Another thing I want to add to this video on the vitex notes - I would also recommend getting your prolactin tested. If your prolactin is very low vitex would not be best suited for you as it lowers prolactin. Before I prescribe this herb in my clinic I always try to get a prolactin reading first so I can be sure it is right for the patient x
I am so sorry to hear that is your experience 💔 I hope to continue sharing more useful info and all the things we should have been taught in school but arn't 🙈 xxx
To add to your wonderful progesterone video, *Dr. Mindy Pelz* has written a hormonal support fasting book called *"Fast Like a Girl"* that is a must-read for hormonal support of the _whole_ cycle AND fat loss (along with other fasting healing goals), too. I adopted a fasting lifestyle 8 months ago at age 51 and am slimmer and healthier in every way than I've ever been!
I am a male with this problem. I took The Saliva hormone test and my test showed very low progesterone. This explains a lot of my issues. I started taking wild yam root, vitamin C, Magnesium glycinate, zinc with copper, Grass-Fed beef adrenal. I just ordered wild yam cream to alternate to see if this works better than the capsules. I also suspect that my thymus is not functioning right. This has been going on for a long time. I finally have a naturopath Doctor to guide me. But it's good to hear you talk about this. Low progesterone in men causes prostate problems, like urinating at night, swollen prostate, anxiety, depression, stomach problems, low sperm count, erectile disfunction, blurry vision, low libido, adrenal fatigue, hormone Imbalance, low testosterone and so on....
she has just explained things to me that I've been pulling a blank on for 4 years... 3 consultants and no-one has explained it like this - she is amazing!!
Nettle and oatstraw are gold for magnesium and trace minerals but nettle is low in sodium and magnesium uses sodium and adrenals need the sodium too so that’s why I add oatstraw it has sodium but I drink Himalayan salt in my water. I feel a thousand times better getting these minerals in this way
Hormones work in conjunction with each other, if one is off the rest will be affected. That’s why it’s called a hormone imbalance. I got on bio identical hormone replacement when I went into menopause and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.
I had a CM in June at 5wks. My cortisol is normal all bloods came back normal, during the scan at the EPU i had a cycst on my left side tube. Im this is blocking egg release. TTC 6th cycle and no hope. I am 11dpo n test came back negative. I take all my prenatals, extra vitamins minerals, track ovulation, have regular cycles and do everything right during fertility window. Staying positive God will bless me when the times ready, im 36 and time isnt on my side.
I love thé holistic approach. So many things I wish I would have known about when I was dealing with secondary infertility. Now I’m onto peri menopause and nearly menopause. That progesterone imbalance is. Ow really a problem. I’m doing a lot of what was suggested but picked up a few new ideas thanks.
You need hrt. Please watch Dr mary have she's a menopause specialist please just watch it will really help. Holistic approach doesn't work for loss of hormones.
My hormonal imbalance causes seizures once a month but lately it seems to happen more often right before or during my period (progesterone dropping) instead of ovulation (estrogen rising) so I pray every day that it will go away with menopause, I’ve been having this problem since 17 years old and now on my 46th bday coming up, thank you for the information, I’ve tried this type of diet you suggest but unfortunately no positive changes
My anxiety has been thru the roof. My partner has been going thru a health crisis and stress is high. My PMS has gotten much worse. I started a low carb diet and that’s helped me feel a little more balanced. Also started eating liver and holy cow that helped reduce PMS fatigue. Still working thru the anxiety piece. I know it’s the stress. Great video tho!
Thank you so much! I just found out that ALL of the symptoms I had during the last 10 years and so much worse during the last year going into menopause......stem from this. I was quite desperate to learn all the ripercussions, but your video was very very helpfu. I will start on all you state here......and I really got a lot of hope after watching this video.
I ordered some Vitex and am excited to try it, but thank you for mentioning low cholesterol because that is something I have and am going to eat more good fatty foods! 😊
Thank you ❤ I have watched many videos on this topic, big time gurus, all amazing in their knowledge. But you have explained a few things here in a way that I now truly comprehend it! Thank you thank you thank you!
Hello! What dosage do you recommend for these supplements?? From Dr Mindy Pelz I’ve learned that day 20 until you’re bleeding is an important time to support progesterone, so should we take the supplements every day, or only at certain times of our cycle? Thanks so much!!
im 22 and i found out i had ovarian cyst when i was like 16/17 and the doctor said it was huge but didnt do anything about it after that i started getting forehead acne then it started on my cheeks/chin jawline etc. i took every acne pill but everything made it worse once i stopped i finally took a hormone test that you do at home because doctors didnt want to do blood work done they just always tried to put me on BC and it came back that i have low progesterone.. i have almost all the symptoms sleeping problems terrible cramps acne depression terrible PMS etc. i dont even know what to do at this point and here i am watching this video😭
Thinking of using wild yam cream for bone health. I'm in my 60s and had pre ovarian failure, pelvic floor congestion and they both led to full hysterectomy. Then we discovered (because my mother didn't know) that she had been given DES.while pregnant with me. I was 35 then. So now, I use estradiol cream occasionally and have been diagnosed with osteopenia. Trying to stay OFF bone replacement! I heard wild yam could help. Am I too old?
Won't do anything for you. You need hrt you actually needed it the last 20 years. You need hormones. It's that simple without them you will suffer so much. Watch Dr mary claire haver she speaks alot about women your age.

I am taking bio identical progesterone and feel absolutely miserable on it. Rage like Anger, hot flashes, extreme sleepiness, headaches, dizziness and edema in fingers. I started taking it and thought it would improve my PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, hairloss, hirsutism and depression because it’s advertised as such… turns out if you have chronic stress in your body it turns into cortisol even if you are supplementing with bio identical progesterone which contributes to the issue I have in the first place. I don’t even have a stressful life (anymore but I used to) but have a bunch of chronic conditions and C-PTSD along with old injuries that don’t seem to heal. I guess I’m too far gone because my healthy diet, supplements and now calm life aren’t reversing the damage of a previous traumatic life. Can anyone relate to this? What should I do? :( I feel so helpless and I’m only in my 20s…
Sorry to hear that, it takes time to heal please hang in there🙏🙏Are you using progesterone cream or tablets?? If you're on tablets maybe you should try the cream instead. It sounds like you are overdosing on the progesterone. Have you had your hormones tested?
I took vitex tincture for years. I actually felt "addicted" to bc it made me feel so good and def. kept pms symptoms at bay! My question is how does it work during and after menopause? Does the vitex make the body produce more progesterone (and if so, from where? just the ovaries or the adrenals?) or is it an exogenous source of progesterone? Thank you!
If Progesterone supports production of cortisol when stressed, if you take more Progesterone and continue to be stressed will you produce more cortisol or will you create a balance???
You would need to support and correct the adrenals and this will have an opposite effect. You can then build progesterone once the adrenals/cortisol is under control. Then you can build progesterone and see your levels increase.
This is amazing 🥰😍 I’m currently having fertility problems with low progesterone, Heather my business partner recommended you, I’ve picked up a lot of the stuff you recommended so thank you 🙏🥳💗 xxx

Hi, I have endometriosis, I started using natural progesterone cream which did wonders for me but at the same time I had spotting all day every day each month, I recently went to see a GP and they put me on progesterone only pills which I'm very hesitant to. I was just wondering if you can give me any advice on what to do or how to use natural progesterone in a way that won't cause spotting? Many thanks xx
I think my progesteron is low.. my doctor gave me progesteron pills, but when im not consume for several days I start to bleeding again. I think I wanna try vitex.
Ugh ty. I walk hours a day with dogs. I eat healthy. And I'm 48 suddenly my belly and thighs and arm fat exploded 😢I'm so depressed from this. I had perfect legs now they're FAT! I EAT FRUIT VEGGIES AND MEATS. NO SUGAR NO WHITE BREAD SO WHAT THE HELL!!!!?!
The most common cause of miscarriage in early pregnancy is chromosome abnormalities... it can be harmful and really hurtul to suggest that it is a woman's fault that she lost a pregnancy for 'stressing too much about it'.
I am mentioning it as one of the possible contributing factors for some miscarriages, I am not saying stress is the leading cause for all women. The video is about progesterone, and cortisol and progesterone do have a relationship which is why it was mentioned x
For those of us with chronic miscarriage, the most common cause is not chromosomal abnormalities. How about you let us gather the info we need and support the providers giving us tips without trying to shame people with meaningless, thoughtless parroted points. We are grateful to get a different perspective than the mainline.
Amazing information!!! Thank you 🙏 I wish you have time to answer me. I have spotting 5 days before every period and light period, but doctor said it’s okay. I am trying to conceive, do I need to boost my progesterone?
I have heard a lot about them but I have not used them personally or in practice - I have done research into them but it’s pretty inconclusive so it is something I am still looking in to ❤️❤️ would love to hear anyone else experience reading this if you have tried it??
Hiya, do you know at what part of our cycle it’s best for us to take Vitex? I’ve read contradicting advice online (some say day 1 of cycle, some say between days 14-28). It’s for my period. Thank you
Hi Ebony, you are positively glowing. Thanks for the great tips. I have vitex that i bought before for some issues but i find it so repulsive. Plus it gives me a burning sensation in my chest immediately after i take it which dissipates after a while. Is there any other way i can take it? Also, how frequently would you suggest for someone like me who doesn't get periods for months in a row? Thank you.
Hey! Thank you so much ❤️ I am hesitant to give recommendations on this due to your symptoms after taking it - this suggests to me it might not be the right herb for you as you should't get burning sensations in your chest - if you would like to discuss this further and make sure you are choosing the right approach book in a free discovery call, this is too much to talk about via comments ❤️ xx
Hi, I can relate to you. I bled for over 3 months and at times the period was so heavy I thought I would bleed out. My doctor said I had cysts on my ovaries and polyps on my uterus. Through much prayer and the use of some herbal supplements, God had healed me of those issues. That was over 3 years ago. Now I am 52 and battling anxiety, insomnia, and mild depression. I had a period three months ago and it was very heavy. No I am starting to try some supplements: GABA, 5-HTP, melatonin (sleep), progesterone cream, and a supplement with vitex to balance my hormones. When I had my heavy, long periods I try this prosuct called ESTROSENSE and it was a miracle for me. This may help you. Praying you get the help you need.
I'm having problems with sleep anxiety and anxiety, I'm perimenopause, I'm on HRT, mireena coil and estragel, the coil misplaced and I'm having it removed, I'm not sure if I'm going to have it replaced as I was having bleeding and spotting for16 mths, I've always suffered from PMS, so I'm worried about progesterone as the dr wants to put me on utragestran for my bleeds and sleep anxiety and anxiety, I'm in limbo❤
My periods don’t ever come without progesterone pills. With that being said I don’t ovulate on my own and doctors are refusing to prescribe it - long story. Vitamins can be so pricey! It’s too bad they didn’t make just one that helped with all!
I'm so confused. Some people say estrogen builds the lining up and then progesterone starts to rise which stops the period. I'm not sure who to believe. Because it's estrogen dominance that causes heavy bleeding for some. I can't imagine high progesterone causing heavy bleeding if it kept building that lining.
You getting it all mixed up. Drop in progesterone brings down period Depends on what your situation is So many things causes bleeding High progesterone doesn’t cause any bleeding…. That’s why ppl get the progesterone IUD’s to avoid bleeding after 3mos. It stops. High estrogen is PCOS
I had total thyroidectomy at age 18 because of thyroid canser. I also have pcos & i have struggeled with infertility for 2 years now. (I was 26 when we started trying, now im 28). I was recomended to take vitex, and i took it one cycle and on that cycle i ovulated cd 13 or 14 (im not sure which because i got positive ovulation test for 2 days, both cd 12 and 13). But, it elevated my tsh 😔 it used to be 0.3, but after vitex it raised to 1.6... and because of thyroid canser background, i need to keep tsh under 2... So is vitex safe for me or no? Im sad because it really helped with my cycle, but i dont want it to mess my tsh levels. Expecially because always when my thyroid medication is changed it completly messes my cycle and i get one cycle that is like 64 days... They dont change my thyroid medication now, because tsh still under 2. But it shouldnt get any higher.
I'm going threw my first pregnancy ever rn and miscarriage. My cortisol was a little high that month I conceived as well it was I think 22.6 as I recall and my progestrone was at 77 3rd day if my period. I just don't know why I miscarried.
It's impossible to read that tiny print you're posting on the side of the screen. Also, It would have been helpful to say out loud what you're listing there, as many people listen, don't watch, or are visually impaired.
Hi, I'm a 40years old woman who's interested on getting an appointment with you, i just looked at your website who apparently doesn't work, and tried to book an appointment through the second link and there are no available appointment, am i doing something wrong or is it on your side? Thanks 😊
Hi Fiona! Sorry for the confusion I need to update my old videos 🙈 my new website is www.mycodemybalance.com - I put a few more appointments on yesterday for discovery calls, they book up very quickly which might be why no bookings were showing. I update the discovery call appointments every 3-4 weeks around my schedule xxx
I'm wondering if my progesterone is low. From ovulation to my period I have trouble sleeping, moody and my acne on my chin is really bad. Cystic and pustules. I'm 45 this year so it's my hormones.
@@EbonyJaneNutrition thank you for replying ❤. I've been suffering with it for a year and a half as I didn't want to take antibiotics, but had to in Autumn as it was scarring and affecting my esteem. I've now just come off of the antibiotics 🙄😣. I'm currently taking cod liver oil, evening primrose oil, zinc, vitamin D, probiotics, a green supplement, Ashawaganda. I'm a bit concerned I'm taking too many supplements 😂. Eat healthy, cut out dairy, cut out sugar since last week and was contemplating milk thistle and vitex. It's so difficult to work out what hormones are fluctuating!
@@juliettelewis2841 Oh Juliette I totally understand and it can be so overwhelming trying to figure everything out ❤️ But keep going healing can take time and it is sooo worth it! ❤️ From the supplements you have said it does sound like a lot I would suggest maybe instead of cod liver oil try Bare biology Rise & Shine (amazing quality and you have som added vitamin D there too) I would maybe even say take out the evening primrose whilst you try this supplement too so you can focus on 1 at a time. Vitamin D and probiotics is great! Green supplement watch out for spirulina and chlorella (sometimes this can worsen peoples breakouts very individual but make sure you are suiting this supplement well) and then ashwagandha is great! Great for stress and the adrenals however, make sure you know you haven't got high testosterone (ashwaghanda can increase testosterone in some). Milk thistle is great for the liver I personally prefer dandelion and vitex yes fantastic to try! If you feel like you need more help with all this feel free to reach out I do work 121 with clients :) www.ebonyjanehensler.com xx
@@EbonyJaneNutrition Thank you so much. I will message you. I think the problem is everyone's hormones are different. Like you said, if testosterone is the issue, some supplements can make acne worse, but in some people, make it better. That's the tricky bit. Finding out what's going on with your own hormones. I don't think testosterone is the issue as I'm not growing hair on my face and I don't have a deeper voice 😂. Thank you for the info on spirulina etc, as my supplement has that in. And yes, a supplement that has say, vitamin D and cod liver oil is better than individual pills!
I was wondering if there is a way to do a Dutch test supported by the NHS. I'm Hashimoto's hypothyroidism worrior and my hormones seem to be out of wack. I have hormonal acne located on the jawline.
Congratulations! 😍✨ No I do not recommend taking herbs during pregnancy ❤️ biggest tip is work on keeping stress low that will be the most effective :) xx
@@LoveJT612 Im in a similar prediction as you, I have pcos and around 5wks and searching for ways to still naturally manage pcos. Have you found any tip? Appreciate you replying x
@@shans9622 Hi there and congrats! I'm currently 12w1d and I stopped taking any herbs but do take B12 and magnesium in addition to my prenatal vitamin. Walking for an hour everyday too. So far everything has been going well, thank God. Praying all is well with you too🤍
@@LoveJT612 Hi, thanks for replying, happy to hear your growing well! & at the moment im struggling to walk because of the cramping! Did you cramp alot during the 4/5 weeks mark? Im praying this is my miracle baby x
so if a female doesn't have periods or doesn't bleed at all can that be a low Progresterone problem? would giving a woman Progresterone make her bleed and have her cycle again?
Absolutely if you are able to get them from your doctor - you need to make sure it is 100% progesterone though and not a ‘progestin’ based pill (like you get in contraceptive pills)
I am a bit confused, I have a fibroid and had my períod 2 times this months :( my diagnosis is also low progesterone and estrogene dominance. How can it be possible?
Another thing I want to add to this video on the vitex notes - I would also recommend getting your prolactin tested.

If your in menopause you take it daily. Your ovaries have shut down. Your body needs hormones to function.

That's your estrogen peaking during ovulation. Most women feel their best then. The progesterone peaks about a week after ovulation.

What if it’s really low like 0.18. Will these things still help increase it north of 11?
What if you have estrogen dominance and pcos with high LH.
How can we increase progesterone naturally?
HRT !!!!!! HORMONES REPLACE HORMONES.
I had too much stress last 3 years and affecting my body.
Stress is the number 1 disruptor to our health! Definitely a lot of us can relate!! ❤️❤️❤️ sending love!
Excellent video thank you keep going!
I think my progesteron is low.. my doctor gave me progesteron pills, but when im not consume for several days I start to bleeding again. I think I wanna try vitex.
Ugh ty. I walk hours a day with dogs. I eat healthy. And I'm 48 suddenly my belly and thighs and arm fat exploded 😢I'm so depressed from this. I had perfect legs now they're FAT! I EAT FRUIT VEGGIES AND MEATS. NO SUGAR NO WHITE BREAD SO WHAT THE HELL!!!!?!
The most common cause of miscarriage in early pregnancy is chromosome abnormalities... it can be harmful and really hurtul to suggest that it is a woman's fault that she lost a pregnancy for 'stressing too much about it'.
I am mentioning it as one of the possible contributing factors for some miscarriages, I am not saying stress is the leading cause for all women. The video is about progesterone, and cortisol and progesterone do have a relationship which is why it was mentioned x
For those of us with chronic miscarriage, the most common cause is not chromosomal abnormalities. How about you let us gather the info we need and support the providers giving us tips without trying to shame people with meaningless, thoughtless parroted points. We are grateful to get a different perspective than the mainline.
Amazing information!!! Thank you 🙏
I wish you have time to answer me.
I have spotting 5 days before every period and light period, but doctor said it’s okay. I am trying to conceive, do I need to boost my progesterone?
I read somewhere that's a symptom of low progesterone.
What do you think of wild yam creams or wild yam supplements? Thanks!
I have heard a lot about them but I have not used them personally or in practice - I have done research into them but it’s pretty inconclusive so it is something I am still looking in to ❤️❤️ would love to hear anyone else experience reading this if you have tried it??
@@EbonyJaneNutrition Thanks for your reply!
Hiya, do you know at what part of our cycle it’s best for us to take Vitex? I’ve read contradicting advice online (some say day 1 of cycle, some say between days 14-28). It’s for my period. Thank you
Can you have turmeric tea on the two week wait?
Just found out I’m low of progesterone and I just turned 30, is this reversible? Sorry I’m just a bit confused
Listen to the video.
Hi Ebony, you are positively glowing. Thanks for the great tips. I have vitex that i bought before for some issues but i find it so repulsive. Plus it gives me a burning sensation in my chest immediately after i take it which dissipates after a while. Is there any other way i can take it? Also, how frequently would you suggest for someone like me who doesn't get periods for months in a row? Thank you.
Hey! Thank you so much ❤️ I am hesitant to give recommendations on this due to your symptoms after taking it - this suggests to me it might not be the right herb for you as you should't get burning sensations in your chest - if you would like to discuss this further and make sure you are choosing the right approach book in a free discovery call, this is too much to talk about via comments ❤️ xx
I’m here because I can’t stop my menstrual period
Hi, I can relate to you. I bled for over 3 months and at times the period was so heavy I thought I would bleed out. My doctor said I had cysts on my ovaries and polyps on my uterus. Through much prayer and the use of some herbal supplements, God had healed me of those issues. That was over 3 years ago.
Now I am 52 and battling anxiety, insomnia, and mild depression. I had a period three months ago and it was very heavy. No I am starting to try some supplements: GABA, 5-HTP, melatonin (sleep), progesterone cream, and a supplement with vitex to balance my hormones. When I had my heavy, long periods I try this prosuct called ESTROSENSE and it was a miracle for me. This may help you. Praying you get the help you need.
Inflammation possibly root of disease problems
I'm having problems with sleep anxiety and anxiety, I'm perimenopause, I'm on HRT, mireena coil and estragel, the coil misplaced and I'm having it removed, I'm not sure if I'm going to have it replaced as I was having bleeding and spotting for16 mths, I've always suffered from PMS, so I'm worried about progesterone as the dr wants to put me on utragestran for my bleeds and sleep anxiety and anxiety, I'm in limbo❤
Try a progesterone IUD. And bio identical creams from compound pharmacies
I’m peri with fibroids and when progesterone drops you bleed, anxious and can’t sleep.
What Vitex supplements do you recommend for us laddies in the U.S.?
My periods don’t ever come without progesterone pills. With that being said I don’t ovulate on my own and doctors are refusing to prescribe it - long story. Vitamins can be so pricey! It’s too bad they didn’t make just one that helped with all!
Great info! 👍🏼👍🏼
My ashwagandha says don’t take when you are pregnant
I'm so confused. Some people say estrogen builds the lining up and then progesterone starts to rise which stops the period. I'm not sure who to believe. Because it's estrogen dominance that causes heavy bleeding for some. I can't imagine high progesterone causing heavy bleeding if it kept building that lining.
You getting it all mixed up. Drop in progesterone brings down period
Depends on what your situation is
So many things causes bleeding
High progesterone doesn’t cause any bleeding…. That’s why ppl get the progesterone IUD’s to avoid bleeding after 3mos. It stops.
High estrogen is PCOS
Can i increase progestrone and simultaneously focus on liver cleanse ?
I had total thyroidectomy at age 18 because of thyroid canser. I also have pcos & i have struggeled with infertility for 2 years now. (I was 26 when we started trying, now im 28).
I was recomended to take vitex, and i took it one cycle and on that cycle i ovulated cd 13 or 14 (im not sure which because i got positive ovulation test for 2 days, both cd 12 and 13). But, it elevated my tsh 😔 it used to be 0.3, but after vitex it raised to 1.6... and because of thyroid canser background, i need to keep tsh under 2... So is vitex safe for me or no? Im sad because it really helped with my cycle, but i dont want it to mess my tsh levels. Expecially because always when my thyroid medication is changed it completly messes my cycle and i get one cycle that is like 64 days... They dont change my thyroid medication now, because tsh still under 2. But it shouldnt get any higher.
What do you do if your lutenizing hormone is high? I took Angus cactus and it made my skin worse:(
I am posting a video on this today! :)
What type of magnesium do you recommend?
Magnesium bisglycinate (glycinate) - I like the brand pure encapsulations xx
what do you think of maca?
She mentioned it in the video take adatahens
I'm going threw my first pregnancy ever rn and miscarriage. My cortisol was a little high that month I conceived as well it was I think 22.6 as I recall and my progestrone was at 77 3rd day if my period. I just don't know why I miscarried.
It's impossible to read that tiny print you're posting on the side of the screen. Also, It would have been helpful to say out loud what you're listing there, as many people listen, don't watch, or are visually impaired.
Agreed!
Ok noted! Thank you for the feedback I will take this on board going forward xx
How to lower stres when my husband has died
Hi, I'm a 40years old woman who's interested on getting an appointment with you, i just looked at your website who apparently doesn't work, and tried to book an appointment through the second link and there are no available appointment, am i doing something wrong or is it on your side? Thanks 😊
Hi Fiona! Sorry for the confusion I need to update my old videos 🙈 my new website is www.mycodemybalance.com - I put a few more appointments on yesterday for discovery calls, they book up very quickly which might be why no bookings were showing. I update the discovery call appointments every 3-4 weeks around my schedule xxx
@@EbonyJaneNutrition thank you, I'll have a look tomorrow cause I'm in Australia, thank you for your help 🤗😊
I'm wondering if my progesterone is low. From ovulation to my period I have trouble sleeping, moody and my acne on my chin is really bad. Cystic and pustules. I'm 45 this year so it's my hormones.
Definitely sounds like some key signs! Defo worth giving some of these tips a go to see if you notice a difference :) ❤️❤️❤️
@@EbonyJaneNutrition thank you for replying ❤. I've been suffering with it for a year and a half as I didn't want to take antibiotics, but had to in Autumn as it was scarring and affecting my esteem. I've now just come off of the antibiotics 🙄😣. I'm currently taking cod liver oil, evening primrose oil, zinc, vitamin D, probiotics, a green supplement, Ashawaganda. I'm a bit concerned I'm taking too many supplements 😂. Eat healthy, cut out dairy, cut out sugar since last week and was contemplating milk thistle and vitex. It's so difficult to work out what hormones are fluctuating!
@@juliettelewis2841 Oh Juliette I totally understand and it can be so overwhelming trying to figure everything out ❤️ But keep going healing can take time and it is sooo worth it! ❤️
From the supplements you have said it does sound like a lot I would suggest maybe instead of cod liver oil try Bare biology Rise & Shine (amazing quality and you have som added vitamin D there too) I would maybe even say take out the evening primrose whilst you try this supplement too so you can focus on 1 at a time. Vitamin D and probiotics is great! Green supplement watch out for spirulina and chlorella (sometimes this can worsen peoples breakouts very individual but make sure you are suiting this supplement well) and then ashwagandha is great! Great for stress and the adrenals however, make sure you know you haven't got high testosterone (ashwaghanda can increase testosterone in some).
Milk thistle is great for the liver I personally prefer dandelion and vitex yes fantastic to try! If you feel like you need more help with all this feel free to reach out I do work 121 with clients :) www.ebonyjanehensler.com xx
@@EbonyJaneNutrition Thank you so much. I will message you. I think the problem is everyone's hormones are different. Like you said, if testosterone is the issue, some supplements can make acne worse, but in some people, make it better. That's the tricky bit. Finding out what's going on with your own hormones. I don't think testosterone is the issue as I'm not growing hair on my face and I don't have a deeper voice 😂. Thank you for the info on spirulina etc, as my supplement has that in. And yes, a supplement that has say, vitamin D and cod liver oil is better than individual pills!
I was wondering if there is a way to do a Dutch test supported by the NHS. I'm Hashimoto's hypothyroidism worrior and my hormones seem to be out of wack. I have hormonal acne located on the jawline.
Do you have any recommendationa for makeup lines that are non toxic?
So is Progesterone the same as HCG that is observed during pregnancy?
Non it is FSH.
Are all of these herbs safe during pregnancy? Trying to keep progesterone up Im only 5 weeks pregnant
Congratulations! 😍✨ No I do not recommend taking herbs during pregnancy ❤️ biggest tip is work on keeping stress low that will be the most effective :) xx
@@EbonyJaneNutrition Thank you🤍I was taking DIM, Dandelion Root, NAC and Vitamin B6/B12 to conceive. Should i stop taking these? I have Pcos
@@LoveJT612 Im in a similar prediction as you, I have pcos and around 5wks and searching for ways to still naturally manage pcos. Have you found any tip? Appreciate you replying x
@@shans9622 Hi there and congrats! I'm currently 12w1d and I stopped taking any herbs but do take B12 and magnesium in addition to my prenatal vitamin. Walking for an hour everyday too. So far everything has been going well, thank God. Praying all is well with you too🤍
@@LoveJT612 Hi, thanks for replying, happy to hear your growing well! & at the moment im struggling to walk because of the cramping! Did you cramp alot during the 4/5 weeks mark? Im praying this is my miracle baby x
Can i ise the wild yam.cream.during my period
For what ?? It has nothing to do with HORMONES.
so if a female doesn't have periods or doesn't bleed at all can that be a low Progresterone problem? would giving a woman Progresterone make her bleed and have her cycle again?
This means she is not ovulating and without ovulation you can not make progesterone so the goal is to get ovulation going x
@@EbonyJaneNutritionany recommendations on what to take?
😊👐
What about if its too high. Not pregnant
Cholesterol is around your brain. And they still prescribe Statins 🤣
Vitex made me gain weight 😞
It made me gain weight too. It also made me depressed
@@starrjohnson1327 made me depressed as well. But I also have PCOS.
You're very beautiful!
I know this video is quite old but if anyone sees this please tell me if you know the answer!!!! Will these things help tuberous breasts?
Or you could simply take some progesterone pills.
Absolutely if you are able to get them from your doctor - you need to make sure it is 100% progesterone though and not a ‘progestin’ based pill (like you get in contraceptive pills)
Hormones replace Hormones there is no in beteeen no weeds or plants are going to help. Women need hrt strength training and diet changes.
