Menopause Diet Therapy

Try and avoid all the foods that stress the ovaries and the body centers that support and process hormones.

Avoid completely:

1. caffeine

2. black tea

3. colas

4. weight loss pills

5. herbal energy stimulants

These directly suppress hormone production. The action of all stimulants, including stress, reduces ovarian function.

In addition, foods rich in hard fats will interfere with the liver's ability to supply the ovaries with the raw materials necessary to produce hormones.

Stay away from:

fried foods

chips

bacon,pork

fatty cuts of beef

mono and di-glycerides

hydrogenated oils

peanuts, nuts

pastries, doughnuts

Menopause Pituitary Compensation Treatment

Since the pituitary gland is overactive to compensate for the lack of estrogen and progesterone, the rationale of treatment is to correct the deficient ovaries so the pituitary can return to normal. Some products are available only to a naturally-oriented physician and need to be prescribed. When I treat my patients I will muscle test them to see what they need.

1. EstroPlex (pchoiceline.com): supports the ovaries in producing hormones.
2. Ovatone (pchoiceline.com): stabilizes the pituitary and supports the ovaries to produce better hormones.
3. Ovex or Ovex P (standardprocess.com): both of these products improve the production of progesterone.
4. Ovatrophin PMG (standardprocess.com): assists in the production of estrogens. This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
5. Natural Hormone supplementation (phytoestrogens): These are used when the ovarian deficiency is greater than the nutritional support can correct.	ask your alternative practitioner
6. PhytoEst Creme (professionalformulas.com) This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
7.. Progesterone K-20 (apexenergetics.com)
8. Dong Quai : This Chinese herb is believed to contain ingredients similar to estrogen. Research has not verified this, however. It does help some women with their menopausal symptoms, but the results are inconsistent.
9. Chaste Tree : Improves the quality of pituitary function by stimulating LH and reducing FSH production. For this reason progesterone levels in the body can be increased with the use of Chaste Tree.
10. Kava Kava : Has a calming effect on the pituitary and the mood.
11. Black Cohosh (cimicufuga racemosa): Probably the best known herb for menopausal disorders and specifically hot flushes. Its primary influence is on the ovaries and uterus. There is also literature that claims Black Cohosh improves LH production with subsequent progesterone increases.
12. Shatavari : The name itself means "she who possesses 100 husbands." Shatavari is a traditional Ayurvedic herb used to promote healthy hormone production.
13. Hops (Bryonia): Hops (beer) is good for women, much more so than for men, because of its estrogenic and relaxing properties. Be responsible whenever comsuming alcohol.
14. Soy Isoflavones : phytoestrogen effect.

FAQ

A. To share possibilities. Not all Doctors are aware of these treatments, and this is a way that they could be exposed to them through their patients. Plus who better to research possibilities than the ones who are experiencing the symptoms!

Q. Why is it so important to have my Doctor approve and monitor me with these treatments?

A. Because everyone is different. For example some people are taking supplements and medications already that could be adversely affected by anything new. Under the care of your health practitioner you will have someone to answer any questions that you may have. They can also change or alter your therapies as you change and progress.

Q. I am already taking some of these supplements. If I just take more of them would that work?

A. Taking more of anything does not necessarily make it work better! In fact it could make everything worse! Another reason to be monitored by your health practitioner.

A. You need to look at why he or she is saying that. It could be for a good reason. You also could get other opinions from other Doctors.

A: There are many other options in this list besides hops that you can pursue through your Doctor. By no means will everything on this list be right for anyone. There is more hops in darker beers, and if there are non alcoholic varieties available, you could experiment. Please use caution and discuss it with your health care professional first! And remember more is not always better!

Q. I'm not old enough to be going through menopause. But I have some of the symptoms sets. Should I still ask my Doctor to look into these therapies?

A. Absolutely! There are many reasons why our hormones may need support. These very same treatments could still work for you.

Menopause Liver Compensation Treatment

As is the case with all hormonal compensation treatments it is important to first correct the deficient ovaries. Some products are available only to a naturally-oriented physician.

1. EstroPlex (pchoiceline.com): supports the ovaries in producing hormones.
2. Ovatone (pchoiceline.com): stabilizes the pituitary and supports the ovaries to produce better hormones.
3. Ovex or Ovex P (standardprocess.com): both of these products improve the production of progesterone. These products need to be ordered through your health practitioner.
4. Ovatrophin PMG (standardprocess.com): assists in the production of estrogens. This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
5. Natural Hormone supplementation (phytoestrogens). These are used when the ovarian deficiency is greater than the nutritional support can correct.	*ask your alternative health practitioner
6. PhytoEst Cream (professionalformulas.com) This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
7. Progesterone K-20 (apexenergetics.com)
8. Dong Quai : This Chinese herb is believed to contain ingredients similar to estrogen. Research has not verified this, however. It does help some women with their menopausal symptoms, but the results are inconsistent. The tincture needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
9. Maca : I have found Maca to be one of the most effective of herbs for increasing liver management of the raw materials necessary for the ovary's production of hormones. It also stimulates the section of the ovary responsible for producing eggs (ovum) and estrogens.
10. Black Cohosh (cimicufuga racemosa): Probably the best known herb for menopausal disorders and specifically hot flushes. Its primary influence is on the ovaries and uterus.
11. Soy Isoflavones : phytoestrogen effect. A patient called me stating that she had a horrendous bladder infection. Since most bladder infections are caused poor estrogen availability to the lining of the bladder, I instructed her to take some soy isoflavones. She called back to inform me that her bladder infection was gone by the next day.
12. Hops (Bryonia): Yes, it is true. Hops (beer) is good for women, much more so than for men, because of its estrogenic and relaxing properties. Be responsible whenever consuming alcohol.

Q. I'm only 25, and my Doctor says that I am going through menopause. Is this possible?

A. Yes. There are many reasons that you can go through menopause early. Certain medications can cause this, or if you have had your ovaries or uterus removed. If you are unsure if the diagnosis is accurate, get more opinions from other health care practitioners!

Q. I've heard that soy is good for female hormones. Can I just eat soy, instead of taking the soy isoflavones?

Q. Can I take a supplement that has several of the herbs that you have listed and some that you haven't?

A. Again you need to consult your health care practitioner about the specific supplement that you are interested in. Dr. Easley says that it is generally okay to take a broad spectrum (one that has a variety of general things) type of supplement in the beginning of treatment. And then as the patient improves, it is usually better to switch to specific things that the body needs to move to the next level of health.

Here's some cultural exclamations...

Menopause Liver Estriol Compensation Treatment

Estriol is one of the three primary estrogens. The highest levels of estriol occur during pregnancy when it is being made by the placenta. The liver also has the ability to convert circulating stress and androgens into estriol. When estrogens are deficient, the liver can produce even more estriol. Estriol is a hormone that is responsible for producing structural tissue upon which functional cells can live. It creates structural fiber. To treat this condition requires normalizing the estrogen production as described above for liver compensations and then treating the liver itself.

1. Lipaliv: (pchoiceline.com) For irritability, obstinacy, and stubbornness.
2. Nattokinase : If there are fibroids present.
3. Enzyme Pro (pchoiceline.com) or Woboplex (pchoiceline.com): These are enzymes that assist in dissolving fibroids, fibromas and thickened tissues.

Menopause Adrenal Cortex Compensation Treatment

The adrenal cortex can increase its production of testosterone, estrogen, or pregnenelone to make up for a deficient production of hormones by the ovaries. As is the case with all menopausal conditions, it is essential to first try and normalize the ovaries. As the ovaries improve, or as the hormones are increased with replacement therapy, the adrenal cortex compensation will begin to decline. As it does there are additional treatments which can be included to assist in the elimination of the 'heavier' hormones produced by the adrenal cortex compensation.

1. EstroPlex (pchoiceline.com): supports the ovaries in producing hormones.
2. Ovatone (pchoiceline.com): stabilizes the pituitary and supports the ovaries to produce better hormones.
3. Ovex or Ovex P (standardprocess.com): both of these products improve the production of progesterone These products need to be ordered through your health practitioner.
4. Ovatrophin PMG (standardprocess.com): assists in the production of estrogens Natural Hormone supplementation (phytoestrogens). These are used when the ovarian deficiency is greater than the nutritional support can correct. This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
5. PhytoEst Creme (professionalformulas.com) This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
6. Progesterone K-20 (apexenergetics.com)
7. Shatavari : The name itself means "she who possesses 100 husbands." That pretty much says it all, doesn't it? Shatavari is a traditional Ayurvedic herb used to promote healthy hormone production. It is also claimed to be a libido enhancer.
8. Soy Isoflavones : phytoestrogen effect.
9. Dong Quai : This Chinese herb is believed to contain ingredients similar to estrogen. Research has not verified this, however. It does help some women with their menopausal symptoms, but the results are inconsistent. The tincture needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
10. Lecithin: Either Lecithin Capsules or Lecithin Granules , lecithin helps to thin bile so spent estrogens can be eliminated. It also provides the adrenal cortex with the basic raw material to produce a better hormone.
11. Hops (Bryonia): Yes, it is true. Hops (beer) is good for women, much more so than for men, because of its estrogenic and relaxing properties. Be responsible when drinking alcohol.

Snow: Hello! Welcome to today's Chit Chat Webview! We've got a great show today, we will be interviewing Menopause herself. She's a power to be reckoned with and I am very excited!

So Menopause, welcome! I am so happy that you took the time to be here today.

Menopause: The time has come Snow. You know, I am a little hot right now, you'd better stand back or else you might melt! Ha!

Snow: Oh, you've got a great sense of humor Pause. Can I call you Pause?

Menopause: (pause) Sure thing!

Snow: Pause, do you consider yourself a rite of passage?

Menopause: By all means. I am the doorway into the next phase of life for a woman. Getting there usually involves some trials.

Snow: What is the prize on the other side?

Menopause: There are prizes all along the way. When I give the pushes and the shoves a lot of goodies are uncovered.

Snow: Sounds interesting. Do you know where you will take a woman beforehand, or is it a journey for you too?

Menopause: We journey together. With free will, life is always full of surprises.

Snow: What do you think of Dr. Easley's treatments?

Menopause: I think they're great! When taken at the right place in the right amount, they can take a lot of trial out of the changes, and make our trip more fun.

Snow: Do you ever get tired of being feared and loathed?

Menopause: Hey, not everyone feels that way! After all I take away the highly loathed period!

Snow: Speaking of that, knowing what you know now, would you rather be Menarche (the onset of the menstrual period) or would you keep your job as Menopause?

Menopause: Menopause hands down! I usually get women that are in the prime time of their life. They are seasoned with experiences in love and life. And they have this wonderful perspective that is so fun to be a part of! When we journey together it is sometimes scary and emotional, but I can feel the fiber of their strength and it gives me strength. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Snow: So is there anything that you would like to say to our readers today about what happens after you're done with them?

Menopause Thyroid Inefficiency Treatment

I have learned from clinical experience that more than half of the women who enter menopause develop some form of thyroid problem. A thyroid disorder can begin around menopause because of the pituitary's dominant interest in assisting the ovaries. They can also develop because substitute estrogens that are produced by a compensation gland can interfere with the thyroid hormone transport protein (thyroid binding globulin-TBG). This can also happen from liver stress of managing poor quality estrogens which in turn reduces the production of TBG. When these factors result in a thyroid inefficiency, the quality of thyroid hormone being produced is not 100% effective. To remedy this situation, the thyroid will receive periodic boosts from the pituitary increasing thyroid hormone levels and causing the characteristic "wired and tired" sensations. This period of over activity causes multiple thoughts, being easily bored, a distaste for small talk, and multiple subject changes in conversations. This will then be followed by a down-time causing fatigue, unassociated depression, and sluggish thoughts. This cycle can occur several times in a day, or, the highs and lows can be drawn out over several days. Treatment involves improving the quality of thyroid function while the ovaries are being treated.

3. If Hashimoto's Thyroiditis has been diagnosed add L-Tyrosine (500mg)

Menopause Thyroid Deficiency (Hypothyroid) Treatment

Thyroid problems can begin around menopause because of the pituitary's dominant interest in assisting the ovaries. They can also develop because substitute estrogens being produced by a compensation can interfere with the transport protein (thyroid binding globulin-TBG). This can also happen from liver stress from managing poor estrogens and in turn preventing the production of TBG. When these factors result in a thyroid deficiency, thyroid hormone levels drop below normal. To remedy this situation, the pituitary will attempt to increase thyroid hormone levels with TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). Hypothyroid symptoms include fatigue, unattached depression, and sluggish thoughts. Treatment involves improving the quality of thyroid function while the ovaries are being treated.

1. Thytrophin PMG (standard process.com) This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
2. Iodine (Oligo) is needed if patient is at a healthy weight. This product needs to be ordered through your health practitioner.
3. If there is an increased weight gain then add L-Tyrosine (500mg)

Case Histories For Hot Flashes

There is also another point which is important to mention. The treatment of hot flashes can be very frustrating. It is very common that a completely unrelated condition can cause them. I treated a patient who was suffering from severe hot flashes that occurred during the day as well as all night. On the initial evaluation, the results were pretty consistent for normalizing the hormones. She experienced absolutely no difference within two weeks. Upon the second evaluation, I isolated a deficient heart condition which caused a persistent state of dehydration. Within a few days of following this treatment her hot flashes were completely gone! Another case had the same initial results but when her pancreatic hypoglycemia was treated, her hot flashes stopped. Another cause for poor response to ovary treatments is the liver. If the liver is unable to process the hormones that are in the process of being discarded, the body will not allow any new ones to come in. Finally, if the liver is unable to build the transport substance or is unable to move raw materials to the ovary, the hot flashes will not improve. So don't be discouraged. Your body wants to be healed and it knows how to do it. We just have to interpret what it is trying to tell us. If your results are inadequate for the treatments being followed and the time allowed, move on to a section of this website that describes what might be the true cause of your disorder.

Final Notes

It is important to remember two factors when taking supplements designed to assist in alleviating menopausal symptoms.

First, as the symptoms begin to improve, it will be because the hormone levels will be gradually increasing. As they do, the liver, which is responsible for processing them for elimination after they have done their work, can become overloaded. This can cause bloating, water retention, indigestion or even heartburn, evening headaches, and water weight gain by the evening. In these cases, you will want to include EstraLiv (pchoiceline.com) in your program and reduce the ovary support by half until the liver gets caught up. Once better, you can return to the dosage that is working for you.

Second, every cell in the body has an estrogen receptor site. It is sort of like a docking station where the estrogen hooks up, does its thing and then is instructed to leave. With compensation hormones, the cell often does not have the correct instruction code and the hormone continues to hang around. As long as this is happening, a new hormone cannot exert its effect. In this case, most of the treatments as well as prescription hormones will not work as well as they should. There will be hormone deficiency symptoms as well as hormone excess. To remedy this requires a homeopathic (Estradiol 30x or Estrogen 30x ) which stimulates the body to remove the resistant hormones. Once the body is clean, the treatments should work.
