hey guys in this video I want to talk

about the anatomy of a hot flash okay

what actually is it with the common

remedy in medicine is estrogen like

hormone replacement therapy or just

estrogen I’m going to tell you why that

works but it comes with a package and

I’m not recommending it okay but again

anything that I recommend just check

with your doctor that’s my disclaimer

okay

you have this this endocrine pathway in

the body starts from the hypothalamus

it’s a little tiny little gland up in

the brain with a bunch of little cells

that have pre-programmed messages that

run different functions and then this is

like the master gland it’s like the

owner of the football team

then you have the pituitary okay that’s

like the coach of the football team so

we have the owner that says sends the

message down and the pituitary then

sends down messages to the different

glands so it kind of splits off so you

like maybe have the CEO and the office

manager okay so they both in

coordination so the message is up here

and this little tiny little tiny speck

of a a nerve bundle up here has messages

that are in a timing system okay every

month okay release the egg release the

egg from the ovaries down here and we

have this whole communication that’s the

messages are sent down it gets received

and then once it gets received it sends

back the message telling it I got your

message you can turn it off okay so that

way we have this on/off feedback loop

okay that’s why even if you talk to

someone and they’re ignoring you you

might continue to talk or increase your

volume because the acknowledgment is the

turn off switch

it’s like okay I heard you thank you you

can stop talking now okay so we have

this whole thing going and then at age

52 maybe a little bit for a little after

you run out of eggs okay you have 400

eggs you’re done you’re in retirement

the ovaries are retirement and so they

turn off okay so what happens so now the

message should normally just shut this

off and everything should be fine

because there’s a backup organ the

adrenal glands which are on top of the

kidney produce the same

the ovaries they’re the backup to the

ovaries and typically what happens

during menopause you don’t need the full

set of ovarian hormones you need some

but you don’t need a large amount

because you’re not going to have babies

anymore

well maybe you might but maybe you might

not but the point is that if these Drina

glands do not back up the ovaries with

the hormones if they don’t supply enough

let’s say they’re weak adrenal fatigue

and you go into menopause you get the

failure to the backup and you kind of

sort sorts short-circuits this whole

pathway so now we don’t get this

feedback loop so now the hypothalamus is

sending down excessive signals down to

the down to the adrenals try to kick

them in gear and that over stimulates

the inside adrenal which creates a

little spike in adrenaline so your heart

rate starts going up here you start

sweating so you have all these these

flashes of heat that go down so that’s

really what causes hot flash is a

failure for the adrenals to back up the

ovaries okay and so what can you do well

you want to support the adrenals I put a

link with some ideas down below if you

want to check it out and read up on it

but in this video I just wanted to show

the anatomy of what a hot flash really

is it’s really simply an adrenal

weakness that’s it all right

thanks for watching
