Congrats love on your pregnancy! Ive had 4 babies and one was a twin pregnancy..im now 44 and having to look up things. Having the twins aged me fast. I'm proud that you did the work before so you can make those adjustments. God bless your family sweet lady.
Love this video so much, wonderful timing! I just got my period back after almost 3 years!! Low estrogen among all other hormones, due to over exercising and restrictive eating, thinking the veggie heavy/low carb diet was the healthiest way to be... such a crazy mistake. I feel 1000x better now that I’m eating lots of carbs and cycling, my skin isn’t doing a crazy rash food reaction to almost every food anymore. I’m taking Wild Yam root capsules along with some adrenal support herbs and what an amazing difference!! My hair also is doing soo much better also, thank heavens. Love your videos, thank you 💕🙏🙌
Yay, I'm so happy you got your period back! Wild yam is wonderful for low progesterone as well, so it sounds like a great choice for you if everything was low. So happy that you got out of the restrictive dieting as well!
@@freeleafinthewind I'm using Nature's Way for the Wild Yam, and really am loving them, as well as Adrenal Health from Gaia Herbs, but i'm just starting on that one. i've also tried adrenal glandulars from nutri-meds with really good success, hope that helps.
I just came to say I love how you answer people in the comments. Your replies are so detailed yet straight to the point. It’s almost like a comforting safe feeling. Thanks for being so quick, attentive, and kind!!!!
Thank you do much for sharing this valuable information! My estradiol levels took a huge dive from 279 to 79 in just one year and my FSH is higher than 40 which is crazy! My thyroid and testosterone levels are all normal as is my pituitary gland. I will definitely look into these herbs ASAP! I'm changing my diet to less carbs and more greens and improving my sleep and working diligently on eliminating stress and losing excess weight. God bless you!🙌
Look into liver and gallbladder flushes (liver is responsible for our hormonal balance) and also heavy metals and toxins could be behind as well, which is what I've been using Advanced TRS for. It has made an incredible difference in my periods and hormones in general. Here's the latest update I did on it: th-cam.com/video/PyWA-LoCeK4/w-d-xo.html.
Thank you so much. I had estrogen dominance and I went over board I think. Was doing everything to encourage estrogen breakdown, fasting a lot and exercising. Now my estrogen has dropped so much.
Thanks for compiling this information in a nice video! So many things to try here and even a few already in my house to get started with. Good to know what worked for you as well! Thanks again
thanks for this video , very informative, i am a young woman in my 20s and i believe my estrogen levels have dclined. i have a lot of the symptoms you described, low energy, fatigue, forgeting things quickly, headache, depression. Another thing that has happened is that where my body stores fat has changed. i am a size 6 and i have an hourglass shaped, so i am curvy. I have noticed that my curves have basically shrunk, my hips, butt and legs have losts their curves and i have become very skinny in those reegions. This has really affected my confidence because i love my curves, thats what made me physically attractive. its so obvious because theres now so much space in my jeans and skirts and my butt hurts when i sit. Please how can i rectify this. i have tried liveing a better stress free life, sleeping well and nothing. Please what can i take to get back my fullness in my lower body.
Our bodies change profoundly every 7 years or so. Perhaps it's simply your new shape? And if it's really low estrogen, i hope some of the remedies I talked about in the video help! 💖
Hops is another really good one, but red clover is my favourite because it helps me sleep (so does hops) and gives me soft, glowing skin right away after one night! From there it only gets better.
Hello, congrats on your pregnancy! I have watched many of your videos through the years because we have many of the same health issues. I do have hypothyroidism and am taking Nature throid. I struggle with acne, melasma, and shedding hair for years and I also adore cats (I cried last night when I saw your videos about Mikey). I just had a full hormone test through my naturopath. She thought I was progesterone deficient, but it turns out, I have plenty of progesterone, but am very very low in estrogen and pretty low in testosterone (but unfortunately favor metabolizing it towards DHT). I'm also super low in melatonin and serotonin. All my thyroid tests (full panel) come back normal through my naturopath. I've been on DIM for around 3 years and I think its really helped my acne, but the shedding of hair continues and I'm wondering if you can tell me more about how DIM causes hair loss and if it can really get estrogen out of balance, even good estrogen metabolites? My naturopath says no, and that I should keep taking it, but in the back of my mind I am concerned (she has me on so many supplements for my liver and thyroid). She said my test showed that I am getting rid of all the bad estrogens and they are really low, so the DIM is working well and that it shouldn't be getting rid of the good estrogen. Do you know any resources that can tell me more about this. I've searched everywhere and I can't find much about it lowering good estrogen and that it can get you out of balance? Also can it lower my DHT testosterone and thus that is why its helped my acne. Sorry for the length of my comment, you are just the first person I've heard say that DIM can get all estrogen out of balance and cause hair loss....
If you put "DIM and hair loss" in the google search box, you'll find so many forum threads talking about it. Thousands and thousands of women experience an improvement in acne but an increase in hair loss, and they eventually have to stop taking it. I feel that the science still doesn't really know how DIM works and it's all just guessing. I would never take DIM with low estrogen. And I never had issues with low estrogen until I started taking DIM containing supplements. DIM does seem to lower DHT testosterone but then there are also other supplements that can do the same without tampering with estrogen. Here's an interesting extract from an article I found: "The interaction between DIM and estrogen is complex. Sometimes it may block the effect of estrogen, while it may enhance estrogen activity in other circumstances. It may also have an anti-testosterone impact. The bottom line is that DIM may cause hormonal disturbances, reports NYU Langone Medical Center. DIM may lead to positive -- or negative -- effects on various types of hormone-sensitive cancers. For example, DIM has an anti-estrogenic effect, which may reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer, according to a study in “Thyroid” in March 2011. But researchers were surprised to find that DIM stimulated the growth of certain breast cancer cells, according to their report in “BMC Cancer” in July 2014." It's from here: www.livestrong.com/article/323870-the-side-effects-of-diindolylmethane-supplement/ (there are interesting resources underneath the article as well). By the way, estrogen is needed for proper serotonin production, so if you have low estrogen, serotonin will be low as well. Wishing you lots of healing!
Thank you so much for a thorough reply! I really appreciate it! Its been a rough road of acne, melasma, hair shedding, low energy, hypothyroidism, but someday I will figure it out. I just got the DutchPlus Hormone and it has just given me more questions and more confusion. I thought it would give me a definite path of what I need to do. I did find out I am very low in testosterone, but metabolize it more towards androgens, so I'm wondering if I should try something that helps block androgens, but not estrogen (like what you said). I will have to figure out what that might be because I do want to have enough estrogen as we want to start a family soon and I'm not young. I didn't know you lived on a tropical island until I saw you talk about it in one of your videos. I live in Hawaii and also struggle terribly with dust mite allergies. Never had allergies until I moved here from Oregon. Sometimes I think I need to move back to a place where dust mites aren't a factor because I think my body is constantly having to fight it. I watch the videos about copper and it made me think I may actually need copper because I've been taking zinc and avoiding copper in all supplements for years. All I ever hear and read about thyroid and acne is that I need zinc, but I'm wondering if I've over done it. Supplements are such a balancing act and it seems like herbs and supplements can help one thing, but make another imbalance. I want to trust my naturopath, but sometimes I think she is just trying to sell more supplements and isn't actually that detailed. A month ago she sold me 25 mg capsules of DHEA and I told her that I started getting so oily and had acne when I started taking them and she said to stop taking them. Then at my next appointment she said she made a mistake and started me too high on DHEA and that she accidentally forgot and gave me what she usually starts men on and that she should have given me 2.5 mg. I know we all make errors in life, but I wasn't too pleased because I got a bunch of acne hyperpigmentation from the breakout that was caused by the DHEA. If I made that error with my patient I would at least refund the $37 for the DHEA. I have a lot of money, time, supplements, and tests invested with her and I'm starting to question her expertise. Anyways I apologize again for my lengthy comment. I wish you a continued excellent pregnancy! and again thank you for all the info on your channel and your gentle spirit!
@@Juliet42110 Andrea what you have said resonates with me too especially hair shedding. How are you getting on and what are you using at the moment? You should incidentally believe in your practitioner as that will make a big difference and also curtail your need to constantly be searching for your own solution. You are afterall no doubt spending hundreds on paying the Naturpath so do be cautious. I know that I returned to a private specialist whom I trust implicitly after relocating and trying to find someone closer to home but I simply didn't believe they were on my side whereas the former practitioner was and is entirely genuine and will do everything to minimise costs. sending you a hug
Thank you so much for this video. I just recently found your channel but have already gotten so many a-haa moments here! I'm 35y and ttc (naturally, for over a year already). I had saliva hormone tests done and there my estradiol and estrone were both very low. Testosterone was a bit low too, progesterone was right in the middle. My periods are regular and I *should* be ovulating, but they're very light and usually last only 2 days, therefore I'm quessing my lining is quite thin. My cortisone and cortisol were then again high so I've been trying to focus on relieving stress lately. To help get estrogen higher I've been eating maca and vitex and drinking raspberry leaf tea for some months now and I'm now thinking of adding this shatavari and also red-clover tea and spearmint tea to my arsenal as well. Do you think I'm going way overboard with this all or would these still be beneficial? Or could I still add some more herbs from your list. Thank you thank you thank if you can tell me your opinion here, I'm getting sooo confused with all this. You're a true blessing!
I wouldn't add so many different things at the same, and especially so many things that do very similar things. Always best to introduce one thing at a time, otherwise you won't be able to tell what works and what doesn't. Wishing you lots of healing!
My estrogen is so low that I'm not releasing ovaries and they form cysts because they are not released. I have no hope of being more feminine cause I'm asexual so sex is not going to happen. I might have failed in this reproductive part of life but faith in Jesus Christ is something we can all succeed in. If my stand for Jesus Christ is my only legacy in this life than its a life well lived.
@@kbm124 asexual is having no sexual desire. Some are asexual because they don't have sexual organs. These are eunuchs or modern day asexuals. People who exist better without sexual activity. Heterosexual people need sexual partner of the opposite sex and asexual don't desire such things.
I only took shatavari and then really focused on lifestyle changes. I wouldn't combine herbs like cohosh and shatavari. They kind of do the same thing, so there is really no need. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
Thank you. This is very helpful. May I ask which doctor gave you the test for progesterone? My GYN wants me to go on hormone therapy because I have zero estrogen. However, I am concerned because I have breast calcifications and when I asked to have my progesterone level tested, he said that I need to see my primary doctor for progeesterone test. Any advices?
I ordered the test myself, no doctor. Not many doctors would agree to dig deep and test further things. Just look up hormone saliva testing online and order it yourself. Saliva tests are also more accurate than blood tests when it comes to estrogen and progesterone.
beautiful vid - how long did it take before your hair stopped falling as this is my main issue. I'm menopausal and not sure which herb to try first so would you say Shavtavri?
Hair loss is always delayed by 3 months, so that's more or less how long it took. Shatavari is a herb that did wonders for me, but it's not good for everyone. For example, if someone is estrogen dominant, it wouldn't be right. But for lowish estrogen and/or progesterone, it's great.
@@Vitalivesfree thanks what Shatvari dose did you take daily? Did it take Shatavari 3 months to work too? Mine is shedding and I get really tearful before showers as it just falls out. thank you
This is so cool! Ive been looking up ways to raise my Estrogen levels as my Estradiol was low this cycle, so low they had to cancel our cycle. After 18 months of trying to conceive I just feel defeated. I found a tea that I love but hadn’t used in a while and it has most of the herbs you mentioned in the last part of this video! I’ll definitely be trying to drink it now and a lot more of it ♥️
Very nice information. I have low estradiol nd progesterone. I have oily skin, acne starts from mid cycle and scanty periods. From 1.5 month ago I started dim with fennel, boron and from last 21 days using wild yam cream. I this month no acne, but hairfall nd scanty periods. I m doing something wrong? Why hair fall?
DIM is very well known to cause hair loss. Just put "DIM and hairloss" into any search engine and you'll find loooooots of cases like that. Be careful with it!
@@navichouhan8334 so... i have been dianosticated with androgenetic alopecia, but I hAVE LOW ESTROGEN, LOW PROGESTERON, LOW TESTOSTERON AND ZERO dht... WOULD ANYNE THINk that i would improve my hair thickness rising my estrogen levels? BUT if I rise my estrogen levels will I be fat in no time?
@@elleelle5939 hello I m happy to say you, now I have 4,5 hairs fall during washing, before when I write this msg to this channel, I have too much hair fall. First of all dim first detox xenoestrogens from body, It works properly with liver and one other detox herb that it remove estrogen from body. First time when I take it single then to much hair fall. Now I m taking it from 3 months with other herbs that it remove from body, now I have no hair fall. I m taking vitex also now my periods little improved my acne minimal. Dim only for 3 months in year.
Hello... I recently found out that my estradiol levels are very low and my uterus lining has gotten thinner. I am 24. I haven’t gotten my period in 3 months. I found your video and I really want to give Shatavari a try! My doctor prescribed me a birth control but I am really refusing to treat my body with It. How long should I take Shatavari for? Should I stop It in case my period comes back 🙏🏻 I don’t really know how I should start this journey. I just want to regulate my estrogen naturally.
All gealth problems are linked to heavy metal toxicity and pesticides etc from our foods and amalgam fillings/ vaccines. They must be detoxed from the CNS for your hormones to regulate. God Bless.
Hello I really love to see you thanks again for good info. Would like to know please did you use all of these herbs or what exactly to increase your ES level and help your UL😘thank you.
@@CristianGomez-ws6so most doctors don't believe in herbal supplements. My doctors never have anything to say when I mention and herb to them. And when I mention issues they tell me I just need to go tka reproductive endo if I don't want to are clomid.
Hi Vita, Alicia again, I started the shatavari today, and i don't know if it is the withdrawn effect from the vitex or what, but i feel all drowsy and tired, i basically slept all afternoon. did you encounter with this problem while transferring from vitex to shatavari? should i take them both or drop one by only taking one.... don't know, really need your experience to help thanks soooo much vita. love you ~
I didn't experience anything like it when starting shatavari, however I experienced all kinds of weird symptoms when weaning off Vitex. I didn't stop it abruptly, I weaned in around 2 months very gradually, yet I still didn't feel my best during that time. I only started taking shatavari when I stopped Vitex completely.
Ty for this video! I wonder if black cohosh works for women who had a hysterectomy. Since my ovaries were removed, i wonder if FSH will even be able to increase my estrogen production. Usually I'm prescribed estradiol, but my doctor's office was flooded and they can't see me for like a month and I've been having insaaaane hot flashes. I can't even sleep b/c they make me sweat sooo much even though the room is really cold, and then when the hotflash ends, the sweat immediately makes me freeezing cold. When I'm awake, i immediately strip down and starfish on the cold tiles in front of the AC vent. It's out of control. I've been eating a lot of licorice recently and noticed my symptoms are a bit better, instead of every 15 minutes, they're coming every 30 minutes instead. I really wonder what else i can try. I'm using this estroven from Amazon, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I wonder if i got a fake one, or if it's just not working cuse the black cohosh in it needs me to still have my ovaries. Idk
From what I read, the way black cohosh improves hot flashes isn't completely understood yet. It doesn't seem to raise estrogen levels per se, but it does have similar effects as if it was mimicking estrogen. So perhaps it would help even though you've had hysterectomy?
I just read that black cohosh has an effect on the brain, and that is how it may help hormones. So perhaps it may still help you? Here is the site and an extract: womeninbalance.org/2013/09/10/menopausal-symptom-relief/ Herbs Black Cohosh The single most commonly used herb for menopause across the world is black cohosh. This herb is found in a popular over-the-counter product and also on the shelves of herbalists, naturopathic physicians and alternative health care providers. Black cohosh has been shown to be effective at relieving menopausal symptoms, when the right dose and right product is used.* Black cohosh is not estrogenic does not mimic estrogen in the body. The proposed mechanism is that it works in the brain, acting on the neurotransmitters and hypothalamic hormones. Studies have shown it to effectively reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause without causing any harmful side effects. Remember, as previously stated, these effects are dependent on the dose and quality of the product* The most common dose used is 40 mg twice daily. Some studies have pointed to liver toxicity from black cohosh use; however this claim has been largely debunked when the quality of the supplement used in these studies was shown to be contaminated. (Another reminder to choose your product wisely)
I was on birth pill for years. When I stopped it, my estrogen was high. My period were not regular. Then I used DIM and after Vitex for a couple monthes, which normalized my period. When I stopped with both, my period got imbalanced again and my estrogen drooped to much. My prolactin is normal-high (on the edge). My doc wants to put me back on birth pill, but I dont want to get back to them. Do you think to get back for Vitex is a good idea? Or Shatavari might help me more? Im 32 and Im trying to conceive. Going through that is not beeing easy at all 😞
As Vitex helped you in the past, it's likely to work again. That's what I would try first. It's all very individual, only through trial and error can we find what works. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
Thank you for this informative video. Have you tried evening primrose oil? When you say low estrogen, does it mean low levels of all types of estrogen like estriol, estradiol , progesterone ? Or just estriol?
No, this applies to estradiol, the main estrogen in the female body. Estriol is only really found in detectable amounts in pregnant women. Progesterone isn't estrogen. Yes, I've tried evening primrose oil. It made my skin very soft but it didn't make a difference for my cycle. I've heard it can really help for low estrogen as well.
Some yes, although there haven't been enough scientific studies during pregnancy, so you really need to do your own research, work with your doctor, and make an informed decision.
Doctors don't know any thing about herbs and I have been searching for along time and till now no answer actually I have been using the herbs you mentioned for about one year and it works for me but I wounder if I became pregnant should I stop them, Iam afraid if I stop them I'd misscarry
@@smrsmr3663 I would say definitely. Once you miss your period stop all meds, herbs, etc. Some are safe some are carcinogenic. Better to be safe than sorry
@@Vitalivesfree ok what about vitex I heard that it tiggers progesterone can I continue taking vitex if I become pregnant especially if my progestrone is low
Can u please tell me if Estrogen (E1) level 10.3 pg/ml is low? ... I think it says that’s postmenopausal, but not sure if I’m reading this correctly. Estradiol (E2) 53.1 which I read is close to being too low. My Progesterone is in low levels for sure. I have extreme hair loss & hashimotos. I’m not sure if I’m both low on estrogen & progesterone or just estrogen dominate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 🙏🏽 Thank u!
Hi lovely. Thankyou for the helpful video . With all the herbs you used how did you know which was working and increasing the estrogen? I’m using vitex and red clover now and will need to go to do another test for changes but I noticed in the comments about Vitex being different for everyone . Also would you recommend red clover tea or capsule ? Love and gratitude
I didn't use all of them, and there is really no need to. One or two should be enough. When it comes to herbs, tea might be less potent than an extract in a capsule.
Hey....Is losing weight suddenly and height increase signs of low estrogen levels ? Coz I read somewhere that having estrogen in ur body doesn't increase height. I'm 15 and 5'7/5'8
Thank you for this video! I’ve done quite a lot of research on this topic and watched all the videos I could find and yours was the most informative and covered so many helpful aspects, like overtraining, that definitely play a roll. I appreciate it! ❤
Does phytoestrogen just help the body to produce more natural estrogen? Because I'm on birth control and there the pill suppresses the natural hormon production. So is food with phytoestrogens only for ppl who are not on birth control? Bc i feel like there's not enough estrogen in my pill bc ive got driness since months and other symptoms
when my levells were not so low I used a supplement called LEPIJET for 2,5 months and I have got my period... then I stopped it and I lost my period again... now i am to stressed to have a period and my hair keep thinning month after month :(.. i just... want to disappear
Very strange! Some say it shouldn't be taken during the luteal phase because it could be too cooling, and warmth is needed for conception. Maybe that's what the acupuncturist meant? ❤️
@@emadiongemediong7706 Yes, I think so. That's not how I took it because I just didn't know at that time. But if I had to take it again while trying to conceive, I would skip the luteal phase. ❤️
6:04 FSH doesn’t raise estrogen if ovaries are not producing estrogen. All FSH does is to tell the ovaries to produce estrogen. Increase FSH may not result in increase estrogen
M trying to concieve no baby after 5 years marriage. I used Clomid after we advice but no result.last 1 mnth i used flax seeds ashwgnda shatawri now my breast r tnder all time all mnth and low libido.also used maca powder 10 days
I suspect I got estrogen dominence.should I use vitex to treat breast tndernss it hurts.Can maca reduce breast tnderness ?plz guide I want a baby plzzzz
hi vita, really need you help. I have always being bloating all the time so i think i am estrogen dominant, then i start taking vitex to raise my progesterone from the day 15 of my menstrual cycle. the result is, i am not bloated at all and i feel good and i even lose some weight. then, bad news is i lost my period. go to the hospital to check and the result is i just am not even in the state of having a cycle even it is already ten days after when i should have the cycle. crazy. so i stopped vitex and i now have my bloating and water retention back. the doctor said i am having a low estrogen level so that is the reason why my uterus lining is too low. i am really confused now. what should i do, taking the pills for estrogen or retaking vitex.... i am really lost. and lost my period too....and suffer from depression and anxiety all together. i feel crazy.
Hi Alicia, Vitex seems to work a little differently for different people. I've seen some studies saying that it can raise both progesterone and estrogen levels at the same time. But then there are others who experienced estrogen lowering effect. That's what I experienced as well. Vitex lightened my periods, but it also lowered my estrogen, reduced my libido, dried my cervical mucus and thinned out my uterine lining. Eventually, I weaned myself off it and started taking only shatavari alone. I had even better results and got pregnant right away, which means that my uterine lining went thicker again. Vitex is a miracle for some, but not good at all for others. Yet for some others, it might improve some things, but mess up others. Shatavari was the best answer for me. It can help raise estrogen while improving progesterone levels as well. I would highly recommend researching it.
thanks soooooo much Vita, for your responds. Now i am linking the dots. I had an abortion last year still do not know the reason, and taking some DIM really messed things up that lightened my period ever since, then suddenly i suffered from mild depression and huge anxiety too. never ever in my life. now i reflect that i had some hot flashes during the night but i thought it is just summer hot( i could wake up all wet around the neck) back at that time , never thought it would be low estrogen as i had all regular periods in my life. and the life style is also one of the killers. i have been trying to lose weight obsessively and unsuccessfully, have been on keto and fasting, now i see they are really messing things up and making me more and more anxious with bad sleep and liver detoxification. I had also a very stressed job including traveling around. Now connecting the dots, it should be the hormonal imbalance-bad sleep-bad cortisol and bad everything-depression and anxiety plus already too much pressure. now i just need to take the load off. fix the estrogen first, baby step. I really admire you fixing everything really love your voice and glamorous skin and congrats on your pregnancy. i was also considering wild yam too but now i just don't want to try anything that could mess things up again. now i will focus onshatavari and danggui and maca or just onshatavari @@Vitalivesfree
Hi there! How long did you take those supplements for before you noticed any difference? I am 21 years old, but my blood tests show I have low estrogen but regular testosterone. I have been given a wild yam complex supplement with some of those herbs you mentioned, but I have been taking it for like 4 months, and they did help me for a bit but seem to not be helping anymore (I have acne because of the hormonal imbalances and this is how i measure whether things are 'helping' or not). Thanks!
I saw results fairly quickly, within a few weeks, but then my low estrogen was something I caused artificially by taking certain supplements and wrong lifestyle, so perhaps it was easier to treat.
I am 19 years old but i didn't get my first period and my scanning report are normal and my doctor suggested me to take birth control pills when I was taking the tablet i got my period otherwise I can not get why mam
@@chandanachandana4980 Ok. But do u get rid of hot flashes. I am just 17 and suffering badly. I think it’s because I did over exercises like weight lifting in this month
Estradiol was at 54 pmol/l on Day 9 of the cycle (range for the follicular phase is 46-607). I was having really bad flashes and palpitaions at the time. It was 5 days before the ovulation, so the levels should have been considerable higher.
@@Vitalivesfree hey dear this level is really too low for folliculer phase... then how u get pregnant? and how fast u improved ur uterine line extreme thin to thick? completely miracle.
@@mitthu47 Yes, it was very low but it was due to taking DIM and Vitex for a long while. After I started working on improving my low estrogen, taking shatavari, etc. It all got better very quickly. Within a cycle really, and that's when I got pregnant. ❤️
If your doctor is willing to cooperate, they can order a blood test for you. But most aren't that lucky, so the only option remains either getting a blood test at your local blood testing lab or ordering a saliva test online.
I made sure I didn't overexercise, ate well, slept well, didn't put pressure on myself to conceive, took the shatavari herb, and of course enjoyed the process. ;-)
Latha Rajesh there is no such thing as reducing t levels permanently and highering estrogen if u have problems issues , u'd have to take the herbs ur whole life
@@Vitalivesfree they surely do help. No symptoms that are crippling me so far. I’m 50 so I know the worse is yet to come. I hope to keep it that way. I’m doing other things especially weight training with kettle bells. Keeping those muscles strong is key. There’s so many methods for what ails us. Thanks for this information ♥️

@@Vitalivesfree however hogh fsh is like pre-manopause.. so yes.. looking into the herbs could help..
Thank you so much. I had estrogen dominance and I went over board I think. Was doing everything to encourage estrogen breakdown, fasting a lot and exercising. Now my estrogen has dropped so much.
That's what happened to me, too. It's a delicate balance. ❤️
By any chance did you had fibroids with high estrogen ?
Thanks for compiling this information in a nice video! So many things to try here and even a few already in my house to get started with. Good to know what worked for you as well! Thanks again
So glad you enjoyed the video!
thanks for this video , very informative, i am a young woman in my 20s and i believe my estrogen levels have dclined. i have a lot of the symptoms you described, low energy, fatigue, forgeting things quickly, headache, depression. Another thing that has happened is that where my body stores fat has changed. i am a size 6 and i have an hourglass shaped, so i am curvy. I have noticed that my curves have basically shrunk, my hips, butt and legs have losts their curves and i have become very skinny in those reegions. This has really affected my confidence because i love my curves, thats what made me physically attractive. its so obvious because theres now so much space in my jeans and skirts and my butt hurts when i sit. Please how can i rectify this. i have tried liveing a better stress free life, sleeping well and nothing. Please what can i take to get back my fullness in my lower body.
Our bodies change profoundly every 7 years or so. Perhaps it's simply your new shape? And if it's really low estrogen, i hope some of the remedies I talked about in the video help! 💖
PLEASE do a seperate Shatavari video!!!! Its so fabulous it deserves its own vid :)
I definitely will! I've had it on my topic list for a while. Definitely one of my favourite herbs ever.
What do you find it does? I see studies showing it either raises or lowers estrogen
3:59 Estrogen production
Hops is another really good one, but red clover is my favourite because it helps me sleep (so does hops) and gives me soft, glowing skin right away after one night! From there it only gets better.
Yay, balanced estrogen levels really do make a difference. ❤️
Hello, congrats on your pregnancy! I have watched many of your videos through the years because we have many of the same health issues. I do have hypothyroidism and am taking Nature throid. I struggle with acne, melasma, and shedding hair for years and I also adore cats (I cried last night when I saw your videos about Mikey). I just had a full hormone test through my naturopath. She thought I was progesterone deficient, but it turns out, I have plenty of progesterone, but am very very low in estrogen and pretty low in testosterone (but unfortunately favor metabolizing it towards DHT). I'm also super low in melatonin and serotonin. All my thyroid tests (full panel) come back normal through my naturopath. I've been on DIM for around 3 years and I think its really helped my acne, but the shedding of hair continues and I'm wondering if you can tell me more about how DIM causes hair loss and if it can really get estrogen out of balance, even good estrogen metabolites? My naturopath says no, and that I should keep taking it, but in the back of my mind I am concerned (she has me on so many supplements for my liver and thyroid). She said my test showed that I am getting rid of all the bad estrogens and they are really low, so the DIM is working well and that it shouldn't be getting rid of the good estrogen. Do you know any resources that can tell me more about this. I've searched everywhere and I can't find much about it lowering good estrogen and that it can get you out of balance? Also can it lower my DHT testosterone and thus that is why its helped my acne. Sorry for the length of my comment, you are just the first person I've heard say that DIM can get all estrogen out of balance and cause hair loss....
If you put "DIM and hair loss" in the google search box, you'll find so many forum threads talking about it. Thousands and thousands of women experience an improvement in acne but an increase in hair loss, and they eventually have to stop taking it. I feel that the science still doesn't really know how DIM works and it's all just guessing. I would never take DIM with low estrogen. And I never had issues with low estrogen until I started taking DIM containing supplements. DIM does seem to lower DHT testosterone but then there are also other supplements that can do the same without tampering with estrogen. Here's an interesting extract from an article I found: "The interaction between DIM and estrogen is complex. Sometimes it may block the effect of estrogen, while it may enhance estrogen activity in other circumstances. It may also have an anti-testosterone impact. The bottom line is that DIM may cause hormonal disturbances, reports NYU Langone Medical Center. DIM may lead to positive -- or negative -- effects on various types of hormone-sensitive cancers. For example, DIM has an anti-estrogenic effect, which may reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer, according to a study in “Thyroid” in March 2011. But researchers were surprised to find that DIM stimulated the growth of certain breast cancer cells, according to their report in “BMC Cancer” in July 2014." It's from here: www.livestrong.com/article/323870-the-side-effects-of-diindolylmethane-supplement/ (there are interesting resources underneath the article as well). By the way, estrogen is needed for proper serotonin production, so if you have low estrogen, serotonin will be low as well. Wishing you lots of healing!
Thank you so much for a thorough reply! I really appreciate it! Its been a rough road of acne, melasma, hair shedding, low energy, hypothyroidism, but someday I will figure it out. I just got the DutchPlus Hormone and it has just given me more questions and more confusion. I thought it would give me a definite path of what I need to do. I did find out I am very low in testosterone, but metabolize it more towards androgens, so I'm wondering if I should try something that helps block androgens, but not estrogen (like what you said). I will have to figure out what that might be because I do want to have enough estrogen as we want to start a family soon and I'm not young.
I didn't know you lived on a tropical island until I saw you talk about it in one of your videos. I live in Hawaii and also struggle terribly with dust mite allergies. Never had allergies until I moved here from Oregon. Sometimes I think I need to move back to a place where dust mites aren't a factor because I think my body is constantly having to fight it.
I watch the videos about copper and it made me think I may actually need copper because I've been taking zinc and avoiding copper in all supplements for years. All I ever hear and read about thyroid and acne is that I need zinc, but I'm wondering if I've over done it. Supplements are such a balancing act and it seems like herbs and supplements can help one thing, but make another imbalance. I want to trust my naturopath, but sometimes I think she is just trying to sell more supplements and isn't actually that detailed. A month ago she sold me 25 mg capsules of DHEA and I told her that I started getting so oily and had acne when I started taking them and she said to stop taking them. Then at my next appointment she said she made a mistake and started me too high on DHEA and that she accidentally forgot and gave me what she usually starts men on and that she should have given me 2.5 mg. I know we all make errors in life, but I wasn't too pleased because I got a bunch of acne hyperpigmentation from the breakout that was caused by the DHEA. If I made that error with my patient I would at least refund the $37 for the DHEA. I have a lot of money, time, supplements, and tests invested with her and I'm starting to question her expertise.
Anyways I apologize again for my lengthy comment.
I wish you a continued excellent pregnancy! and again thank you for all the info on your channel and your gentle spirit!
@@Juliet42110 Andrea what you have said resonates with me too especially hair shedding. How are you getting on and what are you using at the moment? You should incidentally believe in your practitioner as that will make a big difference and also curtail your need to constantly be searching for your own solution. You are afterall no doubt spending hundreds on paying the Naturpath so do be cautious. I know that I returned to a private specialist whom I trust implicitly after relocating and trying to find someone closer to home but I simply didn't believe they were on my side whereas the former practitioner was and is entirely genuine and will do everything to minimise costs. sending you a hug
Really helpful video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this video. I just recently found your channel but have already gotten so many a-haa moments here! I'm 35y and ttc (naturally, for over a year already). I had saliva hormone tests done and there my estradiol and estrone were both very low. Testosterone was a bit low too, progesterone was right in the middle. My periods are regular and I *should* be ovulating, but they're very light and usually last only 2 days, therefore I'm quessing my lining is quite thin. My cortisone and cortisol were then again high so I've been trying to focus on relieving stress lately. To help get estrogen higher I've been eating maca and vitex and drinking raspberry leaf tea for some months now and I'm now thinking of adding this shatavari and also red-clover tea and spearmint tea to my arsenal as well. Do you think I'm going way overboard with this all or would these still be beneficial? Or could I still add some more herbs from your list. Thank you thank you thank if you can tell me your opinion here, I'm getting sooo confused with all this. You're a true blessing!
I wouldn't add so many different things at the same, and especially so many things that do very similar things. Always best to introduce one thing at a time, otherwise you won't be able to tell what works and what doesn't. Wishing you lots of healing!
You are gold! Thank you for advice! xxx
thank you for sharing! god bless
Hi Vita, love your videos and how you explain things. Do you do meditation for stress/anxiety?
I do, but not as often as I'd like. I find it very helpful when I do.
My estrogen is so low that I'm not releasing ovaries and they form cysts because they are not released. I have no hope of being more feminine cause I'm asexual so sex is not going to happen. I might have failed in this reproductive part of life but faith in Jesus Christ is something we can all succeed in. If my stand for Jesus Christ is my only legacy in this life than its a life well lived.
Never lose hope for healing and the trust in your perfectly made body. Wishing you lots of healing!
May i ask you a question, what is exactly asexual?
@@kbm124 asexual is having no sexual desire. Some are asexual because they don't have sexual organs. These are eunuchs or modern day asexuals. People who exist better without sexual activity. Heterosexual people need sexual partner of the opposite sex and asexual don't desire such things.
I have all these symptoms and found out my estrogen is very low
I only took shatavari and then really focused on lifestyle changes. I wouldn't combine herbs like cohosh and shatavari. They kind of do the same thing, so there is really no need. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
Thank you so much.
Great video thank you
Hi Vita,
I was wondering how long it took for your hair shedding to slow down after you stopped taking DIM? Thank you!
It actually took quite a while, a few months.
Great video!!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you. This is very helpful. May I ask which doctor gave you the test for progesterone? My GYN wants me to go on hormone therapy because I have zero estrogen. However, I am concerned because I have breast calcifications and when I asked to have my progesterone level tested, he said that I need to see my primary doctor for progeesterone test. Any advices?
I ordered the test myself, no doctor. Not many doctors would agree to dig deep and test further things. Just look up hormone saliva testing online and order it yourself. Saliva tests are also more accurate than blood tests when it comes to estrogen and progesterone.
beautiful vid - how long did it take before your hair stopped falling as this is my main issue. I'm menopausal and not sure which herb to try first so would you say Shavtavri?
Hair loss is always delayed by 3 months, so that's more or less how long it took. Shatavari is a herb that did wonders for me, but it's not good for everyone. For example, if someone is estrogen dominant, it wouldn't be right. But for lowish estrogen and/or progesterone, it's great.
@@Vitalivesfree thanks what Shatvari dose did you take daily? Did it take Shatavari 3 months to work too? Mine is shedding and I get really tearful before showers as it just falls out. thank you
This is so cool! Ive been looking up ways to raise my Estrogen levels as my Estradiol was low this cycle, so low they had to cancel our cycle. After 18 months of trying to conceive I just feel defeated. I found a tea that I love but hadn’t used in a while and it has most of the herbs you mentioned in the last part of this video! I’ll definitely be trying to drink it now and a lot more of it ♥️

Dim only for 3 months in year.
Hello... I recently found out that my estradiol levels are very low and my uterus lining has gotten thinner. I am 24. I haven’t gotten my period in 3 months. I found your video and I really want to give Shatavari a try! My doctor prescribed me a birth control but I am really refusing to treat my body with It.
How long should I take Shatavari for? Should I stop It in case my period comes back 🙏🏻
I don’t really know how I should start this journey. I just want to regulate my estrogen naturally.
All gealth problems are linked to heavy metal toxicity and pesticides etc from our foods and amalgam fillings/ vaccines. They must be detoxed from the CNS for your hormones to regulate. God Bless.

Great video!! Thank you so much...
Where i can find Shtavari powder in canada ??! Please help!!!
Any health store online or Amazon?
Hi Vita, Alicia again, I started the shatavari today, and i don't know if it is the withdrawn effect from the vitex or what, but i feel all drowsy and tired, i basically slept all afternoon. did you encounter with this problem while transferring from vitex to shatavari? should i take them both or drop one by only taking one.... don't know, really need your experience to help thanks soooo much vita. love you ~
I didn't experience anything like it when starting shatavari, however I experienced all kinds of weird symptoms when weaning off Vitex. I didn't stop it abruptly, I weaned in around 2 months very gradually, yet I still didn't feel my best during that time. I only started taking shatavari when I stopped Vitex completely.
thanks so much for your reply. love you. I should learn from you by not mixing all herbs. they might be counter-acting with each other.@@Vitalivesfree
Alicia Ma do ur research and/or ask ur doctor
@@Vitalivesfree could be because vitex is more like progesterone, and progesterone is the relaxing hormone that can make you feel VERY tired...
Ty for this video! I wonder if black cohosh works for women who had a hysterectomy. Since my ovaries were removed, i wonder if FSH will even be able to increase my estrogen production. Usually I'm prescribed estradiol, but my doctor's office was flooded and they can't see me for like a month and I've been having insaaaane hot flashes. I can't even sleep b/c they make me sweat sooo much even though the room is really cold, and then when the hotflash ends, the sweat immediately makes me freeezing cold.
When I'm awake, i immediately strip down and starfish on the cold tiles in front of the AC vent. It's out of control. I've been eating a lot of licorice recently and noticed my symptoms are a bit better, instead of every 15 minutes, they're coming every 30 minutes instead.
I really wonder what else i can try. I'm using this estroven from Amazon, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I wonder if i got a fake one, or if it's just not working cuse the black cohosh in it needs me to still have my ovaries. Idk
From what I read, the way black cohosh improves hot flashes isn't completely understood yet. It doesn't seem to raise estrogen levels per se, but it does have similar effects as if it was mimicking estrogen. So perhaps it would help even though you've had hysterectomy?
I just read that black cohosh has an effect on the brain, and that is how it may help hormones. So perhaps it may still help you? Here is the site and an extract:
womeninbalance.org/2013/09/10/menopausal-symptom-relief/
Herbs
Black Cohosh
The single most commonly used herb for menopause across the world is black cohosh. This herb is found in a popular over-the-counter product and also on the shelves of herbalists, naturopathic physicians and alternative health care providers. Black cohosh has been shown to be effective at relieving menopausal symptoms, when the right dose and right product is used.*
Black cohosh is not estrogenic does not mimic estrogen in the body. The proposed mechanism is that it works in the brain, acting on the neurotransmitters and hypothalamic hormones. Studies have shown it to effectively reduce hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause without causing any harmful side effects. Remember, as previously stated, these effects are dependent on the dose and quality of the product* The most common dose used is 40 mg twice daily.
Some studies have pointed to liver toxicity from black cohosh use; however this claim has been largely debunked when the quality of the supplement used in these studies was shown to be contaminated. (Another reminder to choose your product wisely)
Thank you! 💕
I was on birth pill for years. When I stopped it, my estrogen was high. My period were not regular. Then I used DIM and after Vitex for a couple monthes, which normalized my period. When I stopped with both, my period got imbalanced again and my estrogen drooped to much. My prolactin is normal-high (on the edge). My doc wants to put me back on birth pill, but I dont want to get back to them. Do you think to get back for Vitex is a good idea? Or Shatavari might help me more? Im 32 and Im trying to conceive. Going through that is not beeing easy at all 😞
As Vitex helped you in the past, it's likely to work again. That's what I would try first. It's all very individual, only through trial and error can we find what works. Wishing you lots of baby dust!
thank you
Can you do one for the general public?
Not sure I understand your meaning. Can you clarify?
Thank you for this informative video. Have you tried evening primrose oil? When you say low estrogen, does it mean low levels of all types of estrogen like estriol, estradiol , progesterone ? Or just estriol?
No, this applies to estradiol, the main estrogen in the female body. Estriol is only really found in detectable amounts in pregnant women. Progesterone isn't estrogen. Yes, I've tried evening primrose oil. It made my skin very soft but it didn't make a difference for my cycle. I've heard it can really help for low estrogen as well.
Also the bottle reads 800mg of shatavari! Did that mean 800mg per capsule or per two capsule?
It should be written on the bottle whether it's per capsule or per two.
Can we use these herbs you mentioned in this video during pregnant
Some yes, although there haven't been enough scientific studies during pregnancy, so you really need to do your own research, work with your doctor, and make an informed decision.
Doctors don't know any thing about herbs and I have been searching for along time and till now no answer actually I have been using the herbs you mentioned for about one year and it works for me but I wounder if I became pregnant should I stop them, Iam afraid if I stop them I'd misscarry
@@smrsmr3663 I would say definitely. Once you miss your period stop all meds, herbs, etc. Some are safe some are carcinogenic. Better to be safe than sorry
That's what I did, too. Just to be on the safe side. Took only shatavari for the first couple of months, then stopped that, too. 💖
@@Vitalivesfree ok what about vitex I heard that it tiggers progesterone can I continue taking vitex if I become pregnant especially if my progestrone is low
Hi,i now its not post related, but i have question. Do you now some natural remedy for man prostate?
Saw palmetto comes to mind first. But I'm sure there are many others.
Saw Palmetto - I think there are clinical trials on this too
Can u please tell me if Estrogen (E1) level 10.3 pg/ml is low? ... I think it says that’s postmenopausal, but not sure if I’m reading this correctly. Estradiol (E2) 53.1 which I read is close to being too low. My Progesterone is in low levels for sure. I have extreme hair loss & hashimotos. I’m not sure if I’m both low on estrogen & progesterone or just estrogen dominate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 🙏🏽 Thank u!
Z10C ask ur doctor or do ur research
Hi lovely. Thankyou for the helpful video . With all the herbs you used how did you know which was working and increasing the estrogen? I’m using vitex and red clover now and will need to go to do another test for changes but I noticed in the comments about Vitex being different for everyone . Also would you recommend red clover tea or capsule ? Love and gratitude
I didn't use all of them, and there is really no need to. One or two should be enough. When it comes to herbs, tea might be less potent than an extract in a capsule.
VitaLivesFree thankyou . Appreciate your help . Peace xo
Did your estrogen level increase
My estrodial is 27..post menopausal. If I increase it to around 57 and my progedterone level at 4.7 will it help me lose weight?
I really can't answer that question for you. Balanced hormones are important for a healthy weight, but it's not the only factor involved.
Hey....Is losing weight suddenly and height increase signs of low estrogen levels ?
Coz I read somewhere that having estrogen in ur body doesn't increase height.
I'm 15 and 5'7/5'8
I can't answer that question for you. I've never heard of the height being affected by estrogen levels.
What are the first signs that let you know that what you're doing is working?
Just feeling better overall, feeling more positive, softer skin and hair, etc.
And better libido!
Thanks alot
Thank you for this video! I’ve done quite a lot of research on this topic and watched all the videos I could find and yours was the most informative and covered so many helpful aspects, like overtraining, that definitely play a roll. I appreciate it! ❤
Glad you found it helpful! ❤️
Which shavatari did you? Brand and such?
Organic India is my favourite. ❤️
Does phytoestrogen just help the body to produce more natural estrogen? Because I'm on birth control and there the pill suppresses the natural hormon production. So is food with phytoestrogens only for ppl who are not on birth control? Bc i feel like there's not enough estrogen in my pill bc ive got driness since months and other symptoms
But i also don't want to stop taking birth control yet i guess...
when my levells were not so low I used a supplement called LEPIJET for 2,5 months and I have got my period... then I stopped it and I lost my period again... now i am to stressed to have a period and my hair keep thinning month after month :(.. i just... want to disappear
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles, I really hope you find healing soon.
Some supplements like estrosense should come with some warnings then.
In my opinions yes, although it's everyone's responsibility to check for themselves whether they need it or not.
So why did accupunctrist i met told me to stop taking shatavari that it will prevent me from conceiving. God
Very strange! Some say it shouldn't be taken during the luteal phase because it could be too cooling, and warmth is needed for conception. Maybe that's what the acupuncturist meant? ❤️
@@Vitalivesfreeyeah but do you think is better during the follicular phase?
@@emadiongemediong7706 Yes, I think so. That's not how I took it because I just didn't know at that time. But if I had to take it again while trying to conceive, I would skip the luteal phase. ❤️

6:04 FSH doesn’t raise estrogen if ovaries are not producing estrogen. All FSH does is to tell the ovaries to produce estrogen. Increase FSH may not result in increase estrogen
Yes, that's right. Thank you for clarifying!

@@mahroshgul9098 did you succeed ?
hi vita, really need you help. I have always being bloating all the time so i think i am estrogen dominant, then i start taking vitex to raise my progesterone from the day 15 of my menstrual cycle. the result is, i am not bloated at all and i feel good and i even lose some weight. then, bad news is i lost my period. go to the hospital to check and the result is i just am not even in the state of having a cycle even it is already ten days after when i should have the cycle. crazy. so i stopped vitex and i now have my bloating and water retention back. the doctor said i am having a low estrogen level so that is the reason why my uterus lining is too low. i am really confused now. what should i do, taking the pills for estrogen or retaking vitex.... i am really lost. and lost my period too....and suffer from depression and anxiety all together. i feel crazy.
Hi Alicia, Vitex seems to work a little differently for different people. I've seen some studies saying that it can raise both progesterone and estrogen levels at the same time. But then there are others who experienced estrogen lowering effect. That's what I experienced as well. Vitex lightened my periods, but it also lowered my estrogen, reduced my libido, dried my cervical mucus and thinned out my uterine lining. Eventually, I weaned myself off it and started taking only shatavari alone. I had even better results and got pregnant right away, which means that my uterine lining went thicker again. Vitex is a miracle for some, but not good at all for others. Yet for some others, it might improve some things, but mess up others. Shatavari was the best answer for me. It can help raise estrogen while improving progesterone levels as well. I would highly recommend researching it.
thanks soooooo much Vita, for your responds. Now i am linking the dots. I had an abortion last year still do not know the reason, and taking some DIM really messed things up that lightened my period ever since, then suddenly i suffered from mild depression and huge anxiety too. never ever in my life. now i reflect that i had some hot flashes during the night but i thought it is just summer hot( i could wake up all wet around the neck) back at that time , never thought it would be low estrogen as i had all regular periods in my life. and the life style is also one of the killers. i have been trying to lose weight obsessively and unsuccessfully, have been on keto and fasting, now i see they are really messing things up and making me more and more anxious with bad sleep and liver detoxification. I had also a very stressed job including traveling around. Now connecting the dots, it should be the hormonal imbalance-bad sleep-bad cortisol and bad everything-depression and anxiety plus already too much pressure. now i just need to take the load off. fix the estrogen first, baby step. I really admire you fixing everything really love your voice and glamorous skin and congrats on your pregnancy. i was also considering wild yam too but now i just don't want to try anything that could mess things up again. now i will focus onshatavari and danggui and maca or just onshatavari @@Vitalivesfree
Hi dear ,can you update in detail how you fixed the issue
@@aliciama1178 did you fix it yet dear? I'm same as you too I did fasting and keto so now I even lost my period
Hi there! How long did you take those supplements for before you noticed any difference? I am 21 years old, but my blood tests show I have low estrogen but regular testosterone. I have been given a wild yam complex supplement with some of those herbs you mentioned, but I have been taking it for like 4 months, and they did help me for a bit but seem to not be helping anymore (I have acne because of the hormonal imbalances and this is how i measure whether things are 'helping' or not). Thanks!
Pretty quickly actually. Shatavari made a difference already in the first cycle and I fell pregnant right away.
Hello maam I have a irregular period since 4 month and my e2 level is 10 how to improve estrogen level maam. my age is 27.
This entire video is about improving estrogen levels. Everything I know is in it. Have you watched it?
@@Vitalivesfree yes I watched it and I have been taken boron supplement and licorice
I am 36 ttc
Currently have regular periods but suffer from hot flushes during my period.
Any herbs or supplements u recommend ?
Shatavari might be helpful.
Thank you!
How about fenugreek as herb?
That's another one that's know for increasing estrogen. Generally seeds though, I haven't heard of actual leaves being used.
Did you take maca while being pregnant?
No, I didn't. But I don't see any problem with it. Cultures in South America have always done it.
I'm telling the Mrs 😉💪👍✌️
Hope it helps!
how long did it take for you to recovery?
I saw results fairly quickly, within a few weeks, but then my low estrogen was something I caused artificially by taking certain supplements and wrong lifestyle, so perhaps it was easier to treat.
Can maca powder lower your estrogen?
I don't think so, as it's known to have an opposite effect.
how much mg of shatvari would you take?
I've tried a few different brands and I always just follow the dosing recommendations on the bottle.
C C ask ur doctor or research on what is the most mg u can take
I am 19 years old but i didn't get my first period and my scanning report are normal and my doctor suggested me to take birth control pills when I was taking the tablet i got my period otherwise I can not get why mam
Hi! Do u have low estrogen?
@@AK-zw3yz yes
@@chandanachandana4980 how do u know. Do u feel hot flashes? And what are u taking to boost estrogen?
@@AK-zw3yz now I am starting seed cycling
@@chandanachandana4980 Ok. But do u get rid of hot flashes. I am just 17 and suffering badly. I think it’s because I did over exercises like weight lifting in this month
How about DIM as a culprit ??
DIM can definitely be the culprit. It lowered estrogen too much for me.
what about fenugreek
It's good for low estrogen, too.
pls share what were your levels?
Estradiol was at 54 pmol/l on Day 9 of the cycle (range for the follicular phase is 46-607). I was having really bad flashes and palpitaions at the time. It was 5 days before the ovulation, so the levels should have been considerable higher.
Hi, mine was at 108 on day 11. I'm trying to get pregnant. Is that level really bad?
@@adrianarodriguez6999 hey dear did u get preganant? wanna hear good news.
@@Vitalivesfree hey dear this level is really too low for folliculer phase... then how u get pregnant? and how fast u improved ur uterine line extreme thin to thick? completely miracle.
@@mitthu47 Yes, it was very low but it was due to taking DIM and Vitex for a long while. After I started working on improving my low estrogen, taking shatavari, etc. It all got better very quickly. Within a cycle really, and that's when I got pregnant. ❤️
How did u check your estrogen level?
Wish a blood test.
Do these herbs/ supplements increase estrogen only? I have high progesterone but low estrogen.
Technically yes, but please research it on your own first.
Lawanduuhhh !! Do ur research and/or ask ur doctor
How do you test your own estrogen and progesterone levels? Or do you go to the Dr?
If your doctor is willing to cooperate, they can order a blood test for you. But most aren't that lucky, so the only option remains either getting a blood test at your local blood testing lab or ordering a saliva test online.
Also would chavarti help with high estrogen?
I don't think so. It's more suitable for normal or low estrogen.
Can you pls share your supplement regime and life regime in general which help you raise Esterogen and fall prego ultimately. TIA❤️
I made sure I didn't overexercise, ate well, slept well, didn't put pressure on myself to conceive, took the shatavari herb, and of course enjoyed the process. ;-)
Could u pls advice me to increase estrogen and decrease testosterone levels permanently...
I'm not a doctor, so I can't give you individual advice.
Latha Rajesh there is no such thing as reducing t levels permanently and highering estrogen if u have problems issues , u'd have to take the herbs ur whole life
your discribeing me
is there a way to test estrogen at home?
If you order a saliva testing kit, you cant test it at home.
@@Vitalivesfree Hi what is the testing kit you used? Can you please give me the name?
Avocado 🥑. 3 a day that’s all you need. 😅
If only it was that easy. ❤️
@@Vitalivesfree they surely do help. No symptoms that are crippling me so far. I’m 50 so I know the worse is yet to come. I hope to keep it that way. I’m doing other things especially weight training with kettle bells. Keeping those muscles strong is key. There’s so many methods for what ails us. Thanks for this information ♥️
Don't take oil. All you need are eggs.
Eggs to increase estrogen?
Really?
Thanks so much
