- 0:22Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
- 0:26Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
- 0:29Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
- 0:32Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
- 0:35Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
- 0:39Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. This is our very
- 0:56Speaker 3: last installment on female hormone condition and what to do.
- 1:03Speaker 3: And you know, it's one of those things that I
- 1:07Speaker 3: have a lot of women that have come in and
- 1:10Speaker 3: they're in menopause or they're postmenopausal. They've gone through that
- 1:14Speaker 3: year of unstable, I don't know if I'm going to
- 1:18Speaker 3: have another period, and after a year of not having one,
- 1:20Speaker 3: then we can retrospectively say, ah, you were in menopause
- 1:24Speaker 3: and now you're in postmenopause. And so if you're around
- 1:28Speaker 3: that age and you're finding yourself kind of a bit
- 1:32Speaker 3: more moody, a bit harder to control temper, if you're
- 1:36Speaker 3: finding your skin is dry, if you're finding that perhaps
- 1:40Speaker 3: you've already noticed that the vaginal canal is drying too,
- 1:45Speaker 3: and that perhaps sex is a bit painful. It is
- 1:50Speaker 3: interesting and it would be a fascinating number to know
- 1:53Speaker 3: how much divorce is caused by vaginal dryness and painful
- 2:00Speaker 3: intercourse where a woman is just no longer interested in
- 2:04Speaker 3: that aspect of life because she doesn't know what to do.
- 2:06Speaker 3: And so a couple podcasts back, I talked about painful intercourse.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Please go back and listen to that. But this is
- 2:13Speaker 3: going to lend right into that talk. And so it's
- 2:17Speaker 3: not a super easy, simple fix. But if it's something
- 2:23Speaker 3: that is important to you to have physical intimacy with
- 2:28Speaker 3: your partner, then this is probably something that you're going
- 2:31Speaker 3: to want to pay some special attention to. And a
- 2:33Speaker 3: lot of it is going to be diet and exercise
- 2:37Speaker 3: and being kind to your liver and other things. So
- 2:41Speaker 3: let's jump in and talk about these things. Now you
- 2:43Speaker 3: might think, well, what in the world does thinning skin
- 2:46Speaker 3: have to do with all this. Well, just like going
- 2:49Speaker 3: into menopause, we have this decreased production of progesterone and estrogen.
- 2:55Speaker 3: We have the possibility of getting muscles that can atrophy
- 2:58Speaker 3: because of the progester going down. We have the ability
- 3:02Speaker 3: of the vaginal tissues to become dry and thin, and
- 3:05Speaker 3: now it's painful to have intercourse. There can be prolapsed uteruses,
- 3:09Speaker 3: prolapsed bladder anus, all kinds of things that can go
- 3:13Speaker 3: with it, and these tend to run right along with
- 3:16Speaker 3: thinning skin. And so thinning skin is often a vitamin
- 3:21Speaker 3: C issue, especially in menopausal women, but it's also an
- 3:25Speaker 3: estrogen issue. And so as we look at the estrogen
- 3:30Speaker 3: content in a woman's body, if we have some to
- 3:34Speaker 3: put it nicely, oedipose tissue and you're thinking, well, what's
- 3:37Speaker 3: oedipose tissue? To put it not nicely fat on the body,
- 3:42Speaker 3: And so edipose tissue is fat. That's what it means.
- 3:45Speaker 3: It's the Latin term that means fat. So we say
- 3:48Speaker 3: it kindly like you have a bit of oediposed tissue Okay,
- 3:52Speaker 3: so you're fat. You've got some fat on your body. Well,
- 3:55Speaker 3: fat cells are supposed to be on a woman's body
- 3:57Speaker 3: because of what they do. But those fat cells also
- 4:00Speaker 3: produce estrogen. Now that would be okay if we lived
- 4:04Speaker 3: in an environment where the paint on our walls, the
- 4:08Speaker 3: carpet on the floor, the veneers that are on our flooring,
- 4:12Speaker 3: the vinyls that are in our cars, perhaps on furniture,
- 4:17Speaker 3: the computer systems, the plastics that are all around us,
- 4:20Speaker 3: plastic silverware, plastic utensils, plastic cups. I mean, the list
- 4:25Speaker 3: just goes on about where plastics are in our life.
- 4:28Speaker 3: And those plastics tend to mimic estrogenic type compounds. And
- 4:33Speaker 3: so if you look around, you're like, Yeah, I got
- 4:35Speaker 3: paint all over my walls, I've got dyes in my clothing.
- 4:38Speaker 3: I've got shoes that are plastic. I've got carpet all
- 4:41Speaker 3: over that who knows where it is, and it smells funky.
- 4:44Speaker 3: And I've got computer systems and TVs and phones and
- 4:47Speaker 3: laptops and blah blah blah all around me. And all
- 4:50Speaker 3: these things are probably outgassing estrogenic type compounds. We call
- 4:55Speaker 3: them zeno hormones, but ultimately they are pretty much estrogenic
- 4:59Speaker 3: in nature. Estrogens are tough on the body because they're
- 5:01Speaker 3: seen as a toxin, and so estrogens all around us
- 5:05Speaker 3: tend to muddy the waters of the liver. And the
- 5:07Speaker 3: liver is supposed to detox our body. But when it cannot,
- 5:11Speaker 3: it now is under the gun, and now it goes
- 5:13Speaker 3: downhill because we may not be eating enough good foods
- 5:17Speaker 3: to replenish the liver's abilities to detox. And so we
- 5:20Speaker 3: can say that it's an adrenal, thyroid, hypothalamus, pituitary ovarian problem,
- 5:32Speaker 3: but it goes more beyond that. It's part of our
- 5:36Speaker 3: environmental problem. It's part of our liver problem. It's part
- 5:39Speaker 3: of the amount of stress that you may be under
- 5:41Speaker 3: because you're now imbalancing your entire hormonal picture by being
- 5:46Speaker 3: under stress, or at least not having a good idea
- 5:49Speaker 3: of how to handle mental stress. And now you've gone
- 5:52Speaker 3: through menopause and now you realize, okay, it can no
- 5:55Speaker 3: longer reproduce. Maybe there's thoughts and emotions that go with
- 5:59Speaker 3: that about your value and importance in life in general.
- 6:03Speaker 3: And I'm going to assure you that you are still
- 6:05Speaker 3: vital to the whole always, no matter if you can
- 6:08Speaker 3: produce children or not. But if those thoughts are running,
- 6:11Speaker 3: those are yet more fodder for you to work on
- 6:15Speaker 3: and figure out. How do I give up and give
- 6:18Speaker 3: away all this stress and not keep taking it on,
- 6:21Speaker 3: which just disrupts my hormones, which makes things tougher. Now,
- 6:24Speaker 3: let's throw blood sugar dysregulation on it. And we just
- 6:28Speaker 3: got a match made in heaven for hot flashes. And
- 6:31Speaker 3: so one of those conditions that I find relatively simple
- 6:36Speaker 3: to have good, effective, oh success, is hot flashes. Now,
- 6:43Speaker 3: when I work on the hypothalamus with women and I
- 6:46Speaker 3: tell them that this is probably going to cut your
- 6:50Speaker 3: hot flashes by quite some amount. It's eighty five to
- 6:54Speaker 3: ninety five percent of the women come in that I
- 6:55Speaker 3: put hypothalamus in their body and they start really balancing
- 6:59Speaker 3: their hormones that they feel actually one heck of a
- 7:02Speaker 3: lot better and which is awesome. And I tell them,
- 7:05Speaker 3: I said, if you want to go the full distance,
- 7:07Speaker 3: you're going to want to decrease all forms of sugar
- 7:11Speaker 3: and all forms of bread, pasta, crackers, chips, carbs in
- 7:18Speaker 3: every way, shape and form. And you're gonna want to
- 7:20Speaker 3: watch how much you know, coffee you're doing, how much
- 7:25Speaker 3: chocolate you're doing, it just goes with it. And so
- 7:29Speaker 3: if we're able to control those things, I've had women
- 7:32Speaker 3: that have literally had no hot flashes, and I tell them,
- 7:35Speaker 3: I said, now I want you to test it. Go
- 7:37Speaker 3: out and eat your favorite carb meal, and they literally
- 7:41Speaker 3: will come back and tell me, man or you write
- 7:44Speaker 3: within ten minutes after that meal, I had a hot
- 7:46Speaker 3: flash and they're dismayed. They're like, can can I not
- 7:51Speaker 3: do any of that? Do I have to really give
- 7:54Speaker 3: up all carbs? I said, well, not necessarily, but it
- 7:58Speaker 3: probably means that we've got a gut that's not so good.
- 8:01Speaker 3: And so if we can improve your gut digestion and
- 8:04Speaker 3: how you process sugars a bit better, and maybe even
- 8:07Speaker 3: do a little bit of support with your pancreas, there's
- 8:11Speaker 3: a big possibility that we might be able to do
- 8:14Speaker 3: some carbs on occasion without the payment of a hot flash.
- 8:18Speaker 3: So hot flashes are going to be mostly hormonal. But
- 8:21Speaker 3: I've had women that get adjusted and all of a sudden, they, hey,
- 8:25Speaker 3: my hot flashes are way better. Getting adjusted. Great, The
- 8:28Speaker 3: adjustment is actually resetting your hormone pattern, but it's also
- 8:31Speaker 3: helping you dissipate stress and improving blood flow to your brain,
- 8:35Speaker 3: which is then also saying, hey, I don't have to
- 8:36Speaker 3: worry about this crap as much. And so there are
- 8:39Speaker 3: many things that the chiropractic adjustment can do for hormones.
- 8:43Speaker 3: So those are some of the other things you can
- 8:44Speaker 3: work on when it comes to handling stress and now
- 8:46Speaker 3: helping hot flashes. So what do we do with night sweats? Now,
- 8:51Speaker 3: night sweats, You'll have a lot of practitioners say that
- 8:54Speaker 3: that's mostly a hormonal problem too. I don't necessarily find
- 9:00Speaker 3: that to be the case. And so when it comes
- 9:03Speaker 3: to night sweats, that means like waking up one one, two,
- 9:07Speaker 3: two thirty at night and you are just soaked and
- 9:10Speaker 3: you're like, I can't believe I have to like change
- 9:13Speaker 3: my sheets, this is ridiculous, Or you sleep on a
- 9:16Speaker 3: towel because it gets so bad. That is almost always
- 9:20Speaker 3: liver involvement. Now, is the liver supposed to cleanse out hormones. Yes,
- 9:26Speaker 3: that's its job. So when we have an overabundance of
- 9:30Speaker 3: estrogens or progesterone or testosterone or whatever it is that
- 9:35Speaker 3: the body activates, the liver's job is to pull all
- 9:38Speaker 3: that out, and so if the liver's not performing well,
- 9:42Speaker 3: sometimes it will try to help by sweating it out. Hey,
- 9:47Speaker 3: I can push these toxins and things through the skin
- 9:50Speaker 3: rather than you know, trying to go through my liver
- 9:54Speaker 3: and my gut because they're so bad. Now, if you're
- 9:56Speaker 3: out there using a moisturizing lotion at night and you
- 9:59Speaker 3: notice hot flashes or rather night sweats, I would say,
- 10:03Speaker 3: let's try to switch your you know, softening lotions, moisturizers,
- 10:11Speaker 3: things like that. Let's switch those out for something like
- 10:14Speaker 3: a coconut oil. Because most moisturizing or lotions that save
- 10:18Speaker 3: for dry cracked skin, they're going to have estrogen in them,
- 10:22Speaker 3: believe it or not. And so we want to start
- 10:24Speaker 3: removing those sources of estrogens everywhere we can. We can't,
- 10:28Speaker 3: let's say, strip all the paint off our walls, but
- 10:31Speaker 3: we can at least start removing those things. If you're
- 10:35Speaker 3: on biodentical hormones and you're using them, we may want
- 10:39Speaker 3: to revamp what it is you're doing. Please don't stop
- 10:42Speaker 3: right away from using something that's really potent like that.
- 10:46Speaker 3: If you're doing some type of gel, get with a
- 10:49Speaker 3: practitioner like myself and figure out how to detoxify yourself
- 10:52Speaker 3: and remove those things from your lifestyle. But for those
- 10:56Speaker 3: doing lotions, it's really easy just to stop and say, hey,
- 10:59Speaker 3: I'm going to use coconut oil. I'm going to do
- 11:01Speaker 3: something that that least is going to somewhat protect the skin,
- 11:04Speaker 3: and I'm going to, you know, do the best that
- 11:07Speaker 3: I can with my skin and how dry it is. Now,
- 11:10Speaker 3: if you've picked up some other podcasts, the first thing
- 11:13Speaker 3: we're going to say for dry skin is calcium. Calcium
- 11:16Speaker 3: is what keeps the scaffolding in your cells the way
- 11:19Speaker 3: they should be, so that your cells stay the shape
- 11:22Speaker 3: they should and keep the amount of water in them.
- 11:26Speaker 3: So that's one aspect. Good digestion. It's kind of coming
- 11:30Speaker 3: back to digestion and blood sugar. The better your digestion is,
- 11:33Speaker 3: the better the protein, the better the mineral absorption, and
- 11:37Speaker 3: the better the hydration of your body. So we don't
- 11:40Speaker 3: just want to run out willy nilly and start using
- 11:42Speaker 3: lotions because we have dry skin. We really want to
- 11:45Speaker 3: get to the foundation of why you have it in
- 11:47Speaker 3: the first place. Well, I wash my hands and you know,
- 11:51Speaker 3: soap all day long. Okay, Well, I have clients that
- 11:55Speaker 3: do that too, that don't have that dry skin. And
- 11:57Speaker 3: I've had clients that have immense dry skin that do
- 12:01Speaker 3: those kinds of cleaning jobs. And as I've taken care
- 12:04Speaker 3: of them and started boosting their calcium and working on
- 12:06Speaker 3: their thyroid in their minerals, their hands are one hundred
- 12:10Speaker 3: times better and so they see the truth of when
- 12:14Speaker 3: they start working internally how their body performs on the outside.
- 12:18Speaker 3: So with that in mind, Night Sweats, we want to
- 12:22Speaker 3: work on liver. What's our favorite way to work on
- 12:24Speaker 3: liver besides just cleaning up our environment and removing chemicals
- 12:28Speaker 3: from our environment, beats and beet greens. So that's one
- 12:32Speaker 3: of the simplest ways to just continuously daily working on
- 12:37Speaker 3: your liver. Cruciferous vegetables will do it too. That's the
- 12:41Speaker 3: family of broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, it's all
- 12:46Speaker 3: those cruciferous vegetables will also be very helpful in helping
- 12:50Speaker 3: the liver clean globe. Artichoke or just simply artichokes that
- 12:54Speaker 3: you would get from the store are excellent too. If
- 12:57Speaker 3: you don't spray around your yard any chemicals and you
- 12:59Speaker 3: have weeds as I've said before, bitter herbs like the
- 13:04Speaker 3: leaves off of a dandelion plant, you can just walk
- 13:06Speaker 3: around and eat them, excellent for liver and detox. You
- 13:10Speaker 3: can get the roots of dandelions too, and then wash
- 13:14Speaker 3: them off, dry them and make tea or take them.
- 13:16Speaker 3: It's okay to do that too. So that's all a
- 13:19Speaker 3: possibility of just simple things that you can do for
- 13:22Speaker 3: your liver. Now, are there herbs that you could do
- 13:25Speaker 3: that's a little better, yes, Could you eat liver, yes,
- 13:28Speaker 3: that would be even better. And so there's all kinds
- 13:30Speaker 3: of sky's kind of limit when it comes to liver repairing.
- 13:33Speaker 3: The liver repairs very well, it's just fairly slow. So
- 13:38Speaker 3: good liver healing, taking care of yourself, doing very little alcohol,
- 13:42Speaker 3: bad fats, rancid fats, trans fats, eating fresh foods, fresh meals,
- 13:48Speaker 3: things that you cook yourself. Taking care of your liver
- 13:50Speaker 3: that way is by all means the most important thing
- 13:53Speaker 3: you can do while rebuilding your liver. But if you're
- 13:55Speaker 3: going to continue to have a fair amount of alcohol,
- 13:57Speaker 3: if you're going to continue to eat sugar, if you're
- 13:59Speaker 3: going to con you to, you know, drink just regular
- 14:04Speaker 3: run of the mill coffee. If you're going to eat
- 14:06Speaker 3: crappy fats in terms of potato chips and bread that
- 14:10Speaker 3: you're gonna find in a store, I mean, I'm not
- 14:14Speaker 3: sure why you're listening to this, because it's probably not
- 14:16Speaker 3: going to go very well with you. Those fats are
- 14:19Speaker 3: going to be huge, huge stumbling blocks in front of you.
- 14:23Speaker 3: And so I'm just trying to give you every edge
- 14:25Speaker 3: to get well as fast as you can and not
- 14:27Speaker 3: have hot flashes and night sweats as long as humanly possible.
- 14:31Speaker 3: And so working on those those aspects of your diet
- 14:34Speaker 3: becomes incredibly important. Now, want to finish up on thin skin.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Thin skin is partly a job of the adrenals. Now
- 14:43Speaker 3: bear with me here, because your adrenals are little glands
- 14:46Speaker 3: that sit on top of your kidneys, and they want
- 14:49Speaker 3: a lot of vitamin C and the core of the
- 14:52Speaker 3: vitamin C complex is what they want the most. They
- 14:54Speaker 3: want copper. And so most stores that sell vitamin C
- 14:59Speaker 3: products are just selling ascorbic acid that is not vitamin C.
- 15:04Speaker 3: That is part of the vitamin C you know complex,
- 15:08Speaker 3: but it is way less than one percent of the
- 15:11Speaker 3: vitamin C complex. The vitamin C complex is over five
- 15:15Speaker 3: hundred phytonutrients that make up the entire complex, and we
- 15:19Speaker 3: would prefer that you get it from a natural source.
- 15:22Speaker 3: I don't know of any company that has ever taken
- 15:25Speaker 3: on the task of synthesizing all five hundred components of
- 15:30Speaker 3: the vitamin C complex and putting in at a pill.
- 15:32Speaker 3: It would be astronomically expensive to do so, and yet
- 15:36Speaker 3: nature does it effortlessly. So we want vitamin C coming
- 15:40Speaker 3: from some natural source. That is ideal. And when you
- 15:44Speaker 3: get that copper, the adrenal glands now give or rather
- 15:49Speaker 3: use that copper along with other trace minerals like zinc
- 15:53Speaker 3: and magnesium and boron and all these different things to
- 15:58Speaker 3: make hormones, These hormones that you need in your body
- 16:04Speaker 3: that are no longer being produced by your ovaries. The
- 16:07Speaker 3: adrenals are now taking up the slack. So before you
- 16:10Speaker 3: stop cycling, your ovaries would produce most of your progesterone.
- 16:14Speaker 3: And your progesterone is your healing hormone, like a man's testosterone.
- 16:19Speaker 3: And so that wonderful progesterone actually helps your skin, helps
- 16:24Speaker 3: it keep it fresh and not thinning. But the vitamin
- 16:29Speaker 3: C also creates a vascular component and helps the skin
- 16:32Speaker 3: cells so that they stay good too, So that copper
- 16:36Speaker 3: does way more than just help your adrenals. Had a
- 16:40Speaker 3: client today asked me should I be drinking water out
- 16:42Speaker 3: of a copper cup? And I said, please do not
- 16:45Speaker 3: do that. That is a metallic form of copper, and
- 16:48Speaker 3: that is not natural. We rely on microbes or bacteria
- 16:53Speaker 3: or funguses in the soil that literally pull electrons off
- 16:57Speaker 3: of minerals like copper and make it go from an
- 17:01Speaker 3: inert metal to an organic, a live ion that we
- 17:06Speaker 3: can then put into a plant that we then eat
- 17:09Speaker 3: and then now put in our body and now run
- 17:11Speaker 3: enzymatic processes that we so desperately use that copper for.
- 17:15Speaker 3: So it is very different from a metallic form of
- 17:18Speaker 3: something to an organic form of something. So do we
- 17:21Speaker 3: need some tin in the body, yes, Do we need
- 17:24Speaker 3: some copper in the body, yes? Do we need some
- 17:27Speaker 3: silver in the body.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Yes?
- 17:28Speaker 3: We need these things, but not in their metallic form.
- 17:31Speaker 3: We need them in their correct organic form. And that's
- 17:34Speaker 3: why we depend on microbes in our soil. We don't
- 17:38Speaker 3: want dead soil. We need soil taken care of and
- 17:41Speaker 3: not sprayed with tons of pesticides and other garbage. So
- 17:44Speaker 3: that's just kind of some understanding of how important really
- 17:47Speaker 3: from the ground up, all of this really is. So
- 17:51Speaker 3: as we keep your adrenals healthy and you manage stress better,
- 17:55Speaker 3: your skin beat seems to be better. But also you're
- 17:57Speaker 3: producing enough progesterone that now you're able to help control
- 18:02Speaker 3: and regulate hormones even better and feel amazing. You'll protect
- 18:06Speaker 3: your muscle quality, You'll protect your brain, your memory, your
- 18:10Speaker 3: blood sugar management. There's a lot of things that are
- 18:13Speaker 3: adrenals do for us postmenopausal. So for most of you
- 18:17Speaker 3: women out there, if you've been under a high stress
- 18:19Speaker 3: situation most of your life, your adrenals are likely tanked.
- 18:22Speaker 3: And you probably already know that because somebody's probably said,
- 18:25Speaker 3: I think you have a dreanal fatigue, and you're like, yeah,
- 18:27Speaker 3: I think I do. I totally am tanked at two
- 18:30Speaker 3: to three o'clock in the afternoon. I can't hardly even
- 18:32Speaker 3: stay awake. I have to take a nap or I
- 18:34Speaker 3: need coffee to just keep going. And so now I've
- 18:37Speaker 3: just learned to do other stimulants so that I don't
- 18:39Speaker 3: feel that fatigue. I don't sleep well, I don't my
- 18:42Speaker 3: skin is no longer good. I just don't feel right,
- 18:44Speaker 3: I'm gaining weight, I'm now having some hot flashes. This
- 18:49Speaker 3: is all kind of together, and so we can't just
- 18:52Speaker 3: you know, dissect out one condition and say, hey, this
- 18:56Speaker 3: is the problem. It's a multifaceted, you know thing that
- 19:00Speaker 3: we're working on. So is it awesome to basically have
- 19:05Speaker 3: a diet that's more holistic. Yes. Is it okay to
- 19:08Speaker 3: have fish and chicken and turkey, yes. Is it okay
- 19:12Speaker 3: to have red meat, yes, if if there's a big
- 19:15Speaker 3: if there, if it's pastured. So when a cow eats
- 19:21Speaker 3: grass and doesn't eat grain, it actually has in its
- 19:26Speaker 3: fat good Omega three fats. So grass fed cows actually
- 19:31Speaker 3: taste a little gamey, and that's that good fat that
- 19:34Speaker 3: we're looking for. And the butter from them and the
- 19:36Speaker 3: milk from them is amazing, and it's actually really nutrient
- 19:40Speaker 3: dense food that we so desperately need rather than a
- 19:44Speaker 3: soy bean or corn fed cow. That all we're doing
- 19:49Speaker 3: is now eating the soy and corn because we are
- 19:52Speaker 3: eating them and they are what they eat, and so
- 19:55Speaker 3: we're just getting more and more garbage in our body
- 19:57Speaker 3: instead of going after pastured animals that are a little
- 20:00Speaker 3: bit more expensive, but are one hundred five hundred, one
- 20:04Speaker 3: thousand times better than the run of the mill crap
- 20:07Speaker 3: that we're going to get in the store. So it
- 20:10Speaker 3: just you know, something to be be watchful of. Now
- 20:13Speaker 3: there's people out there that are going to say, hey,
- 20:15Speaker 3: you need to do liver cleansing. Well, I'm not big
- 20:17Speaker 3: on that until we get your digestive system running. So
- 20:20Speaker 3: shouldn't we start trying to wean off high caffeine foods,
- 20:24Speaker 3: poor quality foods and fats. Yes, we should. Once you
- 20:28Speaker 3: feel like, hey, my digestion seems better, my bowels seem better,
- 20:32Speaker 3: I feel like I'm eliminating better. I've added some keefer
- 20:34Speaker 3: into my life. I've added some Rappelsider vinegar into my life.
- 20:38Speaker 3: I feel like my gut is really radically changed. Great,
- 20:41Speaker 3: let's start going through some liver cleansing. This might take
- 20:45Speaker 3: six weeks to get your bowels really on track. But
- 20:48Speaker 3: if you're having that much trouble and feeling bloated constantly
- 20:51Speaker 3: and feel like you have IBS or whatever disease they
- 20:54Speaker 3: want to label, then please get in contact with somebody
- 20:57Speaker 3: like myself so that you can start coming at this
- 21:01Speaker 3: from the inside out and really getting this body back
- 21:04Speaker 3: on track, so that when you do some liver cleansing,
- 21:06Speaker 3: when you do some healing, when you do some cleaning
- 21:09Speaker 3: out of hormones out of the body to try to
- 21:11Speaker 3: get rid of hot flashes and night sweats, that you're
- 21:13Speaker 3: actually successful at it don't feel crappier. So this is
- 21:17Speaker 3: kind of stuff that we want to do as we go.
- 21:20Speaker 3: And so once you feel good enough to do a
- 21:21Speaker 3: little exercising, great, not a lot, a little bit, let's
- 21:24Speaker 3: start slow. You might do some relaxation and maybe some
- 21:28Speaker 3: meditation or some type of something that gets you out
- 21:32Speaker 3: of your head so that your brain can You can
- 21:36Speaker 3: start figuring how to turn off your brain and turning
- 21:38Speaker 3: off that stress mechanism and letting other people worry about
- 21:41Speaker 3: stuff instead of you doing it, and just realizing that
- 21:44Speaker 3: you could be at peace more and more. You might
- 21:48Speaker 3: even find some some herbs and things that people will recommend,
- 21:51Speaker 3: like milk thistles, very liver protective. But some people are
- 21:55Speaker 3: going to go at it with licorice. But licorice can
- 21:57Speaker 3: cause blood pressure issues, and so do make sure you
- 22:00Speaker 3: know what your blood pressure is and if you have
- 22:02Speaker 3: a sensitivity to it, don't do it. Licorice is very
- 22:06Speaker 3: good about helping cortisol and managing cortisol. So is Romania
- 22:10Speaker 3: as a herb, and so they're very excellent. But they
- 22:13Speaker 3: can you know, I should say licorice mostly in Romania.
- 22:16Speaker 3: I don't know of any kind of effects that I've
- 22:18Speaker 3: ever seen with using that herb, but I've got some
- 22:21Speaker 3: sensitive patients that cannot take licorice. Now, other things that
- 22:24Speaker 3: would be wise something like a black currencyed oil or
- 22:28Speaker 3: an evening primrose that's gla oil, flaxed oil is ala oil.
- 22:32Speaker 3: They can be converted to each other as well as
- 22:35Speaker 3: to conjucated little nic acid. So those are all great
- 22:38Speaker 3: omega three fats that are very helpful for hormone production. Now,
- 22:44Speaker 3: could you use some trace minerals? Yeah, some black strap
- 22:46Speaker 3: molasses might be really nice, or some nutritional yeast, or
- 22:49Speaker 3: eating more eggs or eating liver. All those will have
- 22:51Speaker 3: a fairly good complement of trace minerals, which I highly recommend. Now,
- 22:56Speaker 3: vitamin C is a little bit different animal. Please contact me.
- 22:59Speaker 3: I'll tell you what vitamin C product I use. And
- 23:02Speaker 3: so they're not all equal for sure, but getting more
- 23:06Speaker 3: greens in your diet would be an excellent source of
- 23:09Speaker 3: not only vitamin C, but calcium two, so super super helpful. Next, now,
- 23:17Speaker 3: last thing I want to talk about is adrenals themselves.
- 23:20Speaker 3: You can take desicated adrenal, but we only do that
- 23:24Speaker 3: for a very short period of time, and we only
- 23:26Speaker 3: do that for folks that are in catastrophic deficit. I mean,
- 23:30Speaker 3: they're a tanked wreck. And if you're like, nah, I'm
- 23:34Speaker 3: not that bad, Okay, I really don't want you doing
- 23:37Speaker 3: desiccated adrenal if we can help it. Some products are
- 23:41Speaker 3: not very potent and so you kind of get what
- 23:44Speaker 3: you pay for. But doing a full complement of organs
- 23:49Speaker 3: from a cow I've seen New Zealand products is not
- 23:52Speaker 3: a bad place to begin. But the adrenals themselves, again,
- 23:55Speaker 3: the trace minerals will help a lot. And doing lots
- 23:58Speaker 3: of greens to find the high vitamin C copper content foods,
- 24:03Speaker 3: you'll find your adrenals begin to recover. But also, I'm
- 24:07Speaker 3: going to plug this is you've really got to get
- 24:09Speaker 3: out of your head. We want you to be radically
- 24:12Speaker 3: changed and a loving, caring, calm, peaceful, happy individual. That
- 24:19Speaker 3: is my greatest hope for all of you, that you
- 24:21Speaker 3: would just be that and be healthy and feel like
- 24:25Speaker 3: doing things and be able to do things without paying
- 24:27Speaker 3: for it. And so those are some ideas that as
- 24:30Speaker 3: we go we can certainly help with. And again, if
- 24:33Speaker 3: you wish, I'm happy to have you give our office
- 24:36Speaker 3: a call and let's have a conversation. It's easy to do.
- 24:39Speaker 3: So I hope this was helpful, this whole series on
- 24:42Speaker 3: female conditions. Please go back and check them out. I
- 24:44Speaker 3: believe we ended up doing about fifteen of them, so
- 24:47Speaker 3: they're all on there as podcasts. And again I cannot
- 24:52Speaker 3: say this enough. Your body knows what to do given
- 24:55Speaker 3: the right material. It really really knows how to work itself.
- 24:59Speaker 3: And therefore that is why this statement is there is
- 25:03Speaker 3: way more right with you than there is wrong with you.
- 25:06Speaker 3: And I'm doctor
- 25:07Speaker 2: Troy Listener, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure,
- 25:12Speaker 2: or prevent disease.
