Estrogen Dominance
For too long, we have ignored the importance of hormone balance. Now, we know that the common thread in many female hormone diseases such as those mentioned above is a little known condition known as estrogen dominance. In the west, the prevalence of estrogen dominance syndrome approaches 50 percent in women over 35 years old.
Hypothyroidism
More than 10 million Americans have been diagnosed with thyroid disease, and another 13 million people are estimated to have undiagnosed thyroid problems. About 10 percent of the adult population is afflicted with this frequently overlooked disease of epidemic proportion. It is one of the most under-diagnosed hormonal imbalances of aging, together with estrogen dominance and syndrome X. |

Magnesium and Aging
Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in human beings. It is required for sodium, potassium, and calcium homeostasis, as well as for the formation, transfer, storage, and utilization of ATP (the energy currency in our body) at the cellular level. You cannot live without magnesium. The lower the cellular level of magnesium, the faster disease states develop and the faster aging progresses. It's that simple. | Menopause
All women go through menopause. There is no escape for anyone. What can you do to pass through this life stage in the most comfortable and protective manner? | Growth Hormone
In particular, the growth hormone has generated worldwide interest. This is due to the amount of recent research, which shows that healthy aging adults can reverse the physical signs of aging by as many as 15 years. | Estrogen Dominance
For too long, we have ignored the importance of hormone balance. For too long, physicians have been misguided on the real truth on hormonal balance. Now, we know that the common thread in many female hormone diseases such as those mentioned above is a little known condition known as estrogen dominance. The underlying problem is a relative excess of estrogen and an absolute deficiency in progesterone. In the west, the prevalence of estrogen dominance syndrome approaches 50 percent in women over 35 years old. | Hypothyroidism
More than 10 million Americans have been diagnosed with thyroid disease, and another 13 million people are estimated to have undiagnosed thyroid problems. About 10 percent of the adult population is afflicted with this frequently overlooked disease of epidemic proportion. A dysfunctional thyroid can affect almost every aspect of health. It is one of the most under-diagnosed hormonal imbalances of aging, together with estrogen dominance and syndrome X. | Jane’s Story – A Struggle with Estrogen Dominance
Little Jane stood by her mother's grave sobbing uncontrollably. Her mother had just passed away due to the dreadful breast cancer. As she placed some flowers on her grave, Jane could not understand fully why her mother had been taken away from her. After all, at the tender age of 10 years old, Jane could not fully comprehend the meaning of cancer and death. | Progesterone
Production of progesterone occurs at several places. In women, it is primarily produced in the ovaries just before ovulation and increase rapidly after ovulation. It is also produced in the adrenal glands in both sexes and in the testes in males. Its level is highest during the ovulation period (day 13-15 of the menstrual cycle). If fertilization does not take place, the secretion of progesterone decreases and menstruation occurs. If fertilization does occur, progesterone is secreted during pregnancy by the placenta and acts to prevent spontaneous abortion. About 20-25 mg of progesterone is produced per day during a woman's monthly cycle. Up to 300-400 mg are produced daily during pregnancy. During menopause, the total amount of progesterone produced declined to less than 1% of the pre-menopausal level. This drop is extreme. |
