- 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 particular podcast is
- 0:57Speaker 3: in our series of Female condition and this particular one
- 1:01Speaker 3: is mood swings or PMS. And while this seems oh commonplace,
- 1:09Speaker 3: just because something is common doesn't mean that it is normal,
- 1:14Speaker 3: And I mean it's I think it's actually kind of
- 1:17Speaker 3: sad that a lot of folks joke about PMS and
- 1:20Speaker 3: things like that, but for a woman having it, it
- 1:23Speaker 3: is no laughing matter and no picnic And I find
- 1:27Speaker 3: it fascinating that there are more than one hundred and
- 1:30Speaker 3: fifty symptoms, all documented, that are associated with this particular syndrome.
- 1:37Speaker 3: So needless to say that there isn't one expert that
- 1:41Speaker 3: agrees or any experts that agree on exactly why it
- 1:43Speaker 3: is happening. But I'm going to do an overview of
- 1:45Speaker 3: at least explaining the most common causes and why, and
- 1:48Speaker 3: what the mechanism is, and how we would begin to
- 1:52Speaker 3: help at least the body begin to regulate itself so
- 1:56Speaker 3: that this particular thing doesn't happen. Now, first we should
- 2:00Speaker 3: at least understand what PMS is. It's having symptoms, whether
- 2:04Speaker 3: it's tension, whether it's yourtability, whether it's mood swings, whether
- 2:07Speaker 3: it's just any kind of not general well being. About
- 2:14Speaker 3: ten to fifteen days before your period begins. Now, for
- 2:18Speaker 3: the vast majority, I would say it's less than ten days,
- 2:21Speaker 3: but they do actually include it up to fifteen days,
- 2:24Speaker 3: and it seems staggering because ultimately, at fifteen days before
- 2:28Speaker 3: your cycle, you probably should be in ovulation. Though there
- 2:33Speaker 3: are women out there that will have some upwards of
- 2:36Speaker 3: a forty day cycle instead of the standard twenty eight days,
- 2:41Speaker 3: and so it is basically a lunar cycle. So if
- 2:43Speaker 3: you're not having a lunar cycle, meaning every twenty eight days,
- 2:47Speaker 3: you have your cycle or your period, then that's the
- 2:49Speaker 3: first thing that we would want to start at least
- 2:51Speaker 3: working on. And there is a significant amount of hormonal disregulation.
- 2:56Speaker 3: So when I say hormonal disregulation, we either have too
- 2:59Speaker 3: much UroGen or not enough. We either have too much
- 3:03Speaker 3: progesterone or not enough. We either have too much pituitary
- 3:07Speaker 3: hormones and I don't really want to get into those,
- 3:09Speaker 3: but we can mention them as lutinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone.
- 3:14Speaker 3: There are other hormones involved, and ultimately who's supposed to
- 3:18Speaker 3: get these hormones out of the system if they're too much.
- 3:21Speaker 3: That would be your liver in your gut. So we
- 3:24Speaker 3: have not only the endocrine glands or the hormone glands
- 3:28Speaker 3: like the pituitary, the hypothalamus, the thyroid, the ovaries, those
- 3:34Speaker 3: are all players, but the liver is the detoxifying system
- 3:38Speaker 3: so that we can actually get rid of these hormones
- 3:40Speaker 3: and revert back to a status quo. I hate to
- 3:45Speaker 3: say normal. I'm trying to stay away from the word
- 3:48Speaker 3: normal environment in the body because the body is constantly dynamics.
- 3:52Speaker 3: So we have the average of what it's doing, and
- 3:55Speaker 3: then we have something like when the cycle begins to start,
- 3:59Speaker 3: how there's this changeover for about five days before your
- 4:03Speaker 3: period begins, we have this crossover where estrogen and progesterone
- 4:06Speaker 3: are going down. Now, if you've caught my other podcasts
- 4:10Speaker 3: on female hormones, and if you've done any kind of
- 4:14Speaker 3: at all research or looking into or trying to understand
- 4:17Speaker 3: the female cycle, perhaps may maybe you have a daughter
- 4:20Speaker 3: or a spouse, or a girlfriend, or you yourself, or your
- 4:25Speaker 3: daughter or he your mom. I mean, it could be
- 4:28Speaker 3: any one of the persons. Why you're looking into what
- 4:31Speaker 3: is going on with these dysregulated cycles. And so estrogen
- 4:36Speaker 3: should be twenty five times less at any given time
- 4:40Speaker 3: than progesterone. The only time that we allow estrogen to
- 4:44Speaker 3: be higher is right before ovulation. Estrogen will start to
- 4:47Speaker 3: build as the egg matures, and that's its job is
- 4:51Speaker 3: to get that egg to grow and become a viable
- 4:56Speaker 3: egg and be released from the ovary. And then estrogen
- 4:59Speaker 3: goes down and stays low progesterone comes up right after
- 5:03Speaker 3: ovulation because it's for progestation. It's hoping that this egg
- 5:08Speaker 3: is fertile and that we have a viable pregnancy. So
- 5:11Speaker 3: progesterone that's where it gets its title, and during the
- 5:15Speaker 3: second half of the cycle is fairly elevated. When no
- 5:19Speaker 3: viable egg goes or ether is produced, it drops off.
- 5:24Speaker 3: And now that cycles signals the cycle or your menstrual
- 5:27Speaker 3: cycle to begin. The whole month is a cycle. And
- 5:30Speaker 3: so as we look at this PMS, this tension that
- 5:35Speaker 3: occurs building up to this changeover from not being pregnant
- 5:40Speaker 3: to now having to release all of the lining of
- 5:44Speaker 3: the uterus that we would call bleeding and then begin
- 5:48Speaker 3: to reform the lining of the uters for the next
- 5:51Speaker 3: month's possible viable egg. So this whole cycle ends and
- 5:56Speaker 3: we can have this tension now any aspect within the
- 6:01Speaker 3: system that is now not working, whether you let's say
- 6:03Speaker 3: you have a liver that's not functioning, well, why would
- 6:05Speaker 3: my liver not be functioning if your diet is not
- 6:07Speaker 3: real good? Oh, you mean like eating fast food all
- 6:11Speaker 3: the time and drinking coffee and eating sugar and eating
- 6:16Speaker 3: dyes and colorings and chemicals and being exposed to chemicals
- 6:19Speaker 3: in our diet or our lifestyle, our home, our work,
- 6:23Speaker 3: our school, whatever, the makeup that you put on your body,
- 6:27Speaker 3: the clothes that have dyes in them. Yes, I'm talking
- 6:29Speaker 3: about all those chemicals. So that's going to overburden the liver.
- 6:32Speaker 3: So is it any wonder why a vast majority of
- 6:35Speaker 3: women have issues with this crossover and now they're getting
- 6:39Speaker 3: some pms. Well, no, it's not a huge Oh my gosh,
- 6:43Speaker 3: are you kidding? Once you understand that the liver is
- 6:46Speaker 3: supposed to be regulating the progesterone and estrogen in the
- 6:49Speaker 3: system and pulling those hormones out when they shouldn't be
- 6:51Speaker 3: where they are, and if the liver can't do that
- 6:54Speaker 3: because it's congested, guess what, You're going to have some
- 6:57Speaker 3: weird symptoms. Now, things that would help well, obviously decongesting
- 7:01Speaker 3: the livers. We could even recommend things like beats and
- 7:03Speaker 3: beet greens. But let's say that, Okay, my liver's doing fine,
- 7:07Speaker 3: perhaps my gut isn't very good. So maybe I'm under
- 7:10Speaker 3: a lot of pressure, a lot of stress. I'm trying
- 7:13Speaker 3: to stay away from salt for whatever reason, and I
- 7:16Speaker 3: don't have great digestion. Therefore, my liver can't detox. So now,
- 7:20Speaker 3: even though we're going to point at the liver, it's
- 7:22Speaker 3: the gut that's the problem. So let's say you've had
- 7:24Speaker 3: lots of antibiotics when you were young, maybe you're just
- 7:27Speaker 3: you're born, and you're just sick from the get go,
- 7:29Speaker 3: and you're like, I don't know why, I'm just so sick.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I've had all these antibiotics, and I just don't feel
- 7:33Speaker 3: well all the time. And now my gut's a mess,
- 7:35Speaker 3: and I have irtable bowel, and my bowels are either
- 7:37Speaker 3: constipated or I have diarrhea. You have a situation where
- 7:41Speaker 3: now your gut is actually the primary problem. So let's say, hey,
- 7:46Speaker 3: my gut is fine, my liver's fine, I still feel
- 7:48Speaker 3: like crap. I don't feel right when that crossover occurs. Okay,
- 7:53Speaker 3: so now we're going after the general hormone production. How
- 7:57Speaker 3: do we help your body do its better? The quickest
- 8:01Speaker 3: way to disregulate a system is blood sugar. And so
- 8:05Speaker 3: if you're eating empty carbs, refined carbohydrates, sugar, pop, energy drinks,
- 8:10Speaker 3: all of that, you are going to inevitably disregulate your
- 8:13Speaker 3: entire system. And so to process all that sugar requires
- 8:18Speaker 3: a lot of nutrient value, and nutrients and sugar were
- 8:21Speaker 3: there if you process them naturally. If we process sugar cane,
- 8:25Speaker 3: it's brown. It's not white granulated sugar. And the brown
- 8:30Speaker 3: that's in that sugar that we would process from squeezing
- 8:33Speaker 3: sugar cane and drying it is molasses. Molasses is what
- 8:38Speaker 3: is there that makes it brown. So how many of
- 8:41Speaker 3: you out there are taking spoonfuls of molasses every day?
- 8:44Speaker 3: Where there's trace minerals, calcium, magnesium, copper, B vitamins, well
- 8:50Speaker 3: there you go. So guess what a lot of the
- 8:52Speaker 3: fix is when it comes to pms. You're going to
- 8:56Speaker 3: find B vitamins at the top of the chart along
- 9:00Speaker 3: with calcium and magnesium. Let's just be clear. Trace minerals
- 9:04Speaker 3: are incredibly important. So that each of your glands and
- 9:07Speaker 3: organs like the petuitary, your ovaries, your hypothalamus that runs
- 9:13Speaker 3: the hormone show in your brain, the petuitary that's the
- 9:17Speaker 3: master gland that the hypothalamus is stimulating to tell all
- 9:20Speaker 3: the other glands like the ovaries, your adrenals, your thyroid
- 9:24Speaker 3: what to do and how to do it, and all
- 9:26Speaker 3: these glands need trace minerals, among other things. And wherever
- 9:30Speaker 3: we find these trace minerals like molasses or kelp and alfalfa,
- 9:34Speaker 3: you're going to find B vitamins. You're going to find
- 9:36Speaker 3: vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A. It's really fascinating because
- 9:40Speaker 3: vitamin A has been shown to help regulate estrogen also
- 9:45Speaker 3: produce progesterone. And most people don't do any kind of vegetables,
- 9:52Speaker 3: and so vegetables of varying colors have vitamin A. Then
- 9:57Speaker 3: we have vitamin E, which is so profoundly importan to
- 10:01Speaker 3: most gonad hormones. Gonads are testes in men and ovaries
- 10:05Speaker 3: and women, and so vitamin E is very much lacking
- 10:08Speaker 3: in many children these days. All you have to do
- 10:11Speaker 3: is look around and see how their skin is, how
- 10:13Speaker 3: much acne do they have, Then they're probably lacking some
- 10:16Speaker 3: vitamin E and some vitamin A. So if we're doing
- 10:20Speaker 3: good amounts of good usable calcium, most of the stuff
- 10:23Speaker 3: on the market is complete and out of crap. Please
- 10:25Speaker 3: don't do that. If you're wondering what to do, you
- 10:28Speaker 3: may want to make an appointment with me so that
- 10:30Speaker 3: we can at least direct you in the right way
- 10:31Speaker 3: to the right things that you can at least have
- 10:33Speaker 3: the most good you possibly can. So here we talked
- 10:36Speaker 3: about having blood sugar stable, having a gut that works,
- 10:39Speaker 3: having your liver detox correctly, as well as your glands
- 10:42Speaker 3: and hormones being able to be produced because you have
- 10:44Speaker 3: the right nutrient value and can actually make the hormones
- 10:47Speaker 3: that you should have been making all along. So again
- 10:50Speaker 3: we'd like to say that this is really simple. It's
- 10:53Speaker 3: a one size fits all. PMS is so easy to fix,
- 10:56Speaker 3: but it isn't. There are many things that go with it,
- 10:59Speaker 3: and so as your history and what you've been through
- 11:01Speaker 3: and what you've eaten, and what the stress you've been under,
- 11:04Speaker 3: and how your body's performing and what your environment is
- 11:06Speaker 3: like all lends us into that whole idea of being
- 11:11Speaker 3: able to figure out what happened to you. Have I
- 11:13Speaker 3: had women come in and adjusted them and immediately their
- 11:17Speaker 3: cycles normalize. I have, So could it be that you
- 11:20Speaker 3: have some type of trauma that now has affected your
- 11:22Speaker 3: spine and now those nerves that go to your ovaries
- 11:25Speaker 3: and go to your pituitary and go to your thyroid
- 11:27Speaker 3: and go to your adrenals don't work right, and therefore
- 11:30Speaker 3: you have massive hormonal dysregulation, and that was your significant problem.
- 11:34Speaker 3: You didn't even need to dress it, you know, chemically speaking,
- 11:38Speaker 3: deficiency speaking, vitamin and mineral deficiency speaking. I have some
- 11:41Speaker 3: women that they need just a decent source of omega
- 11:45Speaker 3: three fats so that they can begin to regulate their hormones.
- 11:50Speaker 3: There's certain omega fats that I will do from day
- 11:53Speaker 3: one through fourteen and day fifteen through twenty eight in
- 11:57Speaker 3: their cycle so that I can help produce the hormone
- 12:00Speaker 3: bones correctly. So again, evening primrose or codd liver oil,
- 12:05Speaker 3: they do work, and they do have their foundation in
- 12:08Speaker 3: this whole system. And if your diet is mostly good,
- 12:11Speaker 3: you don't honestly have to worry about these things. If
- 12:14Speaker 3: you're getting good whole grass fed pasture dairy and you're
- 12:19Speaker 3: eating fish, you're covering your omega threes. So our diet
- 12:23Speaker 3: comes back into how things go long term and how
- 12:25Speaker 3: we stay healthy and how the cycle begins to regulate
- 12:29Speaker 3: itself better and better. So I'm not miserable for a day,
- 12:34Speaker 3: three days, five days, God forbid, ten days, or fifteen days.
- 12:38Speaker 3: Every single month of your life. We would like you
- 12:41Speaker 3: to be happy, joyful and healthy. Your entire life not suffering.
- 12:45Speaker 3: That is just not okay in my book. And until
- 12:49Speaker 3: next time, hope this was helpful. I'm doctor Troy, and
- 12:52Speaker 3: remember there is way more right with you than there
- 12:55Speaker 3: is wrong with you.
