hey guys Dr. Berg here I want to talk about  estrogen the good the bad and the ugly okay so a  

couple things you need to know number one estrogen  is not really one hormone it’s a complex of about  

three hormones and those work together in certain  ratios when the ratio becomes altered especially  

when you turn 50 you get too much of the sixteen  hydroxy and not enough of the two hydroxy and I’m  

not going to get into the long names but just  realize that the ratio becomes altered where  

you have too much of the bad estrogen but it’s not  necessarily bad it’s just because you need some of  

it but you just don’t need too much of it but the  point is when that ratio becomes altered it sets  

you up for being getting cancer from the breast  and the uterus so this type of estrogen right here  

increases your risk this one protects you against  cancer so what I want to talk about is two things  

primarily I’m going to talk about cruciferous  and I’m going to talk about a concentrated chemo  

a natural chemical in cruciferous called DIM okay  I’m not going to get to the name but it’s just a  

it’s a fact a concentrated phytochemical that’s  very supportive and getting these ratios back  

to normal it’s not necessarily going to take all  your estrogen down to zero it’s going to get rid  

of the bad and raise the good okay that’s what  that dim does so dim is a concentrate and you  

can get it as a pill or just consume cruciferous  itself to get that that protective mechanism so  

thank goodness there are natural things that we  can get from the food to be able to balance our  

estrogen because right now we are bathed in a sea  of estrogen GMO foods you mean like 95 percent of  

your food that you’re eating is like you don’t  even know if you’re getting GM in the grocery  

store it’s like GMO because the animals eat the  grains that’s why you gotta do grass-fed which  

are GMO or you just buy like in the dressings that  has soy and most corn corns and almost everything  

so you’re getting bombarded with this estrogen  so in men it turns into prostate problems which  

I’m going to get to in another video but for  women with normally supposed to happen is that  

your liver is supposed to get rid of the excess  bad estrogen but if the liver is fatty if it’s  

guard and you have cirrhosis or it you have  hepatitis and you have like some type of virus  

that’s creating inflammation that can decrease  the ability to get rid of these estrogens because  

normally the estrogen is detoxified from the  liver and the gallbladder but if that function  

is not there because maybe you have digestive  issues or a bad liver then you sets you up for  

getting cancer especially if you’re consuming  too much environmental estrogen so so I like  

to look at number one if there’s a liver problem  focus on that if not or or even both we start to  

put the person on more cruciferous on a regular  basis Brussels sprouts awesome cook you can even  

steam them cook them and you’ll still get a lot  of benefits brought broccoli is amazing arugula  

awesome so those are really good cruciferous  to give you the dim to be able to balance these  

ratios right here another thing is seek help  that’s good too because it has the iodine to  

actually help you lower the bad estrogen so that  can clean it up it’s really good for cysts and  

fibrocystic breast but what happens estrogen is  an anabolic hormone that means it makes things  

get bigger it creates tumors it creates cancer  okay in summary if you’re over 50 you want to  

actively and aggressively start to help balance  a situation out by adding more cruciferous add  

some sea kelp or take some dim as a supplement  I’ll see you next video hey guys thank you so
