9 Ways to Restore Hormonal Health ...

Thank you for posting this. I am on biest hormone cream and having a very tough time raising my progesterone. The cream has helped everything else get back in balance, but my progesterone is lower than it was 2 years ago when I started. I'm in hopes that these tips will help get me back into balance.

Hi, for 7 years I've had an ongoing battle with my hormones. Only of most recent though have I discovered it has been my hormones. I've suffered with seizures, that have always occurred come that time of the month. I've seen neurologists, cardiologist, several emergency rooms & alternative therapists - all of which said I'm a picture of health. Along with these specialists I've had every test possible from MRI's to Echo's, ECG's, blood tests etc again all of which had the result of picture of health. About 6 months ago I started seeing a naturopath with biofeedback technology, this has definately helped & reduced the frequency but not solved the problem. 7 years of this & I'm really over it, many a times I've wanted to give up; so many more things have come with it mainly the anxieties. According to my new naturopath I have a progesterone/testosterone dominance. The testosterone dominance is definately noticeable with my adult acne. I eat healthy, cut back on caffeine & soft drinks etc, followed every rule to prevent reoccurence, but there still haunting me. Have u any suggestions?

There is actually a zero tolerance policy on antibiotics in milk. And no, BST does not show up in the milk (even so, i buy my milk from a regular supermarket and i've never seen one that doesn't say "from cows not treated with rBGH). Antibiotics do show up in milk, but EVERY batch is tested for antibiotics before it is packaged and sold, and if any are detected, the owner of the cow that the tainted milk came from has to pay for the entire tank of milk out of pocket (not something a dairy farmer will want to do). This is something that is taken very very seriously in the dairy industry! Cows who have an infection that requires treatment with antibiotics are not allowed to produce milk for market until they are healthy again and the antibiotics are well out of their system. Yes, milk with antibiotics present would be unhealthy IF it was allowed to be sold. Thanks to strict regulations and testing, consumers don't have to worry about it. Writing whatever sounds good without bothering to confirm it via a reputable, legitimate source is quite a disservice to your readers. So do your research before you try to scare people out of eating things that are perfectly safe.

You MUST find a fiber supplement that is made from “functional” fibers, which is fiber that is isolated or extracted from plants or animals, with health benefits in humans. Psyllium is obviously the most effective in treating constipation and the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. I have tried the Lady Soma Fiber Cleanse (which has these "Function fibers"), and I completely love it. I use a bottle about every 1-2 months, and there are no side effects, and the price is amazing. Good luck hon!

Hi. Thanks for the tips. I would also recommend finding a doctor who will actually listen. Seems to be a rare thing. Before accepting any sort of diagnosis – get a cycle-long blood test. I just had 4 blood draws over 4 weeks and charted them with my MD. Before this, she diagnosed me with PCOS based on a couple symptoms that matched. After a week on drugs I said NO WAY and asked her to HEAR ME. She agreed to the blood tests – although I will likely pay out of pocket for 3 of them (insurance complaint a whole different blog…) I have high prolactin, high DHEA, low progesterone and up and down estrogen. After the blood tests, I have done one month of BIO-IDENTICAL oral progesterone. I have this in caps because this is very important. Synthetic hormones are not a good idea. I have been reading up on the industry and it turns out that drug companies make synthetic hormones intentionally so they are not identical to the hormones our bodies make. Why do they do this? Because this way they can patent the drug. They don’t care about our health – they care about being rich. After a month of the bio-identical progesterone days 14 – 28, fish oil all month, primrose oil days 14-28, dong quai days 21-28… I feel good. I was shocked at how peaceful my menses was this past month. I haven’t felt good in over a decade. More fine-tuning to come. With exercise and following the above list, I imagine I will actually feel liberated from the symptoms of imbalance. Cheers, Dhanna age 35
