Excess body fat = Excess estrogen

Women and Men with high estrogen levels tend to hold their weight in their hips and middle section. Looks sort of like this...

 Sound familiar??? Yeah I thought so...

Here's the thing...the more fat you have the higher the estrogen levels. Diets will not work for you unless you detox. Wasting time counting calories, eating nothing but proteins and be right back where you started or worse. Who wants that?... right?!...All that hard work for nothing! Many moons ago I worked as a trainer at Curves For Women. I was overweight when I started and in just a few months I lost over 50 pounds!! However, I worked out 8 to 10 times a day, ate nothing but protein bars, meat and absolutely no carbs...lol I laugh now because I busted my ass and as soon as I got a new job I gained it all back. I did lose the weight but I went about it the wrong way.

It's not very healthy to workout so much and eat nothing but animal protein all day...It is too acidic! I was over working my liver, kidneys and everything else. I was so desperate to lose weight I lost focus on my health. So here it is ...for all you thick girls<3 and big men. Also, let's not leave out women and men that are thinner but are experiencing muscle loss, low energy and flabby skin.
 
Did you know that all pesticides contain chemicals that mimic estrogen when it enters the blood stream? BPA's (plastic residue) also acts like estrogen and all GMO and processed foods contains synthetic estrogen.

You will prevent diseases and lose weight by detoxifying estrogen from the body. High estrogen levels along with the problems eliminating it are well known to result in prostate and breast cancer. Estrogen is a problem for men as well as women due to multiple factors, especially the huge amounts of chemical estrogen we are exposed to in our daily lives. Cosmetics, shampoo and personal care products such as oil-based coatings, pesticides, and animal hormones including dairy products all contain excess estrogen.

What to do? Well...In all my studies and research there is one fact that rises above all and that is everyone is different...two women with the exact problems might need different treatments and I respect that so much, however it is important to see the similarities in these cases. Too much estrogen is bad and excess body fat = excess estrogen. So to answer the question ...if you fall into this category it is time to detox estrogen.

How to detox Estrogen out of the body safely? That's right! Detoxing estrogen is a delicate process and if you do it wrong you can cause damage to the organs and cells. Now, I don't want to scare you...I merely want to inform you. There is always a wrong way to do something. I am here to share with you the correct way to safely detox and balance the hormones. 

 In order to detox you have to eat right...Yup... that's right there is no magic pill that will replace a well balanced diet, however, there are supplements to help you along the way. Eating right is a lifestyle not a diet fad. Here is what I'm doing...Organic fruits and vegetables (Can't afford it?) Start a garden...(No room) buy local from a farmers market...and think about how much money you spend when eating out...hmmm? Eating the right portions is important, we have gotten use to eating big...starting to make sense... That's what I thought:)

There is no excuse and there's always a way... If your serious about feeling better, looking better and having energy. Another thing I've cut out while detoxing.. all dairy and animal flesh, so I suggest you do it too. If you need help in creating meal plans, you can comment below or email me at sflyblog@gmail.com.

Supplements:

Calcium D-Glucarate: is an extract found in fruits and vegetables that has been found to be  beneficial in helping to remove toxins and excess used hormones, preventing them from being reabsorbed into the blood stream and deposited in the tissues of your body. Calcium D-Glucarate also helps to support liver function, detoxification and boosts the immune system.


Zinc: Plays an important role in hormone production and balance. Zinc helps to increase progesterone levels and lower estrogen. Excess estrogen can lower serum zinc levels in people who are estrogen dominant.

Progesterone: Supplementing with a bio-identical progesterone product such as Life-Flo Progestacare, free of synthetics and parabens (which disrupts hormones ), protects the delicate balance between estrogen and progesterone.  Progesterone can be safely used by menstruating women, pre- and Peri-menopausal women, and menopausal women. Men with estrogen dominance can also benefit from progesterone. Dr. John Lee created Life-Flo progestone and other products including a cleanse specificity for detoxing estrogen (click on link) Life-Flo Complete Body 14 Day Cleanse Kit ...I also suggest you listen to his CD, Mp3 or read his book.

DIM: A phyto-nutrient naturally occurring in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and kale. DIM promotes metabolism of estrogen and aids in healthy hormonal balance.

Myomin: All-natural Chinese herbal blend ideal for normalizing estrogen levels in both men and women. Myomin inhibits aromatase, which can reduce levels of bad estrogens (estradiol and estrone), and promotes production of the good estrogen (estriol).  It also acts as an aromatase inhibitor in both women and men.  It has been shown to reduce estrogen levels in as little as 10 days and is beneficial for reducing abdominal fat and restoring muscle tone.
