Building Estrogen Naturally for Midlife Women
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Estrogen is a key hormone that declines in midlife. Although our bodies are set up for this, many modern women suffer from debilitating symptoms associated with estrogen decline. Dull lifeless hair, premature aging of the skin, and aches and pains that resurface out of nowhere can all be signs of unhealthy estrogen decline.
There are so many things that you can do to maintain healthy hormone levels throughout midlife and yes, even through menopause. When you're able to help keep yourself nourished and balanced, you can prevent many of the symptoms we have come to expect and see as normal during menopause in Western culture.
In this video, I'll share some top foods, preparation hacks and lifestyle tips to support healthy estrogen levels throughout the perimenopause and menopause years.
Eastern Medicine has thousands of years of wisdom on how to bring the body back to balance and live with vitality at every stage of life!

one thing missed here that is a source of phytoestrogens is flax seed - and for many of us soy (also phytoestrogen) is not a good food. Most soy is GMO and it is highly allergenic for many of us. When I had to stop taking estrogen for a medical reason and had unbearable hot flashes - flax seed stopped!!! them. That was proven when I was away on holiday, ran out of what I had taken with me (weight on my flight was an issue) - and back came the flashes in full unbearable force. I buy whole gold flaxseeds, grind them a bit at a time in a coffee grinder and keep them in the fridge. It took almost a half cup at the worst time years ago - now I just use a couple of tablespoons a day (age 76 now). I gave up on trying to use it in my cooking or sprinkle it on things and just mixed it up like pablum and spooned it down! If your ground flax is fresh and refrigerated it has little taste - rancid pre-ground stuff tastes fishy. I've told
a few friends about this and it worked for them as well. I'm Swedish - so flax seed is a more normal food for me genetically than soy is.
Beautiful! That's so great to hear. Thank you for sharing this.
Yes flax is amazing and I highly recommend it as well. And I agree, soy can be problematic for some people. I always insist people get non-gmo organic and consume soy in it's whole/close to whole form (edamame, tempeh, tofu from non gmo source, 1 ingredient soy milk etc). I see in my practice so many issues that come when people think more is better and use the soy isolates and also don't diversify their foods. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and success with flax!
@@angela_warburton I got the memo just now on my dirty little habits...diversify my foods. Thank you. Maybe it is titled "aha moment".
Agree! Flax see is a game changer. Also spirited sprouted red cover seeds. Edit! That's sprouted red CLOVER 🍀 seeds....
Haha, I love that! Thank you for your share!
Have you tried flax oil?
She clearly looks radiant.😊 What doesn't harm you won't harm you - if natural. Nuttin' to lose.😊❤
Thanks for your comment :)
Great video! I craved anything raspberry when I was going through menopause…..Couldn’t get enough! Our bodies tell us what we need, if we just stop and listen 😌
Yes, our bodies are so wise! Giving us little messages all the time. Thank you for your comment and sharing!
I needed this. Cortisol is very high and all other hormines are almost depleted. Started HRT, the prpgesterone is too much for my gallbladder so I'm,back to square 1 trying to help muself naturally. I've had bad anxiety for about 10 years and I can't do much more.
Thanks for your comment and for sharing a bit more about your story. There's a few videos on the liver system (which you might find useful along with the nervous system calming techniques and oils). Little bits add up over time so I hope they are helpful for you. There is hope, but I'm can imagine how hard it is for you to navigate this challenging time. Thank you for sharing and your comment.
This is such a Wonderful and Calming share. I love how you bring the eastern medicine into practice. Yes sleep and breathing are so important for our hormones. Since I've started my yoga practice the last few years I feel so much better. I also started doing those Michael Sealey meditations which help me tremendously. The change is real my friend & taking care of ourselves is so important. Thank you for this calming and wonderful share which is so informative and uplifting. Thank you👍🏻💞❤🥰💐🙏🏻
Thank you! I'm so glad it resonated and thank you for sharing what's worked for you and some of your tools. It's so important that we share these stories and tools! Thank you for your comment and for being here!
I am very grateful that your channel came up on my feed. Very helpful advice. The way you speak is calming and soothing. Thank you
I'm so glad you are finding it helpful! Thanks for your comment :)
Thank you Angela, this is the first video I've watched of yours and I must say it was an answer to prayer. Navigating menopause or post menopause, I don't know which is the correct definition, has been a journey. Trying to find actual answers and knowing it is a natural part of our lives. Plus the symptoms I would have weren't the ones that seem to be the main complaints. I have been post since age 50 and I'm 66 now. At first I didn't have anything but a joyful feeling...I will be studying your content and putting it to practice.
Thank you so much for your comment. YES! Menopause is a natural and normal part of being a woman. A stage transition much like puberty. i"ll be talking about this more in the upcoming weeks (We refer to menopause as a "Second Spring' in Eastern Medicine. And there are so many varied experience of what people feel. I'll be sharing more about how to understand your symptoms from an Eastern perspective too. Thank you for your share and for being here!
Refreshing to see a video about natural ways to boost estrogen, not just the old take Hrt story! I'm an acupuncturist, enjoying your eastern medicine angle 😊
Lovely to have you here and thank you for your comment fellow acupuncturist! :)
@angela_warburton ah that's great! Glad you're putting this info out there 😍
I'm so grateful your channel came up on my feed. Perimenopausal here! Thank you 😊❤
You are so welcome - I'm so glad you are here!
@@kd2533 me too. It makes clear sense.
Try intermitten fasting. Then making the first thing you eat after the fast to be high protein high fat. So after your last meal try to go 12 hrs no food. Or 16 hrs. Work your way up.
Yes intermittent fasting can definitely be helpful. I also really recommend people to fast over night by eating dinner earlier vs prolonging breakfast. In Eastern Medicine eating late at night has a ripple effect that can work against what you're trying to do. Thanks for your thoughts!
I do this all this year and it's been amazing! I break my intermittent fast with a protein shake with flax meal and unsweetened soymilk.
@wyrdwitch13 it depends on one's blood type, I feel as far as the intermittent fasting goes. Blood type O and B are good with the intermittent fasting. Not so much with A.
@@ladylavie3067 ok, well it's working very well for me personally. I don't know my blood type even though I am older.
100% health practices need to be adjusted to the person. That's what I love about Eastern Medicine and helping people understand they're body type and patterns. There isn't a one size fits all for health and the more we understand our unique body type, and most importantly, what to do to balance it, the more empowered we are! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much. Very interesting. I'm 48 and I spent 6 weeks doing a physically taxing and stressful and kinda manic weed control job on the farm by myself and began to experience hot flashes in the night. I've since had 3 weeks break from it and no symptoms now. I'll go gentler on myself next time. 12:20
Thank you for sharing! What a powerful and great thing to notice about yourself. I find that increase stress is the number one cause of the symptoms women experience around peri/menopause and it's so amazing that you noticed first hand the effects, but also how the break helped to reset your system. Thank you for this and welcome!
@@angela_warburton Thanks Angela!
You're so welcome!
I am 60. If I do not have soy for 2 weeks I start getting hot flashes again! On a trip to Europe for a month I had trouble keeping up and found my symptoms returning. Glad to be back in China.
Thank you for your comment. That's an amazing thing to notice. It might be interesting to try some of the other foods if you know you'll be travelling somewhere it's hard to get soy. Thank you for sharing!
Me too
Your skin is STUNNING. I'll do whatever you're doing!! :)
Thank you! That's lovely! I'm actually doing a free series on Radiant Skin at Any Age on Tuesday July 16th if you're interested. You can find out more/register here learn.yourradiantlife.ca/Radiant-Summer-Skin

😢 Missed
I missed this series too. Today is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours. I subscribed. I would love to see that series, if possible.
I'll be doing that one again soon. I have another free series coming up that might be helpful

Thanks for being here and your comment!
@@angela_warburton done. Thanks.
First time I have seen your videos. Very helpful & timely as I went through early menopause & am now in mid-50’s. Thank-you for doing this! 💞 I have been wondering about my diet. Seems it’s not too bad, 😅 but I can make a few improvements. Also, I have ptsd related to a series of traumas. Will be looking for the other videos you mentioned. Do you have one you would particularly recommend? I did require a medication which I am weaning off. They wanted me on more, but I truly don’t think we know enough. There sadly has been no plan to get me off what I did accept….I have been going slow & doing well. Lots of time has passed, I have had therapy, and continue to educate & manage my situation. HUGE difference between now & then. 😊 Looking forward to watching more. Thanks again. ❤
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for sharing. I suggest the nervous system resetting video. I will be doing more videos and supports coming up as well. I find it's the little things that we do to help reset moment to moment can be so helpful in complimenting other care and healing. I'm so glad you've come so far! Welcome and I'm so glad you are here :)
this is the video with a resetting tool :) ua-cam.com/video/N-jPfbrwB5Q/v-deo.html
@@angela_warburtonThank-you for the link!. And, I agree, little steps/changes can get you there. That’s a great reminder! 💞
you look very healthy. Thanks for this informative video!
Thank you :) And thanks for your comment!
thank you, very helpful, and common sense too. one of the struggles of coming out of stress for me was boredom, and then resisting the temptation of stress/excitement.
This is a very important comment! We get so addicted to cortisol and the 'rush' that it can be hard to come down and know what to do with ourselves. Sitting down and BEing or resting is one of the most challenging things for modern busy women. The nervous system resetting tools can be helpful (see one here ua-cam.com/video/N-jPfbrwB5Q/v-deo.htmlsi=KK5XEuYak_TpZ4RX). Have you noticed a difference over time with the boredom and urge to fill your time with something 'exciting'? Thank you for sharing!
This is great information. Please may I ask if this is evidence based? There is so much conflicting information out this. Thank you
Hi - great question! So my information is a combination of Eastern Medicine principles that I combine with modern science/research. Eastern Medicine is based in empirical evidence over thousands of years and reads the body differently and more as a holistic system. I combine this and overlay it with the latest research and combine the two together for a more fulsome picture. They compliment and work together in many beautiful ways. I hope that helps/answers your question! Thanks for your comment!
@@angela_warburton thanks for the reply. I don’t take HRT so these food options are great 😊
Thanks for supporting women in hormone health! A lot of the foods you list are high in oxalates, like spinach and Brazil nuts. Juices lose the fiber so spike insulin, so smoothies with the full food is better. Are you vegetarian? What about grass fed butter, raw dairy, grass fed meat, etc?
Ah yes, there are so many nuances to foods and that's why it's so important to match the foods to the person! There is so much more I could say in the vidoes but am trying to keep the videos 'bite sized'. I will be sharing more about the Eastern Medicine approach to foods coming and talk more about all the different foods (meat/dairy etc.). I am not vegetarian and I don't believe there is one diet for everyone as it's so important to match the person, their pattern and the foods. Everything you mentioned is good to pay attention to including when someone would use a juice and how important fibre is for insulin levels etc. Thanks for your comment and share!
Watching from the UK. Thank you so much for all your advice. Really appreciate it.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it's resonating.
I am happy to find you 😊
Thank you for guidance 🙏🏼🥰
Thank you for being here and your comment! I'm so glad you are here and are enjoying the content!
@@angela_warburton Hi dear !
I am a menopausal woman
and dealing with palpitations so can you please guide me for this ?🙏🏼
I've had a few requests for this so am working on a video for this. There are a few reasons/patterns in TCM / Eastern Medicine so there are a few things to consider, but it's coming soon! Thank you for your request and comment. I'm so glad you are here!
Very helpful....i think there is not enough help/ support for women who are having their kids late in life..35+ and before they know it, find themselves at the cusp of perimenopause... Could you please make a video on it? We would just feel heard and understood. Thank you
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate what you're saying, going form motherhood to menopause very fast. Can you tell me more about what kind of information or support you're looking for and then I can create something that speaks to that. I really appreciate your comment and what you shared. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Very informative and helpful.
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I use evorol Conti patches but I get neausa vertigo and sore joints thank you for this video ❤🌹
Thank you for being here and your comment!
Excellent video, thank you so much!
You're very welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
❤ you look fantastic!
Oh thank you! That's very kind :). Thanks for your comment and for being here
Lady you are incorrect. Once your hormones leave, they do not come back! you can use flax and other phyto estrogens to temporarily ameliorate hot flashes, but that's not the only thing we need hormones for after menopause! we need HRT to help our skin, bones, brain health (especially need Progesterone for myelin sheath rebuilding.) sorry, you are not giving correct information. Flaxseed is a goitrogen and can mess up your thyroid, occasional use ok, and it is a good source of Om 3 and fiber, but women who add tablespoonsfuls to each meal will be sorry. it will not prevent bone loss or help rebuild bone. only HRT works.
Over 40. No hot flashes. Memory issues or wrinkling. Chronic pain. Personal testimony ❤
Thanks for your comment and your thoughts. I understand what you are saying. I am actually never saying that hormones will comeback to premenopause levels by doing this. I am working on making sure women are able to maintain healthy systems and balance and maintain the levels that they do have. There is a lot that's important to health post-menopause which includes bone health, brain health, maintaining muscle mass etc.. HRT can be helpful, but without looking at the whole picture and supporting women holistically, HRT can be like pouring water in a bucket but not addressing the holes in the bucket, so if they stop, they are back where they started (and there are nuances to all of this I know). So my work focuses on making sure women have the information to address the 'holes in the bucket' whether or not they coose to use HRT. BTW not everyone needs, wants or can use HRT so it's so important to have more tools. And re: Flax seed, there is not one food that is good for all. That's why it's so important to understand your body, work with someone who can customize foods, herbs, etc. and take all of you into account. I appreicate your thoughts and I think it's so important that we have inclusive conversations about all the supportive modalities that will help women - the more hands on deck the better everyone will be! Thanks again for your comment :)
Our Western diet needs HRT not everyone follows the Western diet that's why women in other parts of the world don't have HRT or even heard of it.
@@amllo4553 living in Africa. Neither my great grandmother, grandmother, mother nor I are on HRT. SYMPTOMS of Menopause are not severe. Bones and mind all intact. What to say???
Thank you for your comment! It's amazing to look at the stats around the world around women and the symptoms they experience and hands down, western culture and North American women have the worst symptoms....to me this is key to what needs to be done to address this. It's so much about the way we're living that's unsustainable.
I really appreciate your share and thanks for weighing in from Africa :)
Hi.... What do you advice someone diagnosed with hormone sensitive breast cancer... Stage 1 and is going through full menopause?
How do I balance my hormones to deal with all that you've talked about?
Thanks for your question. For this, I recommend you work with a natural health practitioner along with any WM practitioners. hormone-sensitive breast cancers have a few underlying patterns and you're going to want to work with your specific symptoms and your particular pattern. I worked in integrative cancer care for years, and there's lots you can do, but it's important you work with someone who can tailor it to your body and situation specifically. Eating a whole food diet, free from pesticides, making sure you get a variety of nutrients and different food and managing stress (see the nervous system resetting tools here (ua-cam.com/video/N-jPfbrwB5Q/v-deo.htmlsi=_EkjYQhstXzPYBvv) are all important and helpful for healing in with both menopause symptoms and cancer. You might also want to check out this video (ua-cam.com/video/O2L9iku2Y6g/v-deo.html) for the foundations for balancing hormones as it too will be helpful for cancer healing. But for more specifics, you definitely want to work with someone one-to-one. I hope that's a bit helpful for you. Thank you for your comment and wishing you the best in your healing. xo
I appreciate your content. I went through menopause by the time I was 49. I am now 63. I had no symptoms of menopause. I meditate and I eat very well such as many of the things that you have suggested here. However, the last year I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin the dryness and the redness, especially in the private areas has been unbearable. My doctor believes my estrogen has dropped really low and the suggestion that I use an estrogen cream. I have tried this and noticed no improvement. Any suggestions?
Ah yes, I actually have a post I'm working on on exactly this. Stay tuned and it should be up over the next few weeks.Thanks for your comment and share!
@@angela_warburton looking forward to your video!
For your face try castor oil (good quality) my face was dropping and I suspect from water retention. This made an immediate difference
The video is here and I'm doing a free talk that's more in depth today here

I LIVE IN A REMOTE ONE HORSE TOWN. WE DONT HAVE THE OPTIONS OF ORGANIC FOOD, AND NO PLASTICS, ETC. JUST ONE GROCERY STORE. YOU KNOW, THE KIND WHERE SOFT DRINK ALMOST TAKES UP THE ENTIRE SIDE OF ONE ISLE
Ah yes, this can be such a challenge! As much as you can do to eat a whole food diet will be helpful. You might like this video on the foundations of building healthy hormones as it has a few gut strengthening suggestions in it ua-cam.com/video/O2L9iku2Y6g/v-deo.htmlsi=6aIETf89nApbehe6
I hope that helps! Thanks for your comment(s) and for being here!!
The To-Do list will still be there when we die 🤷♀️
Haha - ain't that the truth! Time for that driving inner bully to take a back seat for some rest! ;)
I guess that's sarcasm not bullying.. no need to exaggerate things.
Most of the foods you mention are also SUPER HIGH OXALATES
Ah Oxalates. So oxalates aren't necessarily bad, and the foods that are high in oxalates also have many other huge benefits. The most important thing is to avoid them if you have a system that is reactive to them. Some people need to avoid them, it's true. Others can eat with no side effects/issues. I always suggest getting a variety of different foods (fruits/vegetables/protein sources etc.) as they all have different benefits. In my experience when someone sticks to one form of protein or one type of green (like a client I had that only ate spinach and developed a reaction to oxalates, or those who only ate soy as their protein and developed an allergy etc.), that is where we start to see problems. So first get diversity and try a mix of the different foods. Second, know your body and if you notice challenges, sensitivities (which can be done with the help of qualified natural health practitioner or observing reactions to foods etc.), avoiding or limiting depending on the case. Not a cut and dry answer. I appreciate your comment and post!
What about Progesterone? Do we need it after Menopause and should we supplement with bioidentical wild yam based Progesterone? I've been taking it daily since my obgyn put me on it and it takes me quite a while to wake up.
I just did a video on progesterone that will come out tomorrow! Thank you for sharing and welcome!
I am 52 and have uterine fibroids and so am not sure this applies to me? I am in peri-menopause and was told fibroids would shrink in menopause. For now, should I avoid the foods you recommend as they are estrogen-boosting (cause of fibroids)? 🙏🏻
Ah this is a very good and important question. Small amounts of these foods as part of a varied diet has many health benefits.
When looking to boost estrogen naturally, particularly when cycling, you can highlight more of these food in the first part of your cycle to naturally support and boost your estrogen. For a case such as yours, it's ideal that you work with a health practitioner. TCM/Eastern Medicine can be helpful in treating fibroids b/c it looks at your unique pattern (I'll be doing more coming up on understanding your menopause body type and the different patterns that present themselves so that may be helpful for you too). The root of fibroids is not the same for all women, so it's important that you work with someone who can help direct you to the specific care and treatment customized to your unique case. So unfortunately I can't get any more specific for you and I know it can be frustrating when you're looking for specific support. . Thanks for your comment and for being here
What about taking DIM? If you recommend it, what dosis?
DIM lowers estrogen, that's the opposite of what you want!
Hi - DIM works to balance "good" and "bad" estrogen's in the body and can be extremely helpful in addition to helping to prevent cancers, decrease inflammation, help with hotflashes etc. I tend to work with it more form the whole food side vs the supplement. If you want to get more specific with a supplement, I recommend working with a local naturopath/practitioner so they can customize it for you and what your needs are. I know that's not super helpful or specific. Making sure you're getting it through food sources (and ideally through cooked foods vs raw for absorption), can make a huge difference on it's own. I hope that helps a bit. (and my apologies for the delayed response, this comment got lost in my feed). Thanks for your question and comment!
Any suggestions for onset insulin resistance in 60's no energy and set income so very hard to get or afford support
Yes lots that can be done for that. I'll do a recording soon but there are a few foundations of healthy insulin 1- make sure to reduce stress any way you can (watch my previous videos on resetting your nervous system) and reduce stimulants and quick energy foods (coffee and sugar).
2- some light intermittent fasting and opting for whole grains vs white flour products (ie brown rice vs white, bread with whole grains vs white etc). and lots of green foods. A few little suggestions that can make a big difference over time. And of course, check with your Doctor or health care provider for care specific to you
Great advice, we need to be kinder to ourselves 😊
Look into Keto. It costs discipline only.
Eat your vegetables first to help with fibre. Lots of broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels
So so true! As Women we are typically so hard on ourselves. I often wonder how many of us would be friends with ourselves if we were talked to that way! Thanks for your comment!
I noticed that you didn't mention gluten and sugar/carbs. Do you have information on the impact on estrogen production?
Great question - I'm going to be doing a video on digestion and hormones coming up so will mention more then. Thanks for your comment!
If you had tripple positive cancer what can you eat to increase estrogen but still not affect the cancer, thanks.
This is a really good and important question. For this, it's really important that you work with a qualified practitioner that knows your specific history and can customize the food for your recovery based on your personal risk factors and needs. Having said that, so many of the foods that help keep hormonal pathways open and functioning well also have anti-cancer cancer properties. Cold pressed oils, leafy greens, whole foods, nuts and seeds etc. as part of a diverse and wholesome diet can have a profound impact on health, hormones and cancer healing and remission. I actually worked in a government funded integrative cancer centre in Canada for a number of years where they were funded to study the effects of this kind of diet, and other modalities and healing principles and it's effects on patient outcomes. The good news it works both in conjunction with western treatments and for remission and on it's own. I have a mini course that speaks to the foundations of healing based on these principles and the TCM approach if you're ever interested. You can find more here learn.yourradiantlife.ca/Integrative-Cancer-Care
Thanks for your comment and I hope this was somewhat helpful. All the best with your healing!
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this and got some good information . Subscribed 😊
Wonderful - I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Im having a hard time with estradiol patch. Can I stop using it and begin to use phytoestrogen foods instead?
Ah you'll have to talk with your prescribing practitioner for this. It's great to use both together as you work to come off HRT if that's what you're wanting to do. You might enjoy/find the video on building healthy hormones naturally and the other estrogen building suggestions helpful as well as well.

Wonder TCM view on Western Functional Integrative thought about Adrenal Glands Dysfunction?it seems only if Adrenal Glands dont Step In during Perimenopause n Post Menopause phase 😅Women get Distressing Symptoms 😢so Adrenal Glands need Support too?🤔
Absolutely! We speak about the Kidney system which is more than just the organ and adrenals. It's one of the keys of health and longevity at any age. And, as you know adrenals are one of the primary provider of hormones post menopause so yes...HUGE! :) Thanks for your comment and thoughts!
@angela_warburton WoW so do you have any Videos on kidney system Support for Perimenopause n Post Menopause Women ? 😅
Working on it! I have lots in my courses but working on the videos for here! :)
Hello I just found your channel. Ive had a full hysterectomy and am almost 62 years young. Do these tips help when you have this procedure? I take Estrodol to avoid reoccurring bladder infections and dryness. any tips on natural estrogen at this stage of life? I will add this tips you have shared. Thank you.
Food can really act like medicine and definitely compliment any hormone assisted protocols you are doing. I can't speak to your unique case as there are definitely nuances to prescribing food for rebalance, but eating a whole food, diverse diet that includes the foods I mentioned can be really helpful long term. I'll be posting more over the upcoming weeks on understanding your unique body etc.. Thank you for your comment and being here!
Kinda surprised she didn't mention that the microbiome of the GI tract and vagina need to have healthy flora (probiotics) to properly process the estrogens...
Thanks for your comment. Yes the microbiome is so important to estrogen and hormones. I try to keep these videos bite sized so I can't fit everything in one. I did do another one on the 4 keys to healthy hormones that touches on this very topic, so I'm right there with you! ua-cam.com/video/O2L9iku2Y6g/v-deo.html
Thanks for the mention...as it is indeed very important!
What about oxilates from the carbs and nuts you mentioned?
I just did a video on this for you. It's looking at foods high in oxalates from more of an eastern medicine perspective. I hope it's helpful! ua-cam.com/video/POfj3HechhU/v-deo.html Thanks for your comment!
What if you have zero estrogen, which has translated to sagging skin, wrinkles, dry skin? Can you turn it around?
Well, in my experience and belief, bodies are programmed to heal. So when we shift what we're doing, learn to read the symptoms and signals and make the appropriate changes...things change. I can't obviously speak for your specific case, but I believe there are always things we can do to improve our health. It's the foundation of what I do :). Thanks so much for being here and your comment!
Pardon me for asking, but how old are you? You look amazing!
Thank you! 54, I'll be 55 next month. Thanks for watching :)
I think this picture is altered. There is no defined lines.
Well, I do have some smile lines and get a furrowed brow when I think too much ;) but it is a professional photo with good lighting so that always helps, but it's not altered! Thanks for your comment - I'm always happy to answer any questions you have.
Can we have too much estrogen?
This is a great question! If you work on building/maintaining healthy estrogen levels through lifestyle and food it's hard to get too much. You can get too much if you're using hormone replacement for estrogen, which is why it's so important to speak with/work with a qualified practitioner who's doing the prescribing and monitoring you closely. It's also possible to have too much estrogen in your system compared to the other hormones. This can be a result of your detox pathways and you're body not eliminating it 'effectively' in addition to a few other reasons. Everyone has their own unique ecosystem so it's important to listen to your body and understand the signs and symptoms when your body is off balance or speaking to you through symptoms. I'll be sharing more in the upcoming weeks about how to ready your body symptoms from and Eastern perspective and how it relates to hormones, so stay tuned :). Hopefully that's somewhat helpful!
