What Do Heavy Periods, Fatigue & Breast Tenderness All Have In Common?
I work with women all over the world including Australia, Germany, the UK, Canada, and I can tell you something they all have in common: Menstrual cycles that they haven’t received proper care for.
Nothing infuriates me more as a practitioner then seeing people suffer needlessly! But I digress.
Today we are talking all about your heavy periods, fatigue and breast tenderness.
Maybe you, like some of the other clients I’ve worked with, really struggle with these symptoms, but you’re not sure how they are connected. Or maybe you know they are hormonal, but the only solution you’ve been offered is birth control or a hysterectomy or worse… told to just deal with it.
And then as time goes on, because those root causes haven't actually been dealt with, the symptoms get worse and worse over time. And we start to see that spill over into the entire month.
Painful periods, breast tenderness and fatigue don't exist on their own. And they are very, very common indicators of estrogen dominance. So when estrogen becomes too high in the bloodstream that's an indicator that the body is actually not clearing estrogen out through the liver into the gut and out the body properly.
Estrogen then begins to build up in the bloodstream and it can create the feeling of breast tenderness, painful, heavy periods, and that really low energy because our liver is actually responsible for estrogen metabolism, it's responsible for vitamin synthesis. It’s responsible for so many different things in the body. And our hormones are actually like our fifth vital sign. So they are an indicator, absolutely an indicator of how our overall health is actually doing when it comes to hormones
If you're having those three symptoms in particular, you actually have some other symptoms in the liver category that maybe you're just not paying attention to, because nobody's taught you to pay attention to them.
If these symptoms continue, what's going to happen is it's going to cause your progesterone to go lower because your estrogen and your progesterone are see-saw hormones.
If estrogen is high, progesterone is going to be trapped down here somewhere. And when progesterone goes low, we're going to start to see symptoms of moodiness, irritability, anxiety, sleep issues before your cycles, spotting irregular periods, etc.
This is why it's really, really important. If you're having these symptoms, that you're working with somebody who is addressing the root causes with you and for you, so that you're not trying to figure it all out on your own, and can actually get you some of the relief- and quickly!
Thankfully, it’s not too complicated to turn these symptoms around. What you need to do is what I call the “Hormone Flush”. This is the 3 step process I use with my clients to get rid of their estrogen dominance symptoms by establishing some simple, sustainable daily habits.
We focus on:
Hydrating the cells of the liver
Nourishing estrogen detoxification through targeted nutrition (not crazy diets or cleanses).
That’s it!
