I predict your channel is going to grow quickly. You are so approachable and knowledgeable. ❤
Thank you!!
Great information
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you these vids, I have had a awful menopause and I have been taking Anna’s wild yam cream but not noticed much difference really and having facial hair which is annoying and I would love that to end. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for your comment. Hopefully I'll have a few more resources coming up that will be helpful for you. I find it's a very holistic approach looking at food, lifestyle, interests, where we're expending energy etc.. And Ah yes, I hear you on the dreaded facial hair... ;)
Thank you for your share
What showed up for me at perimenopause and menopause is tinnitus and migraines. I had never experienced either one until late forties. I am 63 now and the headaches have lessened since I added eggs, ghee and red meat back into my diet and dropped high oxalate foods. Still have tinnitus. Any thoughts/suggestions. BTW, you have amazing skin!!
Thank you for your comment and for your compliment (my next post is actually on skin and I'm doing a free workshop on Radiant Skin at every age next week ironically enough!...links in the video notes!)
Yes both these are unexpected symptoms of midlife. The body will show what the 'weakest link' is though symptoms. I am going to be doing a series coming up on understanding your unique midlife body and how to read some of the symptoms so that may be helpful for you. Were you a vegan/vegetarian until you added eggs and ghee back into your diet? Thank you for sharing!
@@angela_warburton Yes, I was vegan for probably 3-4 years before symptoms started. Thought I just needed to go totally organic, grow my veg and not eat anything at all processed. Finally, 4 years later, I thought this isn't working and I have to add the animal food back in. Look forward to this series. Sounds VERY interesting and helpful. Thanks!!
@@angela_warburton Excellent!!!
It's so common that we need to reassess and fine-tune things as we go. Bodies change so much at midlife and with certain life circumstances. Even though something is 'good on paper', I find it always needs to be tweaked and adjusted to the person and to where they are at. So good that you were able to listen and adjust to what you needed. I'll be working on that series coming up and touch on the menopause body in a few other posts. Thank you again for your share!
Thoughts of vitex or wild yam ?
Wild yam is used in Eastern medicine from the food side to build progesterone and it fits the category of starchy whole foods to build progesterone. I don't work with the creams but more use herbs to replenish balance but some women have had a good effect with them. I always find that it's a combination of things (foods, lifestyle, tending to the mental and emotional world etc.) where we see the most significant changes and improvement. Vitex I know is used a lot in the naturopathic world for hormone balancing and we use it in Eastern Medicine but rarely on its own. We combine herbs together to custom treat the pattern of the person, so I find it really depends on what symptoms the woman is presenting with. That's why there isn't one herb/supplement that works for all women. I'll be posting more on understanding your "menopause body type" soon. Hopefully, that helps a bit even though a bit general. Thanks for your comment!
thank you very much for all this information. I just turned 49 and still have regular cycles, but shorter and more abundant. I recognize myself in the symptoms of lack of progesterone. I've been suffering from anxiety disorders for a long time, but now it's taking on major proportions and I'm thinking that it could well be linked to this lack of progesterone, especially as my sleep is increasingly fragile. What do you think of natural progesterone creams (Yam)? Wouldn't it also be interesting when you really suffer from anxiety and insomnia ?
Thanks for your comment and sharing. I work more with Chinese Medicine Herbs and food medicine (we customize it even more than what I mentioned in the video). The skin is our biggest absorbing organ so what we put on matters and can have impact. There are few more videos coming up that may be helpful talking about making sure we're making hormones but also making sure they're available for the body. Some of the foods listed will help, "sleep hygine" (no screens, go to bed when you're tired vs stay up late, don't eat late etc etc.) and #1 is for sure noticing stress triggers and ways you leak energy or override yourself. More on all of these soon. I know that wasn't super specific but hopeful helpful! Thanks again for commenting!
you’re lucky it’s taken that long!
Meat is also a great source of magnesium!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, there is some magnesium n meat, but I find nuts/seeds and greens etc have "more bang for the buck' when it comes to magnesium but I appreciate the nod to meats as well! :)
How can I work with you one on one?
I do some group work and some one to one work. You can book in a call with me here calendly.com/yourradiantlife/30min :)
I am 41. I have breast tenderness durin second week and third week. Just before periods i have headache.
If find that highlighting estrogen building foods in the first part of your cycle and progesterone building foods in the second part can be really helpful long term for a smoother and more symptoms free cycle. (you can watch the building estrogen naturally video here.czcams.com/video/0NEUSjGKVeU/video.htmlsi=WkgoHG5LwqmkNf3Q ) There are of course subtleties to every woman that are best tended to by a health practitioner that can help you look at the whole picture treating you holistically. Thank you for sharing!
Lymphatic massage would help. I had very tendered breast. After massaging myself, it is much better now.
Estrogen is not made from progesterone. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol are made from pregnenolone which is precursor to all these hormones. And yes, too much stress can make bodies choose to produce cortisol instead of progesterone, high insulin will make our bodies produce more testosterone and then estrogen. Yes, we all have to start chilling!
Thank you for your comment. Yes you are correct and I appreciate your comment. I am trying to keep these bite sized and remind women of the cost of stress on their hormones and health. A good reminder to get a bit more specific/detailed in the videos :). I appreciate your share. Yes...we all have to start chilling!
What about DHEA-s? I thought that hormone was a precursor to estrogen and testosterone?
So the progesterone creams in your opinion aren't something that are helpful in menopausal women? I know my mom was on estrogen with progesterone cream and she ended up having to have a hysterectomy at 70. So monkeying with hormones which I have dabbled in seems pretty risky for me. So what I hear you saying is basically what we eat can help hormonally? And yes of course the stress lowering which is so much easier to say than do. And actually everybody's saying that which I think adds to our stress one more stress because we feel like the stress is killing us. Which is highly paradoxical but seems so true.
I don't actually advise on HRT or progesterone creams etc as that's not my modality. I know some people have great responses to them and others not. That's why it's so important to work with a practitioner that can really customize it for you. My training and toolbox is using Eastern medicine, herbs, customized nutrition and all the other lifestyle tools to bring lasting change. I work to really help women find the root of the problem/imbalance and then educate them to understand their body and all the tools to take care of it. I often us custom herbs for a series of months to bring the balance back but it's not something that has to be ongoing when the other things fall into place. Food and lifestyle is huge. And yes, I hear you about the stress around the stress!! (I'm trying to supply you with more and more simple tools that are easy to apply so stay tuned!)
Some women do a combination of HRT/Creams as they like to combine. There isn't one answer or way to approach this, but it's really about finding your way if that makes sense. I know that's not the most satisfying answer...it's really a holistic approach and my experience is when we approach it holistically and when you as the woman is empowered and understand, then big lasting change happens. I hope that helps! Thanks again for your comment!
@@angela_warburton thank you!
