Estrogen Dominance or NOT ENOUGH Progesterone?
Men and women have produced hormones since the beginning of times. But more recently, ongoing research is able to explain why and how hormones affect our physical, mental and emotional health.
The hormone progesterone is one of these important, ever-present hormones that has not been appreciated enough for how much it can benefit us without causing negative side-effects.
Please watch, enjoy and learn how progesterone can benefit you (women AND men) from this day forward!
Is My Thyroid Function Low, High, or Just Right?
A thyroid blood test usually consists of just ONE number: TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), which is not even made by the thyroid but by the pituitary gland in the brain.
However, the reference range for this test is outdated and therefore confusing. If you have any suspicion the actual symptoms you are experiencing are related to your thyroid, then please watch this entire video in order to become more empowered about how to improve the quality of your life.
Environmental Disruptors
So many beautiful places on this planet. Mother Nature is absolutely beautiful, even after millions of years!
However, She is under attack from pollutants that change her very balance. During the last 50 years or so, tremendous amounts of synthetic hormones have been introduced and start to affect life itself. We need to be careful moving forward, because it affects our own health just as much!
Estrogens & the Environment
Hormone-specific prescription drugs for both promoting and deregulating natural hormone production not only affect the inside of our body, but after they’ve done their job, the body eliminates the residue back into the environment.
Look at the effects of TAMOXIFEN® and LUPRON® on the body after they've been described to patients with hormone-related cancers.
Yes, we need hormones to live a quality life, but they have to be natural, otherwise they may negatively affect the environment.
The Birth Control Pill - A Short History
The first birth control pill came out in 1957 when it was initially approved by the FDA to regulate menstruation by disrupting estrogens.
Birth control pills contain either Progestin, which is a synthetic form of natural Progesterone, or they contain a combination of progestin AND estrogen. The purpose is to disrupt natural hormone production.
