Restore Women Youth

In this section, we will explain how women, including those on hormone replacement for perimenopause and menopause can reduce or eliminate symptoms related to aging: sexual arousal disorder, breast bloating, fat gain, anxiety, fatigue. We will also share with you the latest findings on how to reduce risk factors associated with cancer of the breast, uterus and ovaries.

Women can avoid the risk of cancer and use hormones sensibly to slow and reverse aging, improve skin, increase your energy, lean body firmness, regain sexual energy and reduce body fat. Certain proven herb combinations and the right form of natural hormones at the right dosages can get you the best results, as explained in the book Grow Young and Slim.

Cholesterol and then Pregnenolone make most Adrenal and sex hormones. They end up in nearly 40 different types of estrogen and androgen metabolites. Some of which are good and beneficial (2-hydroxyestrone).

Women need estrogens to function properly maintain healthy skin, hair, memory and lean firm bodies. However, too much of the estrogens such as 16-hydroxyestrone, Estradiol, Estriol, Estrone are harmful because they are unmetabolized and they reportedly tend to increase the risk of certain diseases (breast, cervical, uterine cancer in women. An excess build up of bad estrogen may cause many other negative side effects including obesity; mood changes, thinning of hair, excessive periods and endometriosis.

Prevent Cancer

There is an amazing discovery that indoles from certain vegetables allow estrogen and all other hormones including DHEA, pregnenolone, progesterone and testosterone to safely metabolize (via the P 450 pathway) while providing youth restoring benefits and dramatically reducing the rate of cancer. We all need hormones as we age and people with the lowest hormone levels are at greatest risk for cancer. However we need the right kind of metabolized hormones. In fact these good hormones (2 OH-Estrone) actually help the body to search out mutate and old cells (apoptosis) and clear them from the body.

This may be why people who eat a vegetarian diet of mostly soy or vegetables (Green cabbage, napa cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts) have the lowest rates of cancer in the world (more on this later).

HORMONES HARMONY

Doctors have known about the need to manage some of the key hormones like thyroid or estrogen for years. They overlooked the intimate connection between all of the major hormones and how they relate to each other. Many people ask me why their doctor prescribed only estrogen and progesterone for women or testosterone for men.

Unfortunately aging can cause a loss of certain enzymes that provide the proper conversion from one hormone to another. So it is no longer enough to just take one or two hormones.

You must be tested for each of the major hormones (DHEA, testosterone, progesterone, Estradiol, DHT, cortisol, melatonin, growth hormone, pregnenolone and thyroid) and correct, balance and adjust any deficient levels on a regular basis if you're to successfully reverse many of the signs of aging. We start to age at 25 with many obvious signs and you will age in a healthy way by natural hormones and herbal support.

This is also why a woman who is only given estradiol hormone by her doctor will actually do much better if she is given a little bit of testosterone, thyroid, pregnenolone, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA and growth hormone. In this way she will need far less estrogen, and she will benefit from using the gentler form of plant phyto-estrogens, and herbs such as Black Cohosh and Chaste berry tree (Vitex agnus-castus).

A woman, who has symptoms of estrogen-deficiency such as vaginal dryness or vaginal atrophy, may just need estriol or estradiol cream applied directly to the vagina a few times a week. Females experiencing excessive hot flashes and night sweats, vaginal dryness leading to pain during sexual encounters, pre- mature wrinkled skin-especially around the upper lips, and chronic fatigue may have a true estrogen deficiency. Most of these symptoms may be alleviated if she takes smaller amounts of estradiol such as .25 mg up to 2.5 mg (E2) (doctor prescribed) used every day.

It is important to combine natural estradiol with other hormones such as progesterone

and herbs including chrysin, avena sativa and those from cruciferous vegetables such as diindolylmethane (DIM) in a cream form to metabolize the estrogen. Many women taking estrogen replacement, can reduce estradiol to very low dosages if they use the cream form of DIM herbs. Many women taking estradiol will also need progesterone and DHEA to get the right balance.

You must add DIM, Chrysin and various herbs as found in Strength Energy to offset estrogen buildup.

A female past the age of 40 still may have large amounts of the bad type of unmetabolized estrogen, especially if she is above her ideal body fat level. This happens because the body already has too much estrogen stored from years of accumulation in body fat and external sources from the environment.

Estrogen is measured in picograms (1,000 th of one nanogram), therefore estrogens effects on the body can be nearly 1,000 times more potent than progesterone (which is measured in nanograms)!

It may appear from the test result that your estrogen level is too low based on the number as compared to progesterone or testosterone. However, because estrogen is so much more potent than other hormones, even slightly less estrogen is able to dominate progesterone. Worse yet, as we age when progesterone declines, even though estrogen levels also decline, the body is over- whelmed in women living in the western world.

Herbs work to reduce bad estrogen metabolites

A large amount of recent clinical evidence suggests that women benefit from indoles, avena sativa, chrysin and testosterone gel with progesterone as well as men do. Women who have estrogen dominance, PMS, extreme mood changes, high or low testosterone or a tendency towards obesity can also benefit from the use of multiple herbs, plant extracts and diet change advocated by Grow Young and Slim.

This same hormone imbalance in women can cause them to experience decreased energy, loss of body tone, obesity, depression and declining libido. A new agreement among anti aging physicians is that we must help men and women to reduce the dominate type of bad estrogen metabolites (16 alpha hydroxyestrone) while increasing testosterone.

It would be advisable to add a supplement derived from cruciferous vegetables DIM- (Diindolylmethane) to get the proper conversion to the good estrogen and the removal of the bad estrogens (4,506). DIM does not decrease estrogen production nor does it limit estrogen activity in the brain. The phyochemical structure of DIM is related to serotonin, melatonin and tryptophan.

Bad and Good Estrogen Metabolites

Aging, lack of exercise and a high fat diet can cause a high level of estrogen and low levels of progesterone, testosterone and DHT. When the balance of unmetabolized estrogen gets too high in relationship to testosterone or progesterone a danger occurs in women experience decrease energy, loss of firm body tone, obesity, depression and declining libido.

Women starting at the age of 12 and beyond past menopause can experience "estrogen domi- nance" (too much bad estrogen) and not enough testosterone, progesterone, thyroid, cortisol or DHEA as they age. Although women experience some decrease of total estrogens with age, they also have a drastic drop in all of the hormones that maintain the delicate balance of protection.

Herbs, a diet high in vegetables and fruit, exercise and added various hormones can make you look and feel youthful again. Certain herbs and plant extracts such as Diindolylmethane, Carboxy indole-3-Carbinol (cruciferous vegetables) and consuming more cabbage, kale, broccoli and brussel sprouts can stop the build up of too much estrogen in women. Chrysin (passion flower) in cream may be effective in reducing estrogen dominance. Avena sativa increases the free testosterone that is the active beneficial type needed for youthful function.

It has been reported in the medical literature that by adding a dermal cream with DIM that supplies ingredients from cruciferous vegetables, you can improve the ratio of good (2-hydroxyestrone) to bad (16-alpha-hydroxyestrone) estrogen.

The special ingredient in the dermal cream, Supreme Energy is found in the same category of Brassica cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Kale, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauli-flower, bok choy, turnips, rutabaga, mustard, kohlrabi). This can dramatically reduce the risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer in women.

An Italian study reported by Muti on 5,000 people covering a 20 year period, concluded that the women with the highest levels of protective 2-hydroxyestrone had absolutely  the lowest rate of breast cancer. Epidemiology 11( 6)635-40, 2000

We can accomplish the same beneficial ratio of good to bad estrogens using DIM and other herbs found in "Strength Energy". We now use liposomes to encapsulate the key ingredients and deliver the potency needed to correct poor hormonal metabolism.
