- 0:22Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
- 0:26Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
- 0:29Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
- 0:32Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
- 0:35Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
- 0:39Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. This is our second
- 0:57Speaker 3: to last female hormone condition podcast. This one is I've
- 1:01Speaker 3: talked about it before in the past, but we're going
- 1:03Speaker 3: to go a bit more depth with it today. And
- 1:06Speaker 3: that is hurt setism or hurts suitism, however you want
- 1:09Speaker 3: to pronounce it. And that is basically male pattern hair
- 1:14Speaker 3: on a female. Now, there is of course the female
- 1:18Speaker 3: patterning on a male body. But we're gonna be talking
- 1:21Speaker 3: about the male pattern on a female body. So hair
- 1:25Speaker 3: basically where you don't want it on your face, on
- 1:28Speaker 3: your belly button, around the nipples, on your back. I mean,
- 1:31Speaker 3: you'll have women that have all kinds of hair, and
- 1:34Speaker 3: we're going to talk about roughly why and what to do.
- 1:37Speaker 3: And this is kind of a fun one because this
- 1:39Speaker 3: can be pretty life changing when you help a woman
- 1:43Speaker 3: who has let's say, fairly dark hair in her arms
- 1:47Speaker 3: and legs and she wants to cover up because she
- 1:50Speaker 3: doesn't like it and it's not quote unquote ladylike. And
- 1:55Speaker 3: while this definitely deals with a increased testos, there may
- 2:01Speaker 3: be other issues on the docket, so to speak. Now,
- 2:05Speaker 3: the most obvious thing is, say, hey, how do we
- 2:07Speaker 3: get this testosterone in a woman's body to convert to estrogen?
- 2:11Speaker 3: And it is a zinc dependent enzyme called aromatase. Now,
- 2:16Speaker 3: there isn't technically a way to make estrogen convert to testosterone,
- 2:22Speaker 3: but as a woman needs testosterone, they convert that testosterone
- 2:27Speaker 3: to estrogen, and if they don't have enough zinc, they
- 2:31Speaker 3: don't do that, and so now they have an androgen
- 2:34Speaker 3: or a testosterone excess. Most women will express this type
- 2:39Speaker 3: of symptom or this excess testosterone as PCOS or polycystic
- 2:46Speaker 3: ovarian disease. And so if you're out there and you've
- 2:50Speaker 3: had a doctor visit and they said, you know, you
- 2:51Speaker 3: have a few cysts on your ovaries, then that means
- 2:55Speaker 3: you have too much testosterone running around and you're unable
- 2:58Speaker 3: to convert it downstream to estrogen, which you need to do.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And men need estrogen too, So if a man takes
- 3:06Speaker 3: a lot of zinc, it doesn't mean that he's going
- 3:08Speaker 3: to get man boobs. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
- 3:10Speaker 3: If we don't have enough zinc, we tend to do
- 3:12Speaker 3: exactly that. Now, what happens in a man if he
- 3:16Speaker 3: takes testosterone and he's got a lot of zinc, he
- 3:20Speaker 3: will inevitably convert it downstream to estrogen because of the
- 3:24Speaker 3: excess that he's putting in his body from external sources.
- 3:28Speaker 3: They're usually way over testosteroning gentlemen, and so that's something
- 3:33Speaker 3: that if you're one of those men, or you have
- 3:35Speaker 3: a man that you're concerned about that's on testosterone, then
- 3:39Speaker 3: we definitely need to talk about what to do. And
- 3:41Speaker 3: so for women out there, zinc is one of the
- 3:44Speaker 3: easiest things to do, but it's really easy to get
- 3:46Speaker 3: kind of too much crappy zinc. So I'm very careful
- 3:49Speaker 3: in the form of zinc that I will do for women,
- 3:52Speaker 3: and I tend to make sure that it is from
- 3:56Speaker 3: a liver source. Now, women also need a significant amount
- 4:00Speaker 3: of copper, and most women and including men, have copper toxicity,
- 4:05Speaker 3: probably coming from copper pipes, hot water. Who knows, if
- 4:09Speaker 3: you're down south and you swim in a pool, then
- 4:11Speaker 3: you get copper. But I see copper toxicity fairly frequently
- 4:15Speaker 3: in both men and women. And so if you're a
- 4:17Speaker 3: woman out there and say, yeah, I'd like to hear
- 4:19Speaker 3: some of this excess hair, then by all means, zinc
- 4:22Speaker 3: is first and foremost. But we would also want to
- 4:25Speaker 3: make sure that your petuitary and your hypothalamus are working
- 4:28Speaker 3: really well. And you might be asking me, what in
- 4:30Speaker 3: the world is a petuitary and a hypothalamus in our brain?
- 4:35Speaker 3: We have a hypothalamus that sits at the center of
- 4:38Speaker 3: the brain and it has no blood brain barrier, and
- 4:43Speaker 3: it does not have one because it needs to sample
- 4:47Speaker 3: our blood real time to make decisions hormonally at a
- 4:50Speaker 3: moment's notice. And so the hypothalamus sits above the petuitary,
- 4:55Speaker 3: and the petuitary is kind of the workhorse. It has
- 4:58Speaker 3: two parts of the potuit puitary has a posterier part
- 5:01Speaker 3: and an anterior part. Now they both do different things,
- 5:05Speaker 3: but suffice to say that the pituitary working is really
- 5:08Speaker 3: important for growth hormone, for lutinizing hormone, for follicle stimulating hormone,
- 5:12Speaker 3: which both of those run the female hormone cycle month
- 5:18Speaker 3: to month and make sure everything's happening so that a
- 5:20Speaker 3: woman can become pregnant. And again, to just say that
- 5:22Speaker 3: zinc is all you need is a bit myopic, So
- 5:26Speaker 3: it's a bit close minded. The female body, just like
- 5:30Speaker 3: the male body, needs a full complement of trace minerals
- 5:33Speaker 3: to run these hormonal processes or production. And some of
- 5:37Speaker 3: your hormones are protein derived, so you need a good
- 5:41Speaker 3: source of protein and able to digest it. Some of
- 5:44Speaker 3: your hormones, just like men, are also fat soluble hormones
- 5:49Speaker 3: or made from fat or steroids. And so there are
- 5:53Speaker 3: different hormones out there. They're not just all kind of
- 5:56Speaker 3: a cookie cutter from this one material. There are different
- 6:00Speaker 3: types of hormones out there in different styles, and so
- 6:04Speaker 3: it really takes a full complement of good fats in
- 6:06Speaker 3: your diet, of good minerals, of good digestion to get
- 6:09Speaker 3: the proteins in that you need to make these things
- 6:11Speaker 3: and have a stable functional hormonal system. So facial hair
- 6:17Speaker 3: and body hair that you don't technically want is definitely
- 6:21Speaker 3: zinc driven. But it's all these other trace minerals too
- 6:24Speaker 3: that we want to take a look at. So while
- 6:27Speaker 3: zinc would be a cornerstone, we would want a trace
- 6:29Speaker 3: mineral product of some sort that is easy to get
- 6:32Speaker 3: to and easy to digest, as well as pituitary and
- 6:35Speaker 3: hypothalamus support. And that's not a tall order. Those things
- 6:40Speaker 3: are doable on most women. So I hope this gave
- 6:43Speaker 3: you kind of a little bit of an insight to
- 6:45Speaker 3: how would I begin to approach this particular issue. And again,
- 6:49Speaker 3: each woman is different. They come with all of their
- 6:52Speaker 3: other things that have related to their particular condition. So
- 6:57Speaker 3: when you're dealing with something like that, we don't want
- 7:00Speaker 3: to say it's just cut and dry, simple, easy, because
- 7:02Speaker 3: they're often not. But doing an overall detailed program with
- 7:06Speaker 3: feeding your body well and eliminating foods that are not
- 7:10Speaker 3: good for it, and doing some maybe simple glandular support
- 7:14Speaker 3: and some chiropractic to make sure that your brain is
- 7:16Speaker 3: controlling all of those systems correctly. By getting good information
- 7:20Speaker 3: from the body back in would go a long way
- 7:24Speaker 3: to helping your condition overall. So I hope that was helpful.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Until next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is
- 7:30Speaker 3: way more right with you than there is wrong with you.
