5:03 How to balance estrogen and improve your mood

In this video, we’re going to take a look at the connection between estrogen, mood, and menopause.

There are 3 types of estrogen:
1. Estriol- primarily utilized during pregnancy, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer
2. Estrone- used in menopause, increases your risk for certain types of cancer
3. Estradiol- used for most women of childbearing age

After menopause, the adrenals take over in producing estrogen. If your adrenals are weak going into menopause, you may experience negative symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance like night sweats, hot flashes, and bone loss.

Low levels of estrogen have been linked to depression and anxiety. This can occur at the start of menstruation, during menopause, and at other points during the menstrual cycle. Similarly, depression and anxiety are also symptoms of high estrogen. Estrogen levels directly affect your mood and cognitive state.

Hormonal birth control is typically composed of synthetic estradiol, which convinces the hypothalamus that you’re pregnant and don’t need to ovulate. This can cause many complications including an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, headaches, and other health issues. If you also eat inorganic foods, smoke, and deal with significant stress, you can set yourself up for a lot of problems.

If you have liver damage or damage to the digestive system, you may have trouble removing excess estrogen from the body. The resulting high levels of estrogen can inhibit the function of your thyroid gland and impair your mood and cognitive function.

Here are 5 things that you can do to balance estrogen and improve your mood:
1. Choose organic foods
2. Do keto and intermittent fasting
3. Avoid dairy (Grass-fed can be okay for most people)
4. Ensure adequate iodine and boron intake
5. Increase intake of cruciferous vegetables
