| 0:00.0 | So let's talk about post-menopausal estrogen. Now, before you go through menopause, roughly |
| 0:22.4 | about age 50, 52, the ovaries are working and they're producing estrogen. But after your |
| 0:31.1 | ovaries go into retirement, when you're in menopause, post-menopausal, you're going to be getting |
| 0:38.0 | your estrogen from other places, not necessarily the ovaries. And the biggest place you're going |
| 0:44.4 | to get it from is from your fat cell. Now, if you have a lot of fat on your body, then you're |
| 0:50.6 | going to actually start making excess amounts of estrogen. You're also going to convert some of your |
| 0:58.4 | adrenal hormones into estrogen as well, but it's not as much as your fat. Unless you don't have a lot |
| 1:04.7 | of fat, then you'll probably be in better shape. But if you have excess amounts of fat on your |
| 1:09.6 | body, chances are you're going to convert that into estrogen and there's an enzyme that helps with |
| 1:17.4 | that. And this is one of the reasons why women end up with estrogen dominance after menopause, |
| 1:23.6 | and they have all these issues, whether it's cancer, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, |
| 1:29.8 | lowered mood, depression, irritability, all these different things. Not to mention if you have a |
| 1:36.6 | fatty liver, which a lot of women do have, you're not going to be able to clear out estrogen properly, |
| 1:42.6 | and estrogen will build up even more. So you end up with this situation when you have way too much |
| 1:47.2 | estrogen. And now that estrogen can also put on more fat, and you're kind of stuck between a rock |
| 1:53.0 | and a hard place. And there's three types of estrogen, estrone, estradiol, and estriol, okay? Estriol |
| 2:03.4 | happens pretty much only when you're pregnant, so we're not going to talk about that. Estrone and |
| 2:09.0 | estradiol are the biological active form of estrogen. And this one is produced by the adrenal. |
| 2:17.5 | Your adrenals are being converted to estrogen through an enzyme called aromatase. And then you |
| 2:23.8 | have estradiol that is made from the ovary, your own fat, or the adrenal hormones. So what can you do? |
| 2:32.1 | Well, one of the things you could do is you can actually take a natural aromatase inhibitor, |
| 2:39.3 | okay? And I listed eight of them right here. If you consume some of these, what that will do, |
