Key Takeaways
- Oestrogen is a term used to describe a group of hormones and when particular oestrogen hormones become elevated it can lead to PTOS and endometriosis
- Environment toxins, trauma and deficiency all play a part in creating an imbalance of hormones
- High levels of stress and trying to out-perform men can cause a very poor hormonal state in women that in turn leads to many diseases
- A plant based diet can mean deficiency for women who need organ meats, rich in nutrients for their hormone levels
- Testosterone is not an end stage hormone it can convert to other form including conversion to oestrogens
- A woman’s cycle means the body changes around four times every month and each part of the cycle has different physical and psychological demands
- In the third week, days 13 to 22, you need to reduce all stress because there is a high demand for progesterone and lowering it can cause serious illness
- Humans are creatures of movement so continuing to move is important, it’s how you do it and the intensity that matters
- When you move into menopause you need to use your adrenals and fat to produce the majority of your hormones
- Get it right and you can have better sex than ever before, post menopause
- The purpose of cycles is fertility and every time there is a cycle eggs are lost, so as girls are beginning their cycles earlier the period of being fertile as adults is decreasing
- Getting your hormone balance right will restore your physiology back to normal, to where it should be
Best Moments
‘The third week of a woman’s cycle is the most intensive thing and they really need to take care of themselves’
‘It’s easier to keep a woman healthy in menopause than when she is cyclic’
‘Combining high-intensity exercise with menstruation will drain your hormones’
