Mindsip insights from this episode:
Detoxify bad estrogen with broccoli's compounds
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli contain compounds that help your liver metabolize estrogen into beneficial forms and away from toxic metabolites linked to cancer.
Avoid packaged foods with health claims on labels
As a general rule, if a packaged food has a health claim on the label, it is almost guaranteed to be an unhealthy product.
Address visceral belly fat to balance estrogen levels
Visceral belly fat is an active estrogen-producing factory due to an enzyme called aromatase, which contributes to hormonal imbalances.
Recognize birth control's link to depression risk in women
A large Danish study of over a million women found an increased risk for antidepressant use in those prescribed hormonal contraceptives, with the highest risk among adolescents.
Reject notion of PMS as a design flaw; seek correctable solutions
The idea that 75% of women have a biological design flaw requiring medication for PMS is absurd; it's a correctable issue, not a normal consequence of being female.
Regulate menstrual cycles with Chaste Berry extract for PMS relief
The herbal supplement Chaste Berry fruit extract (Vitex) is very effective for regulating menstrual cycles and helping with PMS symptoms.
Incorporate quality saturated fat to support hormone production
Contrary to popular belief, quality saturated fat from sources like grass-fed butter or coconut oil is a necessary building block for your body to produce hormones.
