with unlimited amounts

of fat I’m just saying that if you are

on a low-fat diet I’m talking about low

animal fats you need to start increasing

it and if you have a hard time digesting

it chances are you probably don’t have

enough bile salts add those to the mix

so you can digest it and you might just

be very pleasantly surprised that your

menopausal symptoms magically disappear

now if you have not seen my video

um the difference between the two

different ldls this is a very important

video to watch and I put that video up

right here check it out
