  Speaker 1: back to the episode.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. It is something that
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I've said frequently in it's good repeat it from time
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: to time so that it's kind of in our head.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: When it comes to women's cycles, as you take a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: look at your cycle overall, it is a good indication
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: of how healthy your body is. So if you're having
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: issues with your female cycle, any part of it, we
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: consider the period or the seven days or five to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: seven days that a woman has her menstrual cycle as
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: her cycle, that is a bit of a misnomer. It's
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: really the whole twenty eight days. So let's say a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: day fourteen of ovulation, you're actually getting pains and here
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: moody or irritable. That's actually a sign or symptom that
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be there. If you feel really good at day
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, twenty two, and then on day twenty five,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight, maybe even earlier, you
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: feel quite bad or emotional or craving things. This is
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: giving you an overall good look at the health of
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: your body, how is it doing? And breast tenderness during
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a or during your menstrual cycle is one of those
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: signs and symptoms that is leading us to other things.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Now we would say, well, okay, makes sense that it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: liver congestion and so the blood's not clean and therefore
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: breast tenderness is a liver problem. Well, yes, we'd be
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: right most of the time in saying that, But could
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: not the gut be a mess like what they would
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: call dysbiosis where we don't have good healthy gut flora
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: or bacteria in our gut and therefore the liver is
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: congested because it cannot detox. Yes. Could it be a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: digestive problem because we don't have the correct acidity and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: now the liver can't detox as well as it could
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: or should, and so it's kind of a stomach problem. Yes.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Could we have an adrenal issue that's been long standing
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and now it's depleted the thyroid and now we have
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: both systems dysfunctional and we now have breast tenderness shaded
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: with cycle. And again, if the thyroid isn't functioning because
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it's running out of iodine, it needing iodine is equally
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: as important as the breast tissue needing iodine. And so
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: those two tissues, the thyroid and the breast tissue, concentrate iodine.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So those are all ideas as we go through this
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: process of trying to figure out is the breast tenderness
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: coming from the gut, is it coming from the liver,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: is it coming from the endocrine system? And of course
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: we're going to want to test certain things to see
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: how that is doing and also support those tissues as needed.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So how do we know, well, if we suspect liver
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: as the primary concern, and in our day and age,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that's probably not far off. We would go and count
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: down to the sixth intercostal space and see if it's tender.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Now you might be thinking, I have no idea what
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you're talking about. What an intercostal is. So right under
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: your collar bone, right at the bottom of your neck,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: kind of on either side of the upper chest, you're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: going to feel your collarbones. Underneath the collarbone is the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: first rib, and you're going to have a little space
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: right next to your sternum, not in the center, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: just off to the right, right under your collarbone where
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: it meets your sternum, and that little space is the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: first and so we feel a bump right below it,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: which is the second rib, and then an indent, which
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is the next intercostal space, or the second one. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: we're going to continue to count down like that until
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: we get to the number six, which you're going to
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: find a little bit off to the side and probably
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: just under some breast tissue on that right side. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: if you push in there and it's tender, well that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: that's a liver point. So the next spot that we're
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: going to look at to kind of confirm is it
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: kind of liver is We would also look at the
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: third rib. So now we're going to go to that
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: first space right under the clavicle like we did on
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that right side, and we're going to go to that bump,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that raised portion right underneath that first indent. That's the
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: second rib. And we're going to go to the endent
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: that second intercostal space, and the next bump is the
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: third rib. We're going to travel out towards the right
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: breast or the armpit, and when you get to maybe
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: about an inch or two away, maybe as much as
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: three inches, you might feel a tender spot right on
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the rib. And that is also a liver point. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: you're like, hey, both of those are tenderness. Okay, well
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: let's go for the third spot. That might see how
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: severe it is underneath your ribcage on the right. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: if you're on the side wall of your chest and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you drop down and find that you kind of go
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: into soft flesh. You're not on ribs anymore, and you
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: feel underneath there and it's tender as well. Well, that's
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the liver itself, because it's kind of peaking under there
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: just a little bit. So if you have all three
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: points tender, it's probably likely. Now the next point would
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: be to look at a blood test on a comprehensive
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: metabolic panel and look for an ALT that L and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the ALT we'll just say stand for liver even though
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it doesn't. We'll just consider it because there's an AST
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and an ALT on your comprehensive metabolic panel blood test,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and they're fairly frequently done. In fact, they're one of
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the most common blood tests done, is that comprehensive metabolic panel.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: So when you look at that ALT, though we'll have
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: a different name, it will still carry that ALT with it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: We're looking for something right around that lower to mid twenties,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: so somewhere between twenty and twenty four would be awesome.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: And there are a lot of different ideas about this
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: particular liver test, but as a rule of thumb, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: old old labs would go from zero to fifty on
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: this particular maybe forty five, and Swee'd say, well, right
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: in the middle is a good rule of thumb to
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: say it's probably good liver function. Now the labs have
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: actually tightened that ALT test to usually seven or eight
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: to about Sometimes I've seen them as low as thirty eight,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: but usually they're in the low forties, and so we
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: don't want we don't want any liver enzymes that would
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: be a zero, and that would be bad. The lower
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: your liver enzymes, the more congested your liver is, meaning
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: it's having trouble flowing bile, detoxifying all kinds of things.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And I've seen them as low as seven. I've never
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: seen under a seven on an alt, but it's frequently
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: around on eleven, twelve thirteen. That is liver congestion. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: so we have a liver that's not functioning, or we
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: have a gut that is unable to detoxify because it
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: cannot accept what the liver is giving it. So if
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, I tend to lean towards some digestive complaints.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: My bowels will be fast or slow. I have indigestion
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: at times, especially after eating. Sometimes my stomach's not very good.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm bloated. I feel like I can't
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: handle certain foods, so now I avoid them. Yeah, you
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: have dys biosis or a gut that's not happy. Now
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is it possible to have both a gut that's not
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: happy and a liver that's dysfunctional, absolutely, and eventually if
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the liver can't detoxify, now we have hormones that are
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: being overwhelmed in the system, and now we have hormone dysregulation.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: So it just is kind of this domino effect in
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the body. And as we start getting a gut, stomach
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and liver doing its job well, we may find that, hey,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I feel tremendous and now my breasts aren't tender anymore.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Then that was a good indication for you that that
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: was the biggest issue the problem. But if you're under
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: tons of stress and have other chemical issues, meaning let's
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: say you're addicted to coffee, or you're a vapor or
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: a smoker, or you have other recreational drugs that you do,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: or your diet is not very good and you spend
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: most of your days eating at fast food restaurants, then
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: it is likely to assume that you have a high
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: degree of toxicity in your body. And we don't just
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: have a liver gut problem. We probably have a legitimate
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: hormonal problem too. So the one organ or gland that
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: directly affects the breast tissue is the adrenals. What do
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the adrenal glands do for us while they sit on
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the kidneys, on top of the kidneys, and they actually
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: look like brain tissue. So when they note the type
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of tissue that the adrenals are, they most resemble brain tissue.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: The adrenals are supposed to handle all of our stress,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: so they produce adrenaline when we're under a fight or
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: flight situation. They also produce other things that make us relaxed.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And for women that are going through menopause, they take
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: over progesterone production, which makes you healthy, lose weight, stay fit,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: keep muscle tone, protect your brain, your memory. That is
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the adrenals. That's what they do. And they need lots
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of trace minerals, lots of copper, lots of zinc, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: so most people are lacking those things in droves. And therefore,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: now we can have breast tenderness that's complicated by weak
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: adrenal function. When the adrenals are weak long enough, now
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: we will have the thyroid trying to help but unable
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to and now it goes south as well. So a
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: quite advanced problem with breast tenderness. If it's been long ongoing,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you'll have a multiple vectors or things that you're going
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to have to be working on. But primary for sure
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: is the gut and liver function. So what would we
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: do for a gut and liver function? Well, things like
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: keifer would be an excellent thing. I can't do milk well,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: chances are you probably can do keefer because the keefer,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: if done well, digests all the lactose in the milk
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: and you shouldn't have any problem with it. But if
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: your gut is bad enough, you may not be able
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to do keefer. So you might do a different milk
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: keeper instead of cow milk, like a goat milk keefer.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: You might have to do a nut keefer like macadamia
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: nut keefer or almond nut keefer. You know, there's different
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: things out there, so there are plant based key as well.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I've even seen water based keifers, but I haven't researched
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: them enough to speak coherently on them. But I hear
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: that there's some thring things out there that you could
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: do differently, So keifers kind of When I think, could
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: you do a probiotic, I suppose you could, But I
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: don't like probiotics per se, even though I do carry them,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and I tell my clients I'm not interested in giving
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: you this long term, I would rather you got it
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: from your diet, because giving you a probiotic with six
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: or eight or ten bacterial strains is very different than
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: eating good sauer kraut that you would make yourself that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: has over two hundred strains of different bacteria. So you
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: be the judge. You want six or seven or eight strains,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you want over two hundred, I think I'm going for
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the two hundred. For years and years and centuries we
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: ate fermented foods and our guts were really good, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: not in our day and age, So you be the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: judge of that. Next is we would do some things
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: that not only would help purify the colon, but it
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: kind of helped perhaps the stomach do better as well.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And for this Spanish black radish is excellent as a
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: sulfur containing component. Any kind of radishes would be good,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and that protects the gut lining and begins to help
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: it detoxify. As we use things like the sulfur in radishes,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: even horse radish, you'll find that your gut lining will
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: be more and more protected and that you'll be able
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: to detoxify better. One of the things that is excellent
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: at thinning the bile channels in the breast tissue. Is
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a very thin oil, and you can use something like
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: a gla like an evening primrose or a black currency oil.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: But what would be even better is ala oil, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: that is where real cow butter is, or flaxied oil.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: But it's difficult to get good flaxied oil. It is
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: often rancid and not so great. But flaxied oil is
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: the thinnest oil and does a marvelous job at cleaning
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: up the lymphatic channels running through the tissue. Now, other
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: things that will help beats. You know, if it's a
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: podcast and it's on nutrition, I'm probably going to talk
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: about beats, and so beats are excellent. Do not throw
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the tops out. They're very, very helpful. You can do
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: direct support for endocrine glands. And if your stomach is problematic,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: you maybe want to be supporting your pancreas as well.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: And if you're a bit concerned about how to do
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that and you think that maybe a possibility like maybe
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a blood sugar issues already, please contact me directly. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: would love to tell you how to do that. Now.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Vitamin C is never a bad thing to do in
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a situation like this especially toxicity wise, and especially for
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the liver. So when we go back to that blood
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: test of that ALT that I talked about, when it's
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: low numbers, you have congested liver. But what if your
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: ALT is like thirty three or thirty eight or fifty
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: or one hundred, you have a good indication that an
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: infection is running in your liver and it needs lots
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: of vitamin A and lots of vitamin C naturally not
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: synthetic garbage. And so do be cautious when you're buying
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: any kind of vitamin C product just off the shelf
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of some store that you don't know, it probably is
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: synthetic garbage. So that's a possibility. Now would it be
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Would I be wrong to do a full multiglandular with
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: a woman that includes ovarian support and pituitary support, No,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: that would be high in order to do and last
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: thing to detoxify the liver. Yes, we're going to do beats,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: but cruciferus vegetables go a long way in detoxification, especially
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: phase two detoxification. So cruciferus vegetables, if that's a new
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: term for you, that's kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, things
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: of that nature. Now, they say, if you overdo that,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: it's going to dampen your thyroid. Well, I have a
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: sneaking suspicion that it doesn't technically dampen your thyroid, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: because it may push the liver into a detoxification phase,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: it may say, hey, liver, it needs you to slow
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: down on your other processes and focus on detox And
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: when the thyroid depends on liver function to activate sixty
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: percent of its hormones, if the liver goes into kind
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: of a hey I need to repair, I'm going to
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: take a little break here on my other processes, we
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: might find a symptom of dampened thyroid effectiveness. Even though
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: it may not necessarily be the thyroid, it may legitimately
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: coming from the liver. So some ideas, now, how would
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: we ramp up thyroid function by doing things like iodine?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And you're gonna have a lot of medical doctors out
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: there freak out that I said that you can tell
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: people to do that, They're just going to take tons
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: of iodine and it's really bad. Well, I will tell
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: you that back in the eighteen sixties, I believe it
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: was a gentleman by the name of Loogle. He did
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: twelve milligrams, which is roughly one hundred and twenty times
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the daily allowance for iodine, and he got success with
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: just about every single case he had. And I'm not
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: talking about thyroid. I'm talking about every person that came
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to him with any kind of condition. He gave iodine
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: two and they all got better. I don't care if
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: it was heart long liver bowl. They all got better.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: And so, you know what, I think our body is
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a bit smarter than to freak out with a little
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: bit of extra iodine. But if you want more information,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Okinaggans that live in Okinawa in an area I believe
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: in the Japanese or japan area, they eat upwards of
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: fifty to eighty milligrams. Yes, you heard me right. Twelve
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: milligrams was what Loogals was giving. Ourda is one hundred
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: and fifty micrograms. And I've had podcasts where I've talked
• 16:43
