What is hormonal imbalance?Hormonal imbalance occurs (usually) when we have too much estrogen in our system &
not
enough progesterone.
How are hormones suppose to work?
Estrogen - (Estrone Estridiol Estriol)
-Main job is to grow the lining of the uterus for egg implantation
-Called the growth hormone because it causes cell proliferation
Progesterone
-Main job is to slow down, oppose estrogen
-Found in higher levels during the 2nd half of a woman's cycle -
the cause for increased sex drive
Our hormones get out of Balance by the following
1)
Overuse of synthetic hormones (the pill, hormone replacement therapy-premarin, prempo) Women's Health Initiative (2003): A study of 17,000 women showed that the increase of breast cancer rate was so
extreme that the FDA stated that it would be "
unethical" to continue the study. The study was suppose to run for 10 years. The Prempro arm of the study was cancelled after 5 years because they found a
huge increase in the risks for
breast cancer,
heart attacks, strokes, & blood clots in the legs and lungs.
2)
Our Diet Beef, pork, chicken, and fish - most are fed estrogen...Why? - Quicker growth rate, Retain water,
Better market value & also found in Dairy products
3)
Stress American women are some of the most stressed women on the planet! -work full-time - maintain family- extra curricular activities - not knowing how to say "no"
What happens when we're stressed? our adrenal glands kick in adrenal glands sit atop the kidneys primarily responsible for regulating the stress response creates cortisol cortisol increases blood pressure rate & blood sugar levels the major "building block" for coritsol is progesterone. *
So stress depletes our already low progesterone levels.
4)
Use of petrochemicals Petrochemicals are those we are exposed to because we are an industrialized nation.
These chemicals are not estrogen but they bind to the estrogen receptors in our bodies (i.e. fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals we clean with, dry cleaning chemicals to name a few) Plastics- When heated in the microwave, dioxin, which is very toxic, is created and leeches into the food and environment & contributes to the increase in breast cancer rates.
SOLUTION #1: AVOID CHEMICAL EXPOSURE... buy organic!
SOLUTION #2: NO PLASTICS IN THE MICROWAVE
SOLUTION #3: ELIMINATE EXTRA STRESS (GET SOME EXERCISE)
SOLUTION #4: TRY NOT TO USE PRODUCTS WITH MINERAL OIL...Look for products with no petrolbased ingredients. Mineral oil (A.K.A. petrolatum, paraffin, petroleum, kaydol, glymol, primol, alboline)
SOLUTION #5: USE OF PROGESTERONE...USP (US Pharmacopeia) on the label. No mineral oil or petrochemical - will defeat the purpose. Container must be airtight and not allow light exposure
