I'm honored to reconnect with Dr. Felice Gersh today! She is a multi-award-winning physician with dual board certification in OB-GYN and Integrative Medicine. We connected once before in Episode 221, where we spoke about PCOS and metabolic health. Today, Dr. Gersh joins me to dive into perimenopause and menopause. We discuss various issues surrounding the Women's Health Initiative and talk about estrogen as a family of hormones, estrogen-mimicking chemicals, synthetic hormones, and oral contraceptives. We get into the importance of thyroid function, the pro-inflammatory state of a loss of estrogen in perimenopause and menopause, and the importance of nutrition and exercise for metabolism. We also speak about the lesser-known changes that occur in menopause, including changes in body odor, constipation, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and vocal changes.  I intend to invite Dr. Gersh back again to discuss women and mitochondrial health, and then once again to talk about her latest book, Menopause: The Fifty Things You Need to Know.  Stay tuned to find out what menopause really is, and what it does to a woman's metabolic system. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The Women's Health Initiative study and its devastating effects Differences between synthetic and bioidentical hormones How chronic diseases of aging can be delayed when hormones are incorporated along with other lifestyle refinements What do hormones do? Why every immune cell in the body has receptors for vital hormones Menopause is not defined by a specific moment in time. Changes that occur physiologically during the perimenopause years How hormones can change the perimenopause paradigm  Why perimenopause translates into many sleep issues Phytoestrogens: nature's gift to women Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow onX ⁠Instagram ⁠LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's ⁠website⁠  Connect with Dr. Felice Gersh On her website: ⁠Integrative Medical Group of Irvine⁠ Instagram⁠ All of Dr. Gersh's books are available on ⁠Amazon⁠ ⁠Episode 221 on PCOS with Dr. Felice Gersh⁠

Send us a textPerimenopause affects every woman at some point in life but often doesn't get the attention it deserves, with symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep issues starting as early as our late 30s. As women, we need to advocate for ourselves during this transition and find providers who listen to our concerns rather than dismissing them as normal aging.• Perimenopause usually begins in early to mid-40s, though some women notice changes in their late 30s• Hispanic women reach menopause around age 49 on average, slightly earlier than the general US population at 51• High sugar and refined carbs can worsen insulin resistance and hot flashes• Alcohol and caffeine often trigger hot flashes and disrupt sleep• Protein and fiber become especially important during this transition to maintain muscle mass and metabolism• Phytoestrogens in foods like flaxseed, soy, and legumes may help reduce hot flashes• Track your symptoms to identify patterns and bring these notes to doctor appointments• Don't hesitate to get a second opinion if your provider doesn't take your concerns seriously• Balance your plate with protein, colorful vegetables, and whole grains at each meal• Strength training at least three times weekly helps protect bone density and muscle massIf today's episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend, subscribe to the podcast, and connect with me for more resources.Listen to Dr. Makhija's podcast on Peri and menopause here  Thank you for listening.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explores the relationship between phytoestrogens and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). He addresses common concerns about the potential interference of phytoestrogens with HRT, particularly focusing on their effects on estradiol and bone health. Through a detailed examination of scientific studies, he clarifies misconceptions and emphasizes the importance of individual variability in response to phytoestrogens. Ultimately, he concludes that for most individuals, incorporating phytoestrogens into their routine while on HRT is safe and may even offer additional health benefits.*STUDIES*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39433088/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30375890/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19299447/

The Secret Sauce for Shedding Pounds isn't just about diet or workouts—it's your liver. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how your liver impacts fat loss through detox, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, inflammation reduction, and mindset. If you're stuck in your weight loss journey, your liver may be the key. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS The liver produces antioxidants like glutathione that directly reduce inflammation and support fat metabolism. Hormone balance—especially estrogen and cortisol regulation—depends on liver health. Blood sugar regulation starts with the liver, which stores and processes glucose after meals. Fat cells become inflamed without proper liver function, leading to leptin resistance and weight gain. Sustainable fat loss requires mindset shifts—and liver support helps you regain control.

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens?Today I'm sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—including me (I share why in this episode)—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here's what the science says… PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy. STUDIES: This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298  Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19367115 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095177 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16763748 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14557449 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920508 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15018488 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10757817 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702593 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10479216 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15309425 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10966908 It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003 People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:http://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens. These compounds are linked to reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and several other conditions: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content-nw/full/294/12/1493/JOC50096T5 http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/136/12/3046 http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/content/full/35/6/1403 As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Armra | Use code DIGEST for 15% off at tryarmra.com/digest  Fatty15 | For 15% off the starter kit go to fatty15.com/digest Bethany's Pantry | Go to bethanyspantry.com and use code PODCAST10 for 10$  Check Out Bethany: Bethany's Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany's Website Discounts & My Favorite Products My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds)

In this episode, Tara clarifies the limitations of using herbs, supplements, and phytoestrogens as alternatives to natural bioidentical hormones in alleviating perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. She explains that while some herbal remedies may offer temporary relief for certain symptoms, they do not provide the comprehensive protective benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using natural bioidentical hormones. Tara emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making regarding HRT and provides resources, such as her course "HRT Made Simple," to guide women through understanding the significant health benefits of hormone therapy for long-term well-being. Here are three key takeaways from our discussion: Bioidentical Hormones vs. Alternatives While herbs and phytoestrogens might offer some relief from symptoms, they don't replace the health-protective benefits of natural bioidentical hormones, which are vital for mitigating risks associated with heart disease, osteoporosis, and more. The Importance of Educating Yourself Many doctors aren't fully equipped to guide you through hormone replacement therapy because they don't receive extensive training in medical school. My course, HRT Made Simple, provides you with simplified, evidence-based knowledge, empowering you to make informed decisions alongside your healthcare provider. Rethinking "Natural" Menopause Living longer means facing extended periods of hormone deficiency post-menopause. As we're at a higher risk for serious health conditions in these years, reconsidering the idea of natural menopause is essential. Embrace modern medicine's role in improving your quality of life.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 10-03-2024: In response to several listener emails, Dr. Dawn expands on the benefits of Nori powder and Rhamnan sulfate, including their effects on cholesterol and the glycocalyx. TheThe type of Nori seaweed species with the high amounts of Rhamnam sulfate is monostroma nitidum (Japanese name Hitoegusa,) and can be obtained online at Https://okume.us. She then took a little time to recap the antiviral, anti-glycemic, and cardiovascular benefits of Rhamnan sulfate found in certain seaweeds. The doctor then emphasized the importance of hot water extraction for seaweed and mushrooms as dried powders to increase bioavailability of beneficial compounds. In response to another email, Dr. Dawn addressed green tea's interaction with iron which binds and prevents absorption and its potential impact on EGCG's antioxidant properties. This lead to a brief reassuring discussion about internet memes around the safety of tea consumption and debunking concerns about lead contamination in most commercial teas. We then heard about the potential link between a common artificial fragrance Musk Ambrette, which is implicated in causing early puberty in girls as young as 9 years old. Dr. Dawn briefly comments on the need for a new economic model to address the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and the need for new antibiotics. A discussion on so-called anti-nutrients in foods, including lectins, oxalates, and phytates, and their actual impact on health. The importance of cooking methods in reducinganti-nutrients and increasing mineral availability in foods. The potential benefits of phytoestrogens, particularly from soy, in reducing cancer risk for young women. The risks associated with processed and convenience foods, particularly regarding microplastics. In response to a telephone question, the doctor gave some strategies for managing herpes outbreaks and its potential long-term effects on brain health. She also emphasized the importance of sleep and exercise for longevity and overall health.

You might not realize it, but detoxing estrogen is a big deal when it comes to your health. In this episode, I'm breaking down how the foods you eat—especially those rich in plant compounds like resveratrol and sulforaphane—can really support your hormone pathways and help your body detoxify. I also talk about how your gut health (yep, your microbiome) plays a key role in estrogen metabolism and why making smart food choices can have a long-lasting impact.   I'll also share how the Nrf2 pathway helps protect you from estrogen-driven cancer growth. Plus, we're getting real about how regular exercise, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and specific nutrients can lower your breast cancer risk. I know this stuff can feel overwhelming, but I'm breaking it all down into easy-to-understand tips you can start using right away to support your liver and keep your hormones in check.   If you've been feeling a little off lately, I've got you covered—take my FREE Hormone Quiz to find out what's going on with your body.

For this episode, I interviewed Dr. Neal Barnard about phytoestrogens and the WAVS study, in which participants reduced their hot flashes by eating boiled soybeans and following a vegan diet.  Dr. Neal Barnard is an adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, hormonal symptoms, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institute of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. His latest book is The Power Foods Diet, the Breakthrough Plan that Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss. You will learn: What are phytoestrogens and how they help with menopause How phytoestrogens interact with the body compared to hormone replacement therapy How the participants of the WAVS study prepared their soybeans How phytoestrogens affect PCOS and endometriosis How the hormones in dairy products affect women during menopause Is it safe for men to consume soy? How the Power Foods Diet helped participants lose weight without added exercise Dr. Barnard's tips for balancing hormones.

Listener question: “Is flaxseed good or bad for endo? There is so much mixed info out there about it around increasing / decreasing eostrogen. Is there a better type of flaxseed - oil, roasted seeds, ground seeds, tablets high in flax?” Okay, I'm glad you asked this question because it comes up a lot and it's not a straightforward answer. Flax is a type of phytoestrogen. A phytoestrogen is a type of plant compound which chemically is similar to oestrogen but isn't a form of oestrogen and due to the similar structures, phytoestrogens can bind to oestrogen receptors in the body. When people hear this, they worry and think that means that it'll increase oestrogen levels, when typically, the opposite is true. Phytoestrogens do not have the same strength as oestrogen, their oestrogenic effects are much weaker than oestrogen, so in theory, by binding to an oestrogen receptor, they are blocking real oestrogen levels, which is great if you're someone who struggles with oestrogen dominance or high oestrogen levels.

We are currently travelling, working remotely, and within 24 hours of arriving in Montenegro, we met Jelly. He was extremely thin, with a distended stomach and a little lollypop head and bulging eyes. We took him to the vets where he was put on an IV drip for dehydration, and treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for a bacterial infection that has spread into his bloodstream from his intestines. His intestines are damaged due to excessive worms, which has caused him to become malnourished.  The vets have given us a very stark picture of the reality. If Jelly goes back on the streets, his condition will deteriorate and he will suffer until he eventually passes away. We have been told to find him a home where he can continue getting care or put him to sleep. We have found him a foster home and a forever home in the UK, but the total cost is over £1200. We have already spent hundreds on vet visits getting him to this point, and need your help, if you can. If you are able to and want to support, you can donate and read Jelly's full story on our Go Fund Me page. I truly cannot express how much your support means to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This episode is sponsored by Semaine.

Let's talk about benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. This means a person has an enlarged prostate gland. Symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia: • Frequent urination (especially at night) • A weak stream • Dribbling after urination • A sensation that you can't fully empty your bladder Excess estrogen increases the size of the prostate. Estrogen also increases prolactin, which can increase the size of the prostate. Estrogen is a byproduct of testosterone in both females and males. To convert testosterone to estrogen, you need an enzyme called aromatase. The testicles and fat cells make aromatase. Phytoestrogens can mimic estrogen, but not very much. To shrink the prostate naturally, we want to inhibit aromatase to decrease estrogen production. Top things that increase aromatase: • Age • Body fat • Insulin • High-carb diets • Alcohol • Whole grains • Hormone replacement therapy • Birth control pills Things that decrease aromatase: • Cruciferous vegetables • White button mushrooms (sautéed) • Flaxseed • Green tea • Citrus peel In addition to losing weight with Healthy Keto®, reducing insulin, and consuming cruciferous vegetables, you can try a fantastic natural remedy for an enlarged prostate that involves citrus peel. The best natural remedy to support prostate health: Add a whole lemon and a glass of water to a blender, and blend it for about 30 seconds. Then, blend again with about five to ten drops of liquid stevia or 1/2 to 1 cup of blueberries. You can have this at any time of day—enjoy!

Phytoestrogens... What are they? How do they work? Are they helpful or harmful? Honestly, these questions are more complicated to answer than they seem, even though researchers have been diving into this topic for decades. In the end, the basics are that phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that act similarly to estrogens in our bodies. But they're milder acting than our natural estrogens so on the one hand they can reduce the effect of estrogen in our bodies when they bind to receptors (so can be helpful in excess estrogen conditions for example) but they can also encourage a mild estrogenic activity when we are in an estrogen deficient state (like say, perimenopause or post-menopause).That said, not all phytoestrogens are equal, and actually there's even some new research showing that the makeup of our gut microbiome may have some effect on whether or not phytoestrogenic compounds have any benefit in our bodies. They're even being researched in estrogen-dependent cancer situations to act potentially as SERMs (or selective estrogen receptor modulator) type compounds. But all the current research aside, what benefits might they have in your body?And what kinds of plants are even included in this category?Listen in to learn:what phytoestrogens arehow phytoestrogens workwhat makes these plant compounds a bit complicatedhow phytoestrogens help to modulate estrogen levelshow phytoestrogens can reduce menopausal symptomsthe latest on phytoestrogens and cancerwhen you might want to avoid taking phytoestrogensa few phytoestrogenic herbs and simple ways to work with them Resources:FREE GUIDE: 10 essential herbs for your hormonal healthToday's shownotes: Get all the nerdy references here!Episode 18: Herbal uterine tonicsEpisode 30: 5 pillars of hormonal health the herbal wayEpisode 37: Easing into menopause with Dana LaVoieEpisode 58: How does your gut health relate to your hormones?If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

If you've begun your menopause journey, you've probably had to deal with hot flashes by now. When they first start, they can certainly take you by surprise, especially since the experience of them can vary a lot from person to person. But however they show up, they are always uncomfortable and disruptive. In this episode, I'm going to break down what is happening in your body (more specifically in your brain) when hot flashes strike. I'll also share what foods you might be eating or drinking that can impact how often you have them, as well as simple (and tasty) foods you can eat to support the rollercoaster of hormone changes in this age and stage of lifeLooking for a place to learn more about midlife, menopause nutrition, and intuitive eating?

Should I eat soy?  This is a really common question I get asked all the time and in a word – YES! Why? Because soy contains phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens get their name because they exert a weak estrogen-like effect, but they are NOT estrogen.  Phytoestrogens bind so weakly to estrogen receptors and can have a mild balancing effect. They will increase the effect when estrogen levels are low, so very beneficial after menopause – and they have a lowering effect if estrogen is too high, which can also be beneficial for symptoms of estrogen excess during perimenopause. Phytoestrogens occur in plant foods such as nuts, seeds, wholegrains and legumes. In moderate amounts they are healthy. In a large amount, they can make periods lighter and sometimes suppress ovulation. The best known phytoestrogens are lignans from flaxseeds and isoflavones from soy. In this episode, we will be discussing the potential health benefits and risks of soy and phytoestrogens and provide practical tips for incorporating them into a healthy diet.   Links and Resources You can follow The Hormone Hub podcast over on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, Amazon or wherever you're listening right now.

Phytoestrogens = “plant” estrogens.These compounds attract quite a bit of controversy, almost as much as the lectins, oxalates, phytates, and goitrogens we've talked about previously.Here are direct links to episodes on...Oxalates - Episode 365Lectins - Episode 366Phytates - Episode 368Goitrogens - Episode 369First things first. The term “phytoestrogen” is actually a bit of a misnomer. These compounds are actually not “estrogens” but more accurately “estrogen receptor modulators.” This means they can bind to estrogen receptors to elicit a number of different effects.There are a number of different plant compounds that are classified as “phytoestrogens.” Far and away the most potent of them are the isoflavones like genestein found in soy. Other compounds include lignans, a type of polyphenol highest in flax, stilbenes like resveratrol found in grapes, and coumestans like coumestrol found in Brussel sprouts, spinach, all legumes, and many other foods.These fancy-named compounds are all, in a word, “phytonutrients.” When we eat these compounds present in our plant foods our bodies, with the help of the microbes in our gut, respond in all sorts of ways. In today's episode, we do our best to cover the latest science as it relates to the “plant estrogen” compounds in both male and female bodies.Spoiler alert - phytoestrogen consumption does not cause female reproductive cancer, nor does it cause men to grow “man boobs!”Episode Highlights“Phytoestrogens” could more appropriately be called “estrogen receptor modulators” as they do not promote “estrogenic” activity in the body, but simply bind and change conformation of estrogen receptorsIsoflavone and lignan compounds are transformed by gut microbes as well as various fermentation methods such as Korean cheonggukjang, Japanese natto, or Thai ThuaOnly about 20-30% of Westerners have the gut bugs to convert isoflavones to that active estrogen modulating compound, equol, compared to ~60% of Asians, but eating more plants foods feeds specific microbes that facilitate the gut fermentation processes.Consumption of phytoestrogen rich foods can reduce menopausal symptoms and risk of cardiovascular disease risk, obesity, diabetes, dementia and various cancersThere is ZERO evidence to suggest that eating phytoestrogen rich foods interferes with male hormones Links to some more good stuff- SPRING CLEANSE Starts April 7th - Join now and save $20! www.alter.health/cleanse- ALL NEW EAT MORE, WEIGH LESS PROGRAM - www.alter.health/eat-more-weigh-less- 1-on-1 Nutritional Analysis Package - www.alter.health/nutritional-analysis - Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: www.alter.health/meal-guides- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants

There is a lot of debate and controversy when it comes to nutrition. Many of us are entrenched in our diet camps and with that, some nutrients are unfairly vilified. One such nutrient is phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are chemical compounds found in plants that can stimulate and block estrogen receptors in the body – a concept that is poorly misunderstood. In today's episode, we talk about phytoestrogens and their metabolic function. Should they be classified as anti-nutrients? Are they dangerous or protective? Today on 3:20 Phytoestrogens and anti-nutrients 5:07 Types of phytoestrogens and common food sources 7:55 Are we actually eating estrogen? 9:30 Constituent vs. whole plant 12:00 Hormone-related risks and PMS 13:32 Cardiovascular disease 14:30 Logical Speculation – Just eat food 17:00 Tumors, bone, brain, and skin   Subscribe, Rate, & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.

For this episode, Tomo sits down solo to discuss the downfall of masculinity in the Western world. Tomo breaks down every element that is contributing to men getting weaker, and the detriment it causes on society as a whole. It's not about men and women not having equal rights. It's about recognizing that it is natural for men to be masculine and it's natural for women to be feminine. Tomo dives into the differences between men and women, and why they compliment each other. He discusses why good times create weak men, and the lack of male role models for men. Tomo then gets into the negative impact from p*rn and instant gratification online. To wrap up, he examines the femininity of men through phytoestrogens in our environment.

We're talking about reproductive hormones and the endocrine system in this finale episode of our "Head to Toe" series on the podcast - a conversation relevant to men and women! This is another HUGE topic. We've covered a lot of huge topics on the podcast in hopes of distilling lots of complexity into some easy to digest simple concepts.When it comes to hormones and the endocrine system, the super cool thing is that the interconnected hormonal systems balances itself!Micromanaging various hormones is difficult... maybe even impossible. But the good news is that we don't need to think about our hormones this way. We can rather relate to our hormones as a flow of innate intelligence and then ask ourselves, how can we remove obstacles to allow for more harmonious flow?The obstacles that interfere with reproductive hormones to cause PMS/menstrual issues, infertility, and menopausal symptoms include nutritional deficiency, toxicity/liver stagnation, nervous system imbalance (i.e. stress).Enjoy this conversation as you uncover the specific obstacles that may be unbalancing your hormone levels. Some highlights from today's episode on Reproductive Hormones...The exogenous hormones in ALL animal products - especially eggs and dairy, even those products that are "hormone free" - and how they  imbalance our human hormone levelsSources of xenohormones in chemicals, plastics, and processed foods that can directly elevate estrogen levels (not to be confused with "phytoestrogens"!)Phytoestrogens are compounds in soy, flax, red clover, and other foods/herbs that can modulate estrogen receptors to help balance estrogen dominance (or estrogen deficiency)The liver-menopause connection and how the menopausal hormone shift can  overwhelm liver detox pathways to cause various symptomsWhy it's essential to be grounded with a balanced autonomic nervous system (more parasympathetic activity) to support the balancing and harmony of all endocrine organsLinks to some more good stuff- Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: https://www.alter.health/meal-guides- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants- ATTN Health Practitioners!

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ The list of the factors that bind T so you can't use it and those that produce estrogens block free testosterone in both men and women of all ages. The list of lifestyle choices and is much longer than the list of factors you can use to stimulate testosterone. Soy in many foods: It is a fact that foods that are processed have many “fillers” that are invisible to the person eating them. These fillers are often the culprit decreasing naturally produced testosterone levels and available or active T called free T.   The biggest problem at the present is the addition of soy to nearly every processed food, even ice cream.  Soy is a phytoestrogen.  Phyto Estrogens in food (not medical estrogen) act as a female hormone, limiting the effectiveness of testosterone and the production of T.    To avoid soy in everything you eat, you must do two things: 1. Eat basic meals cooked by you or a family member from fresh foods that do not include canned or processed foods, and 2. you have to look at the label and only buy products without soy.  Currently there are only 2 brands of ice cream that don't add soy. Soy gives men a “Beer Belly” and all other foods with soy will also increase the fat collection in the abdominal area of both sexes. Soy is the primary proteins of vegans and therefore it is consumed in large volume therefore has more of an effect on lowering free T and T levels.   Eating out of and microwaving in plastic containers (even drinking water out of plastic) causes our bodies to absorb the plastic chemical's estrogen. This does us no good and is a contaminant and toxin that we store in our body fat. It is the biggest enemy of T.  It is everywhere and is considered the leading cause of lowering the average T level of men aged 15-40.  It is everywhere so stop cooking in it and drinking from it when you can!  Don't eat out of plastic bags, or microwave plastic containers, or plastic bags with food in it.   Diabetes should be treated, and blood levels of sugar should be kept in control as low as possible for type 2 diabetes.   Omega 6 fatty acids shrink the testes while the Omega 3 FA increase the activity of the testes   Dairy has inherent estrogen in it and animal feed often contains soy, and that makes the milk and meat higher in estrogen.     Trans Fats—Are in most processed foods. Chips, any snack food that is not dried fruit or nuts Commercial baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, and pies.   Microwave popcorn. Frozen pizza. Refrigerated dough, such as biscuits and rolls. Fried foods, including french fries, doughnuts, and fried chicken. Nondairy coffee creamer. Stick margarine.   Alcohol is a toxin and slows fat loss, damages the liver, and increases estrogen production in the liver, which inactivates testosterone.   Obesity is dangerous to us in so many ways. The mere fact of being obese increases our risk for multiple diseases, but fat also converts testosterone in to estrone and estradiol in both men and women.  The fatter a person is the less free testosterone he or she has.   Being a Couch Potatoe. being inactive, is deadly for testosterone production and free Testosterone. Inactivity increases fat production and estrogen production.  Moderate exercise every day is the answer!   Over activity causes an increase in SHBG which binds testosterone. Marathoners and professional athletes run the risk of binding their good total testosterone so that it is not free to bind to Testosterone receptors.   Fasting can cause increase in free testosterone by increasing SHBG. Humans were built to eat small amounts often, and eating one meal a day increases SHBG, that inactivates free T.   Licorice root (in black licorice), Ashwaghanda and all mint family herbs even basil decrease active Testosterone blood levels.   Phytoestrogens are in many women's natural supplements that are touted to decrease hot flashes. They only provide minimal relief, but also increase fat gain and estrone levels that cause inactivity of testosterone.   Medications can lower the testosterone levels in both men and women   Oral contraceptives increase estrone so much that they inactivate testosterone and suppress FSH and LH that stimulated the production of T from the ovary. Oral menopausal ERT and HRT binds up T and causes decrease of all of the benefits of T from replacement and natural T production however minimal after menopause. Finasteride and Dutasteride given to prevent hair loss or prostate enlargement causes a decrease of DHT to a point where sex drive, erectile function and muscle mass are impaired. Arimidex can cause an increase in testicular production of T, but in a small production of men and women it can inactivate the receptors for DHT and T. As the research about testosterone progress, we will find more and more lifestyle issues that decrease T total and T free levels that can interfere with normal production of T and free T in both men and women.  As these are studied researched, we will update you on the issues you can base your lifestyle and medical treatments on.  

Beans and lentils are a midlife gal's best friend, and not just because they're a source of phytoestrogens! They're versatile, tasty, and a great source of fiber and protein.  But if adding them into your regular diet has been a challenge, Fiona will inspire you to give them a try! We had a great conversation about why Fiona's personal experience of going into medical menopause prompted her to cook with beans and lentils more often, how phytoestrogens may help some women manage the symptoms of menopause, why soy doesn't have to be feared and she shares her best tips for easy and delicious ways to enjoy them regularly. Fiona Staunton is a culinary tutor at Fiona's food for life,  She is a trained chef with a degree in education and inspires people to cook from scratch and nourish themselves and those around them.  Her six-week virtual cooking course aims to alleviate symptoms of menopause and perimenopause in women to improve their day-to-day lives through educated meal plans and nutritional recipes that the whole family will love.  She herself is in medically-induced menopause since 45 due to breast cancer, so HRT is not an option.  She makes cooking good food uncomplicated.
