How many times have you heard or said to yourself ... "I'm so tired", "Ugh, my cramps are terrible", "I have migraines, I must get my period", "I'm so sad, and I can't stop crying at every commercial softener Snuggles fabric. "As women, we can all admit that we've been there for a while. But why? Is this what we must endure as women? Should we accept that there is no end to these debilitating hormone symptoms? Or is there a solution?
Before answering these pressing questions, let us explain what PMS, Hypothyroid, and Adrenal Fatigue are, and why they are all linked together. The endocrine system is made up of various organs including: Hypothalamus, Anterior Pituitary Gland, Thyroid Gland, and Adrenal Gland. PMS is associated with sex hormone imbalance — usually too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. The Adrenal Gland is a complex organ that produces your sex hormones as well as your stress hormones. The liver also plays a major role in the production of your sex hormones. Before I lose you, let it be easy ... Your liver and adrenal glands produce your sex hormones, your thyroid communicates with your liver and adrenals, so your thyroid function is negatively affected by hormone imbalance.
We should also consider that the liver is our main detox organ and assist in the removal and removal of excess estrogen. The liver is often taxed on a lifestyle that contains prescription drugs, alcohol, and other toxins from our food and water. Decreased function will not allow the body to lose excess estrogen. There are many things in the typical American diet / lifestyle that can contribute to estrogen in the body, including:
• Birth control pills, shots, or patches
• Inorganic meat
• Inorganic products
• Seamless use
• Use more flax
• Excessive plastic, and plastic heating
• High body fat
So what's most important about having too much estrogen? Too much estrogen and not enough progesterone will increase the release of Globulin Cortisol Binding and Thyroid Binding Globulin.
The Thyroid Binding Globulin binds to the thyroid hormone in the blood so they cannot enter the cells and produce energy. This will create a "hypothyroid". Thyroid hormones help promote the thyroid and keep you fit and healthy.
Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps regulate immune function, regulates blood pressure and blood sugar, and regulates your body's inflammatory response. Too much estrogen causes Cortisol Binding Globulin to bind to cortisol in the blood, preventing it from entering cells and from activating cells to produce energy. Progesterone is a precursor to cortisol, and low progesterone levels can cause Adrenal Fatigue.
For women who have been through, or are undergoing, menopause there is still a chance that estrogen and progesterone imbalances exist. Due to the large amount of soy in our food supply, we are exposed to estrogen even though we do not eat soy products (i.e. soybean, edamame, and tofu). Soy is mixed into the many animal foods we eat as well as the main oils used in prepackaged foods and fried foods. In addition to soy-based foods, many animals are full of estrogen-based growth hormones. Plastic also contains BPA that mimics estrogen in the human body.
So what can be done? First, evaluate your symptoms:
What falls into the terrible PMS category?
• Swelling
• Anger
• Increased appetite
• Breast tenderness
• Heavy Bleeding
• Depression
• Fatigue
• Migraine
Other conditions related to PMS:
• Endometriosis
• Hair fall
• Dry skin
• Fibroid / Cysts
• Irregular periods
• Amenorea
• Adrenal fatigue
• Hypothyroid
• Cortisol balance
What are hypothyroid fatigue and adrenal fatigue?
• Reduces energy
• Thinning hair or hair loss
• Salt desire
• Turn on or off when increasing
• Inability to lose weight
• Extreme Coldness
The next thing to do is assess the liver as the liver plays an important role in the endocrine system. If you have high cholesterol, it is likely that your liver is not in perfect health. Cleansing the liver can aid in liver healing, remove excess estrogen, and balance the endocrine system.
There are various supplements and herbs that can support the natural production of progesterone by stimulating the ovaries and adrenal glands. Ashwaganda is an adaptogenic herb for the endocrine system that will adapt to your condition whether you are hyperroid or hypothyroid. Glandulars are a category of supplements that can be used to support certain glands in the human body, but cannot be used without the supervision of a functional medicine specialist or a specialized practitioner.
Reduce consumption or consumption of products that produce estrogen in the body. If you are taking birth control, consider an hormone-free IUD (such as a copper IUD). Focus on organic and non-GM foods grown without the use of fertilizers and without the use of antibiotics. Remove soy products from diets such as soy milk, soy cheese, soy sauce, soy sauce, foods cooked in soy oil, and processed foods containing soy. Limit the flax in your diet because it is phytoestrogen, which mimics estrogen in the body. Also limit the use of plastic bottles or containers that may contain CPA.
Finally, lowering body fat will help reduce the amount of estrogen in the body. Contrary to popular belief, weight loss is possible even with the endocrine system contaminated. Focus on high fat, low sugar whole foods diet. Choose high quality products by shopping at native food markets, farms, farmers markets, and butchers. Remember that just because it's available at a health food store doesn't mean "healthy". Reading labels and asking questions is an important part of eating healthy.
