    The Top 5 High Estrogen Foods to Avoid

    In this video, Dr. Axe walks us plastic-bottle through the five top foods to avoid that are highest in estrogen. High estrogen foods can be really harmful to your health by destroying your hormone balance. A lot of these foods with too much estrogen today can lead to health issues like hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, and ovarian cancer. So, eliminate the following foods from your diet, and add more fruits and vegetables to naturally decrease estrogen in your body.

    Foods to avoid:
    1.) Soy
    2.) Sugar
    3.) Conventional meat
    4.) Conventional dairy
    5.) BPA plastic and Teflon Pans

    If you want to start detoxing your body of estrogen, consume more cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. Also milk thistle and dandelion supplements are great to support your body in the detox from estrogen as well.

  • Physical Activity Assists With Mood Management

    Physical Activity Assists With Mood Management

    Aerobic exercises, including:

    • Jogging
    • Swimming
    • Cycling
    • Walking
    • Gardening
    • Dancing

    have been proved to reduce anxiety and depression.

    These improvements in mood are proposed to be caused by exercise induced increase in blood circulation to the brain and by an influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and, thus, on the physiologic reactivity to stress.

    This physiologic influence is probably mediated by the communication of the HPA axis with several regions of the brain, including the limbic system, which controls motivation and mood; the amygdala, which generates fear in response to stress; and the hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation.

    If you are someone who hasn’t been exercising regularly and would like to get back on track, “Couch to 5K” is a good way to start building stamina for jogging…

  • Allow Your Ant To Be As Big As Your Elephant

    Allow Your Ant To Be As Big As Your Elephant

    My dear friend Bev Wagner shared last week in her Webinar about the ant and the elephant.  I posted the link to her Webinar but I wanted to be sure that people could see this story and try to apply it to their lives.

    In The Ant and the Elephant, renowned business strategist and Olympian, Vince Poscente, describes in a great metaphor for what happens in our mental process and how we can make adjustments if we empower ourselves with regards to awareness of our subconscious and it’s impact on our choices. It is based on research that Dr. Lee Pulos, Ph.D. conducted on the ratio between conscious and subconscious mind where he found that the subconscious mind was in much greater control of our thinking process.  He found that the conscious mind processes with 2000 neurons, while the subconscious mind processes with 4 billion neurons.

    Adir the visionary ant and Elgo the causious elephant must work together as a single creature in order to reach the Oasis, their vision of paradise in the African savannah.  The ant represents the conscious mind in his story.  The elephant represents the subconscious mind.

    The point is that even though the elephant may have the majority of input and is designed to protect us, we need to allow the ant to be heard as well or we could hinder ourselves from making any movement towards our goals.

  • What to do about chlorine exposure?

    What to do about chlorine exposure?

    The best scenario is to swim in ozone or salt water pools.  However, most people can’t choose what their health clubs use in their pools.  Try to talk with the management anyway.  The more people who bring up these concerns the better.  There are many problems that chlorine exposure can cause.  Rashes, breathing issues etc…  chlorine

    Chlorine competes for the iodine receptors in organs like the thymus, thus depriving them of this necessary element.

    To combat effects of iodine replacement in the thymus: dōTERRA®‘s GX Assist® .  This is a proprietary combination of Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils and caprylic acid, that help support a healthy digestive tract by creating an unfriendly environment for potentially harmful pathogens that can disrupt digestive immunities and cause digestive upset.  GX Assist is formulated with therapeutic-grade Oregano, Melaleuca, Lemon, Lemongrass, Peppermint and Thyme essentials oils that have been demonstrated to have in-vitro antimicrobial properties.  GX Assist also includes caprylic acid that has been traditionally used as for its specific health-supporting properties in the gut.

    To repopulate the “good” flora removed by the GX Assist – dōTerra PB Assist+ Probiotic Defense Formula is a proprietary blend of pre-biotic fiber and six strains of probiotic microorganisms in a unique double-layer vegetable capsule delivering 5 billion CFUs of active probiotic cultures and soluble pre-biotic FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) that encourages culture adhesion and growth. The time-release double-capsule delivery system protects sensitive probiotic cultures from stomach acid. PB Assist+ supports healthy digestive functions and immunities and is safe for use by all members of your family.

    And to provide an added “boost” to everything being used – doTERRA’s EO Mega is a unique formula of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils Clove, Frankincense, Thyme, cumin, Wild Orange, Peppermint, Ginger, and German Chamomile, and a proprietary blend of marine and land- sourced omega fatty acids from flaxseed, pomegranate seed, evening primRose, cranberry seed, and concentrated fish oils. Omega fatty acids have been shown to support healthy joint function and brain health.

    A daily dose of EO Mega provides 1 gram of marine oils, 1 gram of land oils, and 60 mg of the EO Mega essential oil blend. It uses only clean and pure sources of concentrated fish oils and is enteric coated to prevent the fishy return of inferior omega fatty acid products.

    To remove heavy metal contaminates that can be caused by spending long times in a pool:  8 drops of dōTERRA Cilantro oil in a capsule once a day.

    For hypothalamus issues: dōTERRA’s Lemongrass oil.  This oil, along with dōTERRA’s Balance, Frankincense, Geranium applied to the throat has shown to be effective.
