- 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 a complex
- 0:58Speaker 3: subject that we're going to try to break down make
- 1:00Speaker 3: it at least as easily understandable as we can for
- 1:04Speaker 3: those women that are struggling with these types of issues.
- 1:08Speaker 3: And again, when someone talks about painful intercourse, it is
- 1:13Speaker 3: a situation that is certainly not enjoyable at all. And ultimately,
- 1:21Speaker 3: as a woman ages, if she does not produce the
- 1:24Speaker 3: estrogen that she should or could. Then those tissues along
- 1:29Speaker 3: the vaginal canal do not stay moist and they don't
- 1:32Speaker 3: stay healthy, and they begin to dry out. And that's
- 1:35Speaker 3: some where the dryness the itchiness. Because of those tissues
- 1:40Speaker 3: becoming dry, they crack, they tend to break, they tend
- 1:44Speaker 3: to allow infection, and now we have itchiness because we
- 1:47Speaker 3: have a constant immune mounted offensive going on in the
- 1:53Speaker 3: area to try and heal, and that itchiness is kind
- 1:56Speaker 3: of like scar tissue, kind of like the body trying
- 1:59Speaker 3: to heal, but it is unable to do so. Now,
- 2:01Speaker 3: while there are things that a woman can do, like
- 2:06Speaker 3: what we call hydration cubes, if that's something you're not
- 2:10Speaker 3: familiar with. They put a small amount of estrogen into
- 2:15Speaker 3: a medium or a little hydration cube of coconut oil,
- 2:23Speaker 3: and you buy them and if you don't keep them
- 2:27Speaker 3: in the freezer, by the way, you won't be able
- 2:30Speaker 3: to insert them. And so women will use these hydration
- 2:34Speaker 3: cubes and they'll lay down at night at bedtime and
- 2:37Speaker 3: they'll insert a cube and they'll go to sleep because
- 2:40Speaker 3: they're trying to deliver that small amount of phytoestrogen or
- 2:44Speaker 3: plant based estrogens to those tissues directly to try to
- 2:48Speaker 3: help those tissues stay hydrated and not dry out and
- 2:52Speaker 3: not become diseased, if you will. And so while that
- 2:57Speaker 3: is a possibility of one treatment, it certainly isn't a fix.
- 3:02Speaker 3: So what is supposed to happen as a woman ages
- 3:07Speaker 3: and the ovaries shut down production of the vast majority
- 3:12Speaker 3: of their estrogen and progesterone, The adrenal glands are supposed
- 3:17Speaker 3: to take over and produce progesterone so that a woman
- 3:22Speaker 3: can stay healthy and vibrant and live a great life,
- 3:27Speaker 3: if you will. And that progesterone that the adrenal glands
- 3:31Speaker 3: that sit on top of our kidneys, that the progesterone
- 3:35Speaker 3: that they produce primes estrogen receptors and can even make
- 3:42Speaker 3: new or more estrogen receptors, very slowly, but they can.
- 3:47Speaker 3: And in that priming, now, what little estrogen that you
- 3:51Speaker 3: do still produce, keeps those tissues relatively moist and healthy.
- 3:57Speaker 3: That goes along with having a good diet, that you
- 4:00Speaker 3: have plenty of minerals and good fats to keep all
- 4:04Speaker 3: the tissues of your body healthy. Therein lies the fix.
- 4:08Speaker 3: And many women out there might be thinking, I am
- 4:11Speaker 3: not willing to eat a great diet. Maybe it's not
- 4:16Speaker 3: accessible to you. Maybe you think it's going to be
- 4:18Speaker 3: too expensive, maybe your habits are too deeply ingrained, and
- 4:21Speaker 3: you're like, I'll I'll just go with the hydration cubes,
- 4:24Speaker 3: and you can do that. And I tell women, please
- 4:28Speaker 3: go with the lowest amount of hydration cubes that you can,
- 4:34Speaker 3: meaning like, let's say that I believe they're roughly a
- 4:37Speaker 3: half inch by half inch small cube, and you keep
- 4:41Speaker 3: them in the freezer, and when you're ready for bed,
- 4:44Speaker 3: you go down to the freezer, you cut off your
- 4:46Speaker 3: little tab, you take it upstairs, and you lay down
- 4:49Speaker 3: and you insert it. Because the moment it touches your
- 4:51Speaker 3: warm fingers, coconut oil starts melting at seventy seven degrees
- 4:56Speaker 3: and so it literally becomes liquefied and you're like trying
- 5:00Speaker 3: to insert nothing at that point, and so you want
- 5:03Speaker 3: to be able to insert it and have that liquid
- 5:06Speaker 3: or that coconut oil and all those estrogens go to
- 5:08Speaker 3: those tissues. So I hope that kind of gives you
- 5:10Speaker 3: at least a little idea of how to at least
- 5:12Speaker 3: do it. But let's say that you don't need a
- 5:15Speaker 3: whole hydration cube. Maybe you only need a quarter, Maybe
- 5:18Speaker 3: you only need a half. Now, how will you know?
- 5:20Speaker 3: If you start doing it, You're like, hey, I think
- 5:23Speaker 3: I want to order those. Fine, you can look up
- 5:25Speaker 3: hydration cubes or for vaginal insert and you'll find companies
- 5:29Speaker 3: that do produce them. But you may start with, Hey,
- 5:31Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with a quarter of one. I'm just
- 5:32Speaker 3: gonna kind of take a knife and just cut that
- 5:35Speaker 3: coconut oil into smaller chunks and freeze it and just
- 5:39Speaker 3: insert and see if that helps. And I would only
- 5:42Speaker 3: do it obviously at bedtime, once a day, and just
- 5:44Speaker 3: see over a couple of weeks, how are things going. Hey,
- 5:47Speaker 3: it seems to be improving. Great, Maybe your problem isn't
- 5:52Speaker 3: so bad. And so you find that, hey, maybe every
- 5:56Speaker 3: other night is just plenty. Because I'm early on in
- 5:59Speaker 3: the situation interested in changing my diet. I'm interested in
- 6:02Speaker 3: getting better health so that all the tissues of my
- 6:05Speaker 3: body are better. Now, if we have a woman, and
- 6:09Speaker 3: again this is for women that are menopausal. If you're
- 6:13Speaker 3: not at menopausal age and you're having vaginal pain or
- 6:16Speaker 3: intercourse pain and dryness, we actually have a situation now
- 6:21Speaker 3: going on that's more candida related Candida is a type
- 6:25Speaker 3: of yeast, and it's what we call a weak pathogen,
- 6:27Speaker 3: if that doesn't make much sense. A pathogen is something
- 6:30Speaker 3: that the body sees as foreign and damaging and attacks
- 6:32Speaker 3: it immediately. And when I say weak, I mean like
- 6:36Speaker 3: not strong at all. Our body has no problem fighting
- 6:39Speaker 3: and getting rid of candida. But if the environment of
- 6:44Speaker 3: our body is just right, we will actually call those
- 6:48Speaker 3: candida into the body and give them, if you will,
- 6:54Speaker 3: safe haven because they're actually protecting you from other worse things.
- 6:59Speaker 3: So to look at candida as the enemy and all
- 7:02Speaker 3: be all is not a wise state or perception or
- 7:06Speaker 3: point of view. We want to at least look at
- 7:09Speaker 3: and say, okay, so I've got candida going on, I've
- 7:12Speaker 3: got to figure out why my body is actually harboring
- 7:15Speaker 3: these things. And oftentimes it is heavy metals and it's
- 7:18Speaker 3: other toxicity that the candida actually helping your body with.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Even though the candy to come with their own issues
- 7:26Speaker 3: that they're going to affect the body, they are actually
- 7:29Speaker 3: helpful in the interim. And so the goal is then
- 7:32Speaker 3: to detox, to get the body healthy, to get the
- 7:35Speaker 3: gut healthy, to change over the gut bacteria, which then
- 7:37Speaker 3: changes over the vaginal bacteria changes the skin, It just
- 7:42Speaker 3: goes downstream from there. Now, could you still have hormonal imbalances, Absolutely,
- 7:49Speaker 3: and so it is wise to work on liver. It
- 7:52Speaker 3: is wise to work on your glands. And if you
- 7:54Speaker 3: listen to some of these series that I've been doing
- 7:57Speaker 3: on female hormones, you're going to get a good idea
- 7:59Speaker 3: of how to do that. But picking up your diet
- 8:03Speaker 3: and figuring out how to get much better fats in,
- 8:06Speaker 3: much better nutrient density in and begin to start supporting
- 8:09Speaker 3: liver cleaning and bowel digestion and elimination is going to
- 8:14Speaker 3: be vital as well as destressing your brain overall. And
- 8:20Speaker 3: so if you find everything stressful, then you've got to
- 8:23Speaker 3: start getting a different, what like playbook, you know, something
- 8:28Speaker 3: that is going to help you look at the world
- 8:31Speaker 3: in general as less stressful. And that comes with your foundation.
- 8:35Speaker 3: And so that's something that if you want to switch
- 8:37Speaker 3: gears and go listen to some of my podcasts on
- 8:39Speaker 3: Words of Radiance, you'll begin to start understanding what your
- 8:42Speaker 3: foundation is and what your beliefs are, and how stressed
- 8:45Speaker 3: out you are, and how do you begin to fundamentally
- 8:48Speaker 3: change how your brain thinks instead of fear based thinking,
- 8:53Speaker 3: it begins to be a love based thinking process. Now,
- 8:59Speaker 3: is is everybody out there seem safe? No, you're right,
- 9:03Speaker 3: there are people out there that are technically very safe,
- 9:06Speaker 3: but the vast majority of people are good people, believe
- 9:10Speaker 3: it or not. And so being able to start thinking
- 9:13Speaker 3: along different terms about how we look at the world
- 9:16Speaker 3: and how we look at people around us and how
- 9:18Speaker 3: many people are actually there to help us and be
- 9:21Speaker 3: loving on us and be generous and be supportive and
- 9:25Speaker 3: want our very best is more than we think. And
- 9:28Speaker 3: so that's just a touch on, at least stress wise
- 9:31Speaker 3: of where we're going there, because if you continue to
- 9:34Speaker 3: be completely stressed out, you're going to look at the
- 9:38Speaker 3: world as constantly fearful and that actually changes everything in
- 9:41Speaker 3: the human body, literally everything. So with that in mind,
- 9:46Speaker 3: those are the two big big things we're going to
- 9:48Speaker 3: be looking at. Is Number one is how is your
- 9:51Speaker 3: hormone balance doing? And how is candida overgrowth or those
- 9:57Speaker 3: type of yeas that are in the body that shouldn't be.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Those are the biggies. Now would we say, hey, make
- 10:03Speaker 3: sure you get tons of vitamin A, tons of vitamin
- 10:06Speaker 3: E and zinc, Well, yeah, those are all great things
- 10:10Speaker 3: to do for the immune system and your hormonal system,
- 10:13Speaker 3: But we would also say, hey, really good vitamin C
- 10:16Speaker 3: from a natural food source for the copper, and of
- 10:19Speaker 3: course the vitamin E which is selenium, but all the
- 10:22Speaker 3: trace minerals are incredibly important too, and then the B
- 10:25Speaker 3: vitamins to actually make energy to actually promote the change
- 10:29Speaker 3: that needs to happen. And then next is do you
- 10:32Speaker 3: have a good enough digestive system to process the protein
- 10:36Speaker 3: you're eating? And are you eating enough proteins that you
- 10:39Speaker 3: can repair the body and actually watch the systems begin
- 10:42Speaker 3: to heal. And wouldn't it be nice if you did
- 10:45Speaker 3: all this and tomorrow you are completely healed and healthy.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And of course we'd say that's a fantasy, unless you
- 10:52Speaker 3: find somebody who walks on water, then it's reality. But
- 10:56Speaker 3: for the vast majority of us that are going to
- 10:58Speaker 3: go through this process of neutris attrition, changing and betterment
- 11:03Speaker 3: and working on our on the body, so to speak,
- 11:06Speaker 3: as well as our spirit. So as we work on
- 11:09Speaker 3: that body, it isn't a fast process, unfortunately, but it
- 11:12Speaker 3: can be quicker than we think. So in the short term,
- 11:15Speaker 3: might be might we be doing some hydration cubes yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 3: we probably should. Might we be doing something like calcium, Yes,
- 11:24Speaker 3: we probably should. Might we be doing something like rappolsider vinegar,
- 11:27Speaker 3: or some type of digestive product like enzymes that will
- 11:31Speaker 3: at least start helping us digest. Yes, So all these
- 11:35Speaker 3: things go into this helpful stuff. So vaginal discharge, we're
- 11:40Speaker 3: going to just lump right in with candida. We've got
- 11:43Speaker 3: a complete dysbiosis or unhappy bacterious situation going on in
- 11:49Speaker 3: the gut, and it's now bled over, so to speak,
- 11:53Speaker 3: into every other part of your body. So how would
- 11:57Speaker 3: I begin, Oh, well, I'm going to take a probiotic. Well,
- 12:01Speaker 3: yes you can, but as you've been around a little bit,
- 12:05Speaker 3: probably listening to my podcasts, I'm not big on probiotics.
- 12:09Speaker 3: There again, something that you have to continually take if
- 12:13Speaker 3: you're not going to adjust your diet. But what if
- 12:15Speaker 3: instead you said, Hey, I'm going to start getting some
- 12:18Speaker 3: fermented foods in my diet. I would like to figure
- 12:21Speaker 3: out how to make fresh sauerkraut. I think I'm gonna
- 12:24Speaker 3: buy kimchi from the store. Hey, I think I'm going
- 12:27Speaker 3: to start doing kiefer and kombucha and rappel cider vinegar.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Those would all be awesome things to do, and you'll
- 12:35Speaker 3: probably find the fastest way to go with something like
- 12:39Speaker 3: a Kiefer. But keifer won't fix how well you digest.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Keifer will definitely change the bacterial colonies in your gut,
- 12:47Speaker 3: which will inevitably change the vaginal colonies. And that's awesome.
- 12:52Speaker 3: But we still need to work on getting some chloride
- 12:55Speaker 3: into your diet so that you can start making hydrochloric
- 12:58Speaker 3: acid in your stomach and begin processing your food to
- 13:03Speaker 3: its smallest little pieces, meaning digesting it down and breaking
- 13:07Speaker 3: it down so you can absorb proteins as well as
- 13:10Speaker 3: all the minerals that you so desperately need to repair
- 13:13Speaker 3: the body. Now, one of the big things is calcium.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Calcium lends towards tissue softness hydration. So if we already
- 13:24Speaker 3: have dry tissues in the vaginal canal, I'm going to
- 13:27Speaker 3: ask do you have a dry cough? Do you sometimes
- 13:30Speaker 3: just cough for no reason? Is your skin dry? These
- 13:34Speaker 3: are all things that women complain about, and they start
- 13:37Speaker 3: taking things like collagen, which, if you didn't know any better,
- 13:40Speaker 3: they're adding estrogen to collagen because they know women want
- 13:44Speaker 3: softer skin, and they know that women are having trouble
- 13:47Speaker 3: producing estrogen because they're so mineral deficient. So things like
- 13:52Speaker 3: kelp and alfalfa are excellent. But then you might say, well,
- 13:56Speaker 3: I'm not a rabbit. You're correct, you're not a rabbit.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Kelp and alfalfa are among the highest density foods for
- 14:04Speaker 3: minerals that are around, and so you'll find pills that
- 14:08Speaker 3: have that in that and begin to add to your body.
- 14:11Speaker 3: But in order to process minerals, like I said, you
- 14:13Speaker 3: have to have a very strong stomach acid. Yes, but
- 14:17Speaker 3: already have acid reflux. Yes, you're producing the wrong acid.
- 14:20Speaker 3: By the way, that acid is about a four point
- 14:23Speaker 3: five maybe a four point oh, it's not getting the
- 14:26Speaker 3: job done. You're fermenting food rather than digesting it, and
- 14:30Speaker 3: therefore you are burping it up. I'm talking about hydrochloric
- 14:34Speaker 3: acid that's a one point five to two point h
- 14:37Speaker 3: And then your pancreas will release pepsin, which drops down
- 14:40Speaker 3: the acidity of your gut even lower, like it has
- 14:44Speaker 3: always been supposed to happening. So what does a medical
- 14:48Speaker 3: doctor do. Instead, they give you an acid blocker because
- 14:52Speaker 3: they don't understand. I wish they did, I really really do.
- 14:56Speaker 3: And it's not to bash them. They just don't know
- 14:58Speaker 3: what they don't know. There are things I don't know.
- 15:02Speaker 3: I'm sure there's lots of things I don't know, but
- 15:04Speaker 3: these things I see time and time again and my clients,
- 15:09Speaker 3: and they start to understand very well that when we
- 15:11Speaker 3: work on digestion, things change. So those will kind of
- 15:17Speaker 3: give you some ideas of where we're heading with a
- 15:20Speaker 3: condition like this. We're gonna work on the gut. We
- 15:23Speaker 3: are then going to be working on your liver a
- 15:25Speaker 3: little bit, but then we're going to work on your
- 15:27Speaker 3: immune system because your immune system has to be running
- 15:32Speaker 3: to get some of these bugs out of you. But
- 15:35Speaker 3: the detoxification that comes with that kind of infection fighting
- 15:41Speaker 3: does take some time and take some know how. So
- 15:44Speaker 3: if you start detoxing and fighting infection and boosting your
- 15:47Speaker 3: immune system and you feel like crap, you just overwhelmed
- 15:51Speaker 3: your system that wasn't in a great shape to begin with.
- 15:55Speaker 3: So if you want to go it alone, you can
- 15:57Speaker 3: try it. But as you get into a stuck place,
- 16:00Speaker 3: p please don't keep struggling. Please give somebody like myself
- 16:03Speaker 3: a call. Go get help, because they're those out there
- 16:07Speaker 3: that do know what they are doing. And can help
- 16:10Speaker 3: you and do it in a decent way. So we
- 16:14Speaker 3: definitely want some fiber going in the gut. We definitely
- 16:16Speaker 3: want something that's going to supply good colonies of bacteria,
- 16:20Speaker 3: like Kiefer, like fermented foods. We'll get into the nutrition
- 16:26Speaker 3: side of immune support, but I love high vitamin A naturally,
- 16:31Speaker 3: not synthetic garbage that you would get in a store,
- 16:33Speaker 3: not beta carotene. We like rent and all palmitate, the
- 16:36Speaker 3: real stuff, And we want vitamin C and it's full complement.
- 16:40Speaker 3: And we want to support the liver in a way
- 16:42Speaker 3: that continues to let it detox gently and effectively and consistently,
- 16:47Speaker 3: and a gut that can help with that detox process
- 16:51Speaker 3: without resisting it. So there are ways to do all this,
- 16:55Speaker 3: and it's just time, my friend, and we can help
- 16:58Speaker 3: you do that. So I hope this was helpful. I
- 17:01Speaker 3: hope this gave you kind of at least a starter
- 17:04Speaker 3: in understanding about what you're up against. What we really
- 17:07Speaker 3: would like to hit home two is that if you
- 17:11Speaker 3: let these things go, they can end up in things
- 17:15Speaker 3: like lictin sclerosis, which is complete atrophy of the vaginal canal,
- 17:20Speaker 3: and it is painful even though you're not having intercourse,
- 17:25Speaker 3: and it can lead to prolapsed uterus, prolapsed bladder, prolapsed anus.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I mean, it's not a fun situation to let these
- 17:35Speaker 3: tissues go south. And the reason that those prolapses happen
- 17:40Speaker 3: is because protein is not being digested or not consumed
- 17:45Speaker 3: or both in your body, and therefore you cannot keep
- 17:49Speaker 3: those ligaments that keep those structures where they're supposed to be.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Those ligaments cannot maintain strength in order to do that,
- 17:57Speaker 3: and partly that is a job of calcium. Partly it
- 18:00Speaker 3: is manganese, Partly it is copper and the protein to
- 18:04Speaker 3: do it, to just name a few things. So again,
- 18:07Speaker 3: there are those that understand how to help women get
- 18:11Speaker 3: some of this function back, but we would rather head
- 18:15Speaker 3: it off much faster than let it get to a
- 18:18Speaker 3: point where it's very difficult to correct.
