hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re going to talk about why estrogen

dominance after menopause this is one of

those burning questions that people have

I mean think about it the ovaries go

into retirement they stop working after

age 52 so that would mean that your

estrogen should go down right why do a

lot of women have estrogen dominance and

are at risk for cancer and have all

sorts of issues after menopause let’s

let’s show you why first let’s cover the

symptoms of estrogen dominance anxiety

irritability agitation breast tenderness

weepy depression craving for chocolate

joint pain acne cystic acne weight in

the hips the thighs and the lower punch

in the stomach low libido fibroids

cancer endometriosis it takes estrogen

to make cancer grow in the breast and

the uterus okay now let’s talk about

some facts related to estrogen to put

this together estrogen does drop after

menopause okay so that’s that’s really

what happens but progesterone drops even

more giving the relative ratio of higher

amounts of estrogen to progesterone

progesterone is a hormone that opposes

estrogen it counters it so if you drop

progesterone too far down with no

unopposed estrogen it can appear to be

higher and more damaging okay now

adrenal glands are the backup to the

ovaries so during menopause the adrenal

glands will make the same hormones that

the ovaries do kind of in a little fact

and the adrenal glands on top of the

kidney progesterone feeds cortisol

progesterone converts into cortisol if

the body needs more cortisol that’s the

stress hormone from the adrenal it will

get some of the cortisone from

progesterone so here we have this

situation where we have the Drina ’ls

are weak okay low cortisol

your body is going to rob that little

bit of progesterone that you have what

do you think’s going to happen

estrogen then it’s already high it’s

going to appear to be higher because

it’s going to be unopposed by the

progesterone so we’re going to take that

last little drop of a gesture and we had

and drop it even more to convert it to

cortisol so really it’s the adrenals the

weak adrenals behind this whole problem

okay and it’s forcing other parts of the

body to be depleted because the adrenal

considers the stress countering stress

the adrenals like the most important

thing so it will rob from this and take

from this just to keep the adrenals

strong okay so basically increased need

for cortisol depletes progesterone okay

so you got that so far now let me show

you some additional facts okay so what

do we know we know that progesterone

converts the cortisol if there’s a low

adrenal and there’s you need more

cortisol the body will make more from

sucking more progesterone thereby

increasing the relative ratio of high

estrogen okay don’t worry gets worse

okay so more facts your own fat makes

estrogen so the more fat you have the

more estrogen going to have because that

makes estrogen and it takes it robs it

from the hips and it doesn’t Rob the fat

it just it basically generates it from

the fat okay

and also estrogen makes fat so it’s kind

of like a never-ending nightmare now we

used to use something called estrogen

replacement therapy and they don’t use

anymore because they found it causes

cancer and they switch it to hormone

replacement therapy which they add a

little bit of progesterone so this was

just Astra dial and then the added

progesterone and then an estrogen

together and then they found that that

as some side effects with cancer and so

they added Provera which is a synthetic

progesterone okay so then some women

take that and then they started to use

prim Pro which is estrogen and synthetic

progesterone together but the problem

this is all synthetic and that’s what a

lot of women do for half-life

vaginal dryness night sweats but they

have to realize that there’s some other

natural things that you can do and I’m

going to put a link down below if you

have low estrogen because that’s a whole

thing that we want to talk about later

we’re talking about estrogen dominance

okay so now the estrogen is really three

hormones estradiol s drone and that’s

the role and I’m going to explain these

two right here so s drone is the type of

estrogen that occurs after menopause and

it’s made from androgens or testosterone

so basically it’s a little complex but

basically you can make estrogen from if

you have too much androgens so there’s a

condition called polycystic ovarian

syndrome that a lot of people have and

that’s the situation where you’re taking

you have too much androgen now how could

how would a woman have too much androgen

well guess what causes androgens spike

insulin so again it’s a little complex

but if you have an insulin problem and

I’ll put some links below if you want to

check that out insulin resistance you

can get PCOS or polycystic ovarian

syndrome from that men when men have too

much energy and whatever it can convert

to estrogen and that’s what causes the

the breast tissue in a male body the

prostate enlargement the low libido okay

that’s this right here because there’s

an enzyme that converts androgen to

estrogen and it’s called aroma taste and

aroma taste basically is always seen in

people with with breast cancer or even

prostate cancer it’s higher and that’s

because the source of that cancer is fed

by estrogen made from this darn enzyme

here and it’s converting the antigen to

more estrogen so you can see there’s a

lot of different places that estrogen is

being produced not just from the ovary

but from progesterone from the

environment from from synthetic

medication from your own androgen is

being converted so so an ester own can

cause erectile dysfunction a lot of

problems in men

you know like men have prostate issues

right what happens is that their test

their estrogen increases as they get

older and the testosterone goes down so

this whole idea that what’s causing the

prostate is high levels of DHT which is

a powerful form of testosterone is not

true because they use DHT to fix

prostate enlargement it’s really the

estrogen that’s messing up enlarging the

prostate so s Joan is a known carcinogen

it causes cancer and it converts to

estradiol okay all right so now Esther

y’all what’s that s3 all if the last the

third type of estrogen and that’s like a

waste product of estradiol okay so it’s

basically there to help buffer estradiol

because of estradiol is too high you’ll

really get cancer and so it’s there to

balance and buffer it because s Terrell

is considered anti cancer so it’s it

protects you against the bad estrogen

sort of speak okay then we have the

hormones and animal products that you

eat if you don’t need organic or hormone

free then you’re getting those estrogen

same thing with dairy xenoestrogens that

would be like in the environment you

have pesticides insecticides herbicides

all that stuff mimics estrogen okay and

I just want to make a note I do not

believe that it’s the estrogen that your

body makes that causes the cancer I

believe it’s from other sources so I

don’t think it’s it’s that your body’s

just making too much there’s something

environmentally that’s increasing and

that’s really what’s causing the cancer

that’s just my opinion by the way the

last thing I want to talk about is GMO

genetically modified foods right now the

big ones are soy corn and beet okay all

the beet sugar and us is basically

genetically modified in the soy and the

corn try to buy food that doesn’t have

that in there and plus guess what they

feed the animals core and corn and soy

so you’re getting a lot of G

oh okay now this is something that’s not

labeled in the grocery stores and the

problem is that when they make something

GMO its modified in a way that it

resistant herbicide okay a weed killer

so the farmers can basically spray more

weed killer on the soy and corn and and

not kill the soil corn just kill

everything else okay as a lot of

consequences the problem is the chemical

name is glyphosate glyphosate is the fat

soluble it’s not water-soluble so it

gets stored in your body right now

there’s certain studies I’ll put the

links below that indicate that GMO the

residue can affect your endocrine system

parts per trillion parts per trillion if

you took let me just give you the

magnitude on it on that let’s just say

you had 600 train trucks okay hook

together filled with a liquid of water

and I took one drop of this glyphosate

and I diluted it into 600 train trucks

that’s the delusion that you would need

to affect your own endocrine system so

it’s very very small amounts and it’s

affecting everyone on a massive scale

this long-term studies are not done and

I think that’s the most obvious thing

that’s creating a lot of estrogen

because not only is this very estrogenic

but this soy is also Astro genic the

chemicals in roundup that are not even

glyphosate are estrogenic and create a

lot of problems so that’s a whole other

video but I’m just kind of showing you

there’s just a lot of things messing up

and raising your level of estrogen so

now the good news let’s show you what to

do about it

okay we took the solution hang in there

I know it’s a long video we want to go

organic vegetable we want to do hormone

free meats and there’s a thing called

aromatase inhibitors now they use this

synthetically for cancer okay but we

want to use the natural things okay so

you have cruciferous vegetables I

personally use a concentrate because

it’s in a pill form and it has all the

cruciferous organic the other

thing is iodine iodine helps lower

estrogen I get it in seek help okay dim

is a concentrated cruciferous

phytochemical and you can get this room

the health of store narrow root is a

very powerful aromatase inhibitor as

well I like the herb nettle root it’s a

really also it’s good for prostate

issues it’s good to lower estrogen it’s

good as an anti-inflammatory

now all those symptoms that I showed you

about estrogen dominance some of them

have joint pain and anxiety those are

mainly not necessarily from estrogen

it’s from the imbalance of estrogen

straining the adrenal okay it’s really

an adrenal symptom just a side note

chase tree black cohosh is a good thing

to take for this condition now if it’s

really really bad and you’ve tried

everything nothing’s working and then at

that point I would get congested Estero

cream okay but that’s pretty powerful

you might not to go might need not go

that route right off the bat and then

cortisol support why because this is a

product that I use cortisol support this

basically goes deeper into the adrenals

and it’s mainly for someone who has low

cortisol not high cortisol so it will

give the adrenals a chance to come up

and not steal your progesterone and I

use that for hot flashes as well but

it’s mainly to help support the adrenals

during menopause as a backup for the

ovaries okay we covered a lot of

information you might have to watch this

again I put some links down below but

thank you so much for watching
