Building Estrogen Naturally for Midlife Women
Vložit

- 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!
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 czcams.com/video/N-jPfbrwB5Q/video.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!
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'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.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
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!
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!
You need to take progesterone if you still have your womb. This helps to prevent uterine cancer. Women who don't have wombs anymore, only need to take oestrogen if they are on HRT. www.youtube.com/@MenopauseTaylor
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 :) czcams.com/video/N-jPfbrwB5Q/video.html
@@angela_warburtonThank-you for the link!. And, I agree, little steps/changes can get you there. That’s a great reminder! 💞
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 😊
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this and got some good information . Subscribed 😊
