This video was excellent! It is not enough to be told that such change in the body is benign! Our bodies cry out to us for intervention in how we care for them!! Thanks for sharing what you know.
Hey Doc! You’re videos are always so full of honest and simple to understand knowledge. I love them all, thank you! I have a question for you. I love using fasting to heal a lot of issues and the plus is weight loss, but for reproduction issues I’m not sure if I’m fasting correctly. Do you think women should fast differently in different phases of their cycle or is insulin a greater issue and should we just focus on lowering that no matter what stage in our cycle we are? In other words is it more important to sync fasting to your cycle or fast hard to lower insulin. I’m in my late 40s and possibly in perimenopause. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks again.
Great question!!! I love fasting and it is very beneficial on so many ways. An important thing to keep in mind is electrolytes. As a whole, i educate women on the importance of a low carb diet to lower insulin in womanhood. However, during menstruation, it is important for women to maintain a low carb diet but a special focus on lytes. A great book that touches on this is Fast Like a Girl, by Mindy Pelz.
@@consciousgynecologist thanks so much! I do take my Dr. Berg electrolytes everyday 2 servings plus his magnesium glycinate with vitamin D. Also, I have been following Dr. Mindy Pelz for the past few years and I am currently reading her book Fast Like a Girl. I just feel that when I change up my fasts for a stretch of days I start gaining weight, though I feel my cycle is working as it should. That has me stumped. Thank you so much. I really appreciate all your videos and for answering my question. God bless!
Hi there, i'm sorry to hear about your fibroid. It really depends on how large it was/is. If the fibroid was large enough, it may take a really long time for some patients to see a "difference".
What about Covid? doing damage to the uterus the same way it can do damage in the blood vessels every time you catch it.? Every time I get covid (twice now,) i get the type of bleeding that doctors normally associate with a miscarriage, like a haemorrhage, very large clots paasing with contraction like pain in uterus. First time I got a scan almost two years ago they told me they found nothing in my uterus (I believe the report was wrong cause I saw the scan and it wasn't normal looking but I decided, they must know better than me, since they're the professionals). Latest scan last week showed multiple fibroids. I got a second scan cause back in December I got abnormal bleeding again that even the tranexamic acid couldn't completely control it. I've been on tranexamic acid since the first time this happened, May 2022, a week after covid. I think it got bad again after last November, 2023, when I believe I might have had Covid a second time. What does it mean for the C 19 vaccine as well? Could it possibly do this as well if the spike protein doesn't disappear like they said it would? within a day. It can also do epithelial damage like covid then. Can I do anything then to protect those cells from such damage if everything I do is right but covid can still do this damage. Is there any way to protect from inflammatory effect of this and the damage it could be doing? They say the fibroids are still small but there are many of them. During covid, I got sharp shooting pains on both sides of my stomach, like multiple pin needle pains in my sides. I was lead to believe all my irregular bleeding, flooding, large clots, nausea and extreme bleeding was perimenopause by the doctors, so I just kept taking this tranexamic acid, trying to balance my hormones and having no idea it was fibroids. Now I feel I need to ask for both of my scans to take to someone else to have a better look to make sure there is no mistake this time or not anything worse that's being overlooked.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with fibroids. As you know, I cannot give medical advice in the venue, but when I teach this stuff, I can share some medical education that might relate to you. A person's immune system is set up to protect us. One example i like to give is like a paper cut. If a person got a paper cut, later that day, one would notice small swelling in the area. eventually, if there were no further damage to the area, it would heal in a day or two. However, if a person got a paper cut in the SAME PLACE every day, your immune system would be chronically activated to try to repair this area and there would be continued swelling and immune cell activation in this area until the inciting factor went away. In this setting, the immune system would go hay wire, and the tissue may never heal or not heal in the way it was before. this is like covid, as the virus caused mass activation of a person' immune system and even damage to areas that were already trying to heal from other negative exposures. There are a few studies that looked at the correlation between heavy periods and covid 19. In summary, when the immune system is activated for some people, it can look like fibroid growth because that is one of the key activators needed in the development of fibroids. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for your comment.
Thanks for watching! I have a few more videos that talk about heart disease and fibroids and causes of body inflammation that help a lot of people. Good luck on your journey.
I shrunk my fibroid after cancelling the surgery. I changed my diet, intermittent fasting Green tea 3x a day Two boiled eggs every morning. Only sugar free liquids till dinner. Cut all fats and sugars Hope that helps.
@@Shay3356thank you! I just canceled my surgery. But mine are shrinking due to menopause. I desperately want to start an estrogen patch to help with the awful menopause symptoms but can’t risk the fibroids growing. Were you able to keep this diet up after yours shrank? They can grow back.
@@muse3241 this diet is what shrunk my fibroid and I continued this for around 3 months. The menopause I embraced and trusted the process, I just did not want or trust any medical intervention. I couldn’t be happier. I only drink herbal teas, have two eggs every other day and changed to ghee, and extra Virgin olive oil. To stay healthy generally, we need to eat well as women, soo I continue these changes which in fact, keeps the fibroid from grown.

So glad to hear your perspective!
Beautiful! Well explained. You're a wonderful human being as well as doctor.
Wow, thank you!
This is literally groundbreaking!
thank you.
Wish my Mom had told me about the history of fibroids in our family before I was diagnosed.
i understand!
Same here.

My mom had hysterectomy due to fibroids....I have small intramural fibroid...but everyday I do yoga...
Yoga is very balancing and nourishing to our bodies!

@@consciousgynecologist kindly guide me .. should I go for surgery or wait??
Wow.. imagine if all doctors were so thorough
Hi, i was just diagnosed with endomyosis and fibroids. I am 32 years old and have 2 daughters. I do not know what to do. My anxiety is off the roof.
New diagnoses can be so scary and cause so much fear. Learning as much as you can will be the key to any medical concern. You got this!!!

You haven’t said anything that will help women with fibroids. Especially what to do to avoid surgery. Can you be more specific?
