So all right so now I'm going to talk to you about the signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance and one of the things I want to talk to you first about is estrogen dominance is the root cause for the following thing so if you have any of these issues it's because of estrogen dominance and that's fibroid endometriosis PCOS ovarian cyst allergies autoimmune disorders breast cancer uterine cancer infertility increased blood clotting like somebody has to take blood thinners accelerated aging so you see somebody who's aging quickly it's usually a sign that they have estrogen dominance and I know people with color they age less rapidly than people who who are of a lighter skin complexion but even if you see somebody in their 30s and they have estrogen dominance they'll look older than they should so those are root causes of estrogen the root the estrogen dominance are the root cause of those things and those are things that I talk about all the time over and over again but I want to talk to you now about the symptoms of estrogen dominance breast tenderness and or swelling so if you have any of that that's estrogen dominance bloating or water retention right like right before your period that's estrogen dominance fibrocystic breast one time I had gone gone to the doctors this wasn't too this wasn't long ago this is maybe a couple years ago my doctor was doing the breast exam on me and everything and I said well do you feel any you know any even like fibrocystic lumps she's like well nothing that is alarming that is not conducive with your age like she thought that I had the amount of breast lumps that I was supposed to have because of my age and I think at that time I was probably like 43 years old 44 years old or something like that I was like what was confusing to me I was like why I don't think you should have uh breast lumps that's my opinion but breast lumps are directly related to estrogen dominance uh weight gain especially like in the abdomen the hips and in the thighs decreased libido estrogen dominance and I want to talk about this really quickly nobody wants to talk about it but there are women out there who have decreased libido and they have become completely numb in that area like they don't even feel anything like they there's no sensitivity and that is due to estrogen dominance so if that's you and like you don't want to ask a question or anything like that sign up for a free coaching session and I can talk to you about that because I know it's a very sensitive subject and nobody wants to talk about it uh mood swings p pms depression irritability if you're experiencing any of those things that's estrogen dominance weight gain or fat gain specifically around the abdomen and hips cold hands and feet that is the symptom also that could be contributed to you know thyroid problems too like your thyroid is off to hair loss is a big one I get questions every week about hair loss and I have a woman who has been asking me to do a video about what foods to eat to help with hair loss and all of the food if you're watching right now all of the foods that I talk about contribute to making sure that you keep your hair on your head so if you hear me talk about any food that's what it's referring to because it's all connected there's not um any particular food that um is going to make your hair grow in particular you have to get your body in balance so your hair stops falling out there's a reason your hair probably falling out and this is not always the reason but the majority of the cases of the women that I talk to on a regular basis it's because their hormones are out of balance and so if your hormones are out of balance your hair is going to fall out or it's because you're mineral deficient and that means in iron or vitamin d it could be b vitamins it could be any of those combinations so what you want to do is eat foods that are loaded with the with minerals and vitamins and most excuse me mostly in this raw form I didn't bring any water but this is my smoothie I hope that helps my throat is dry sorry about that um but we want to build our bodies up within the nutrients so that our hair doesn't fall out and so that our hormones will balance and sometimes we need to supplement I would say in most cases we need to supplement you guys have heard me talk about that before so it's not only diet but it's supplementation and we got to get our hormones balanced um the other one is irregular cycles are heavy bleeding or painful periods that is a sure sign that your hormones are out of balance and you have excess estrogen in your system thyroid dysfunction sluggish metabolism hard to lose weight or hard to gain weight if you're too thin foggy thinking memory loss I used to struggle with the memory loss big time like I couldn't remember the next word I was going to say I'm in the middle of a sentence and that's something that people who are you know really um advanced in their age struggle with not a not a 20 year old or a 30 year old or 40 year old and I would say even a 50 or 60 year old shouldn't be having even 70 year old people I don't think should be having trouble with memory fault it's because of our diet and because our hormones are off balance the next one is fatigue and a lot of people who have female health issues have fatigue because they're minerally deficient and it's because of the estrogen dominance insomnia trouble sleeping okay so how this is one short way that I know that my hormones are like off balance I'll go to sleep and I'll wake up at like two o'clock in the morning and I'm wide awake and I can't sleep can't go back to sleep for the life of me I try everything can't go back to sleep and I'm just up and eventually I get sleepy it's like five o'clock in the morning but it's time to get up by then so yeah that's a surefire way and and it's easy for that to happen with me like so for example if I start eating some grains that's what's going to happen I start my hormones start getting off balance but that's just me now everybody responds like that I I'm not a person that does well with grains also skin issues so if you have heavy acne like cystic acne or rashes on the skin it's clear sign it's a clear sign that you're estrogen dominant vaginal dryness you should not have vaginal dryness when you're 20 30 40 even 50s even when you're going through menopause if your hormones are balanced you should be really good in that area gallbladder disease I am finding more and more women who are having to get their gallbladders taken out because they're having gallbladder attacks like they're in their 20s and that's happening and you shouldn't have to get your gallbladder taken out it's because of estrogen dominance and the diet your body's clogged up and it needs to be cleaned out headaches and migraines I hear so many people talk about migraines I've never had I don't think I've ever had a migraine I know I've had a really bad headache before but I don't think that I've had a migraine to where it was to um to the point where I couldn't function but I know a few people that that happens to and it is estrogen dominance it is there's there's no way to get around it and also if you if you have questions go ahead and um start typing them in while I'm you know just finishing up here I just want to say the way you combat estrogen dominance is by getting rid of the estrogenic foods and in the foods to avoid to shrink fibroid tumors webinar that I do even though I'm addressing fibroids it's still about all kinds of female health issues all the issues that I just talked about the foods to avoid or they're the same foods so if you haven't already gotten my ebook that talks about foods to avoid click on the link below and get your free ebook so you can see which foods to avoid so that you're not um you know getting all this excess estrogen in your body causing your body to wreak havoc so that you can't function normally because I don't think that God intended for us to go through life with all of these symptoms and just to keep on functioning like normally it's not normal to have brain fog fatigue skin issues uh breast problems PCOS fibroids all that is not normal I'm 50 and have fibroids and I'm experiencing some of those symptoms sorry I had a little bit of an interruption thanks for following also if you
