Oooh first to comment! Thanks for covering women’s health… needs a lot more research. I suffer with endo and it’s been a very long and frustrating journey with no real end in sight yet!
Higher levels of estrogen circulating in the body can worsen the pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis. Consuming red and processed meat, which may be associated with increased estrogen levels, has been shown to increase the risk of endometriosis, according to several studies. The Nurses’ Health Study II showed that women consuming more than two servings of red meat per day had a 56% greater risk of endometriosis, compared with those consuming less than one serving of red meat per week. Increased poultry intake was also associated with higher risk of endometriosis. Another study found that a higher intake of beef, other red meat, and ham was associated with an increased risk of developing endometriosis. Reducing dietary fat and increasing dietary fiber, which is found only in plant foods, has been shown to reduce estrogen levels by about 10-25%. Plant-based diets are typically lower in fat and higher in fiber than ones including animal products. In a clinical trial of women with menstrual pain, a low-fat vegan diet was associated with increased plasma concentrations of sex-hormone binding globulin, which, in turn would be expected to reduce estrogen activity. Research shows that vitamin C, which is found in citrus as well as other fruits and vegetables, and vitamin E, which is found in nuts and seeds and certain fruits and vegetables may also reduce endometriosis symptoms. Seaweed may also be beneficial. A study in healthy postmenopausal women found seaweed consumption lowered estrogen levels. A case study of premenopausal women found that intake of bladderwrack, an edible brown kelp, reduced estrogen levels. While these studies suggest the potential benefits of seaweed consumption on estrogen concentrations, the effects on endometriosis await further research. The authors say it is not yet known how universal the benefits of a healthy plant-based diet will be for women with endometriosis, and further studies are in progress. -Physicians Committee-
Foods that may positively affect endometriosis fibrous foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. iron-rich foods, such as dark leafy greens, broccoli, beans, fortified grains, nuts, and seeds. foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as salmon, sardines, herring, trout, walnuts, chia, and flax seeds. Go easy on fish-mercury and microplastics.
@@lilydauber3147 you have to be careful with the bladderwrack tho - because too much is very dangerous (ovedose of iodine). Also it tastes terrible. It really helped my daughter with endo. We will be trying those starch packets to subdue the taste.
I wish I'd know this before my hysterectomy. And thyroidectomy. *sigh* It was just so hard to even get diagnosed with fibroids and no one even mentioned endometriosis until I read about it in my surgical notes.
Plants FTW🌱💪 It's a shame thinking about all the needless suffering that could be avoided/cured with something as simple as a (whole-foods) plant-based diet..
Hi, @jencollier8306! Bladderwrack is a type of kelp, and Dr. Greger cautions that kelp may provide too much iodine, which can be as harmful as too little. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-natural-source-of-iodine/ Most seaweeds, also known as sea vegetables, can provide iodine, but hijiki/hiziki is not recommended due to arsenic exposure risks. Selenium is also important for thyroid health, and Brazil nuts are great sources. Four nuts per month provide enough selenium for most people, with the bonus effect of improving cholesterol levels. More on that here: nutritionfacts.org/video/four-nuts-once-a-month/ You can find everything on our site related to thyroid health here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/thyroid-health/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, MPH, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
Women you know, perhaps your sister, wife, mother, aunt, cousin, friend, neighbor, client has endometriosis. This woman may be in extreme pain and suffering and also may be infertile as a result. If you don't care about the women in your life I hope they know it and act accordingly

Thanks 😊 Already on a plant based diet for the last 5 years of so… could certainly improve with regards anti-inflammatory foods like greens though.

So sorry for what you have been through. I hope you are feeling better and that we get better at managing this disease
Every time Dr. Greger says he does all this public service work as a tribute to his grandmother, I get chills! It's extraordinary!
I love Drs Greger’s and Joel Fuhrman’s science-based meta-analysis facts to live by.
I am living testimony in good health! Age is only a number.
Yes love them both. Dr. Furhman started me down this right path
I love this channel!

Amazing video, thank you
Is this amount of bladderwick ok for hypothyroidism? Regarding the iodine. Thank you!

Looking forward to the new book!
Wonder where would you find sea weeds to buy. I have seen only sea weed chips in the stores here in Australia
I get bladderwrack as a capsule online 🙂
@@robynskeletons6881 thank 😊 you
try Korean, Japanese or Chinese stores - seaweed is a staple for East Asian cuisine.
💕
Thanks
What does the research say about women being in birth control?
😮😊
I'm a man, I skip this video.
With that attitude, of sorts, this research might have been skipped all along.
This may also help you prevent getting prostate cancer!

@@os2958 They dont care
But you felt some childish need to post a completely pointless comment. You could've have just moved on. You don't sound like much of a "man".
