How would you know if you are suffering from the harmful effects caused by a hormone imbalance, too much estrogen and not enough progesterone? 

For decades, scientists have studied the ill-effects of environmental estrogens, also known as xeno-estrogens (xeno means foreign) and their effect on the endocrine system (the endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce our hormones). These hormones regulate metabolism, growth & development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep & mood, among many other things.  

Xeno-estrogens have hormone-like activity in the body of both genders and are known as endocrine disruptors.  This means they interfere with the natural production & utilization of your valuable, beneficial hormones.

Since the endocrine system is responsible for your hormone production, the many chemicals in our environment are the First of three underlying causes of hormone imbalance & insufficient levels of progesterone (your master hormone).  

Watch the following, brief whiteboard animation…

As you just saw in the above video, your body is continually flooded with too many xenoestrogens, which are negatively affecting your endocrine system. The result? You needlessly suffer with an imbalance of your primary hormones.

Where do these Xeno-estrogens and other toxic chemicals come from?  The video was clear, they are extremely prevalent in almost all personal care & beauty products (even when the label says “Natural”), plastics which come in contact with food & beverages, pesticides (this is why so many choose Organic), cleaning products and all synthetic fragrances.  There are more than 100,000 petroleum-based ingredients (petro-chemicals) in use by the cosmetic industry alone! (petroleum is a xenoestrogen)!

When they gain access to your body, they carry the properties of a synthetic estrogen, a primary underlying cause of hormone imbalance!

The Second cause of hormone imbalance is found in most commercially grown meat, dairy and animal products.  Unless otherwise specified on the label, almost ALL chicken, beef, pork, eggs and dairy contain synthetic estrogens and/or pesticides. Additionally, a very high percentage of fruits vegetables and grains have been genetically modified (GMO). You may wonder “what is wrong with GMO? ” GMO foods contain high levels of glyphosate, a very harmful EDC and a known carcinogen!

These are consumed by hundreds of millions of people weekly.  Synthetic estrogens shorten the growth time of the animal & profit the farmer, while cheapening the cost & the quality for you, the consumer.  When consumed on a daily or weekly basis, these foods directly affect our endocrine system and optimal hormone balance.  

Synthetic estrogens (EDC’s) are also responsible for weight-gain, infertility (men & women), diminished libido, increased disease susceptibility & overall ill-health.   Synthetic hormones, which are the active ingredients in prescription birth control and HRT, have also  been proven in many studies, to put you at increased risk for female-specific cancers.

In order to achieve a healthy balance of your hormones, you must identify and delete all harmful chemicals from your daily lifestyle.

STRESS! Who today is immune?

Since we don’t always have complete control of what happens to us, one way to successfully cope is to train ourselves to respond differently to stressful events. When you are the recipient of a very stressful episode, what meaning do you give to it? Do you feel you are a victim?

I fully appreciate that it is not always all that easy to just shrug it off, however, there are a couple of exercise routines that will change your brain chemistry and oxygen levels in your blood, helping you to cope with stressful events.

Before you watch these videos please realize that day-to-day stresses are to be expected, however, it is excessive, prolonged stress that takes a toll on our health, and stress hormones promote an imbalance of our primary beneficial hormones!

Follow the lead on these two videos every morning and you will significantly improve your ability to cope with this chaotic world!

Body-Identical progesterone will safely support your body’s ability to be in balance.  Your Body Wants to Heal! It’s one simple way to address the cause of your issues and enjoy balanced hormones from the end of puberty, for life.

Optimal progesterone levels, at the correct time of the month, will not only alleviate, but prevent the painful symptoms of PMS/PMDD & difficult menopause, increase osteoblast cell activity (strong bones) and support overall health & vitality for life.

Healthy progesterone levels will also support increased fertility, a successful first trimester, resulting in a healthy & satisfying full-term pregnancy. When it is time for your baby to be born, progesterone levels drop on or about week 40.  Maintaining optimal progesterone levels after your baby is born, will  address the causes of post-partum depression.

With that said, Progesterone’s health benefits don’t end in the hormone department.  Did you know progesterone has also been proven to have a supportive effect on brain chemistry?  It aids in production of the ‘neurotransmitters’ that enhance your mood, like serotonin.  It also supports refreshing, deep sleep, healthy cell death & renewal (apoptosis), healthy weight, healthy hair and improved skin elasticity.   

Clearly, progesterone is beneficial to your entire body’s health.
