1 Keep Menopause Away: How to Stay Young & Feminine Forever Natural Strategies for Achieving Peak Female Hormone Health By Jasmine Stuart

2 Why We Need Healthy Hormones? This short report will cover how to naturally keep your hormones in the right range and reach peak hormone health, so that you can delay menopause, prevent early menopause, and fight parasites more aggressively. Since having healthy hormones is extremely helpful in eliminating parasites, it s something we need to strive for. Hormone health is intimately related to everything in our life. If we have healthy hormones, life becomes much more full & vibrant. When we have high levels of estrogen, our battle against parasites become much harder. We need to strategically and cleverly lower our estrogen levels down while simultaneously fighting parasites. By the same token, progesterone has been recently found to be very crucial and effective at fighting off bad organisms. That is good to know because, if we can naturally increase our progesterone using the strategies in this book, we will be able to eliminate parasites much faster. Again, the healthier our hormones are, the better our health and almost everything in our life will be.

Progesterone & Estrogen Hormones are the master switches of metabolism. They tell our cells what to do. They are chemical messengers, like neurotransmitters.

3 Progesterone & Estrogen Hormones are the master switches of metabolism. They tell our cells what to do. They are chemical messengers, like neurotransmitters. Our body fat composition and energy levels are very closely associated with our different hormones. They also regulate your weight. This is crucial to be aware of, because many people do all the right diets, and try their best, but their hormones are imbalanced, so they're battling the last 25 pounds, wondering why they never seem to be losing them. Does that sound familiar? In a woman, there is a bit more complexity than in a man. Due to many factors such as toxicity in the environment, plastics in the environment, and age- related stress, a

4 woman s body is generally going to be a little bit more susceptible to damage, hormonal imbalances, parasites, and premature aging, than a man's body. To better understand this, we need to define two important female hormones: progesterone, and estrogen. Progesterone Is the primary feminizing hormone The dominant female sex hormone Opposes estrogen Allows for gestation of a child Protects against cancer Women need enough progesterone in their system to balance out the estrogens in their system (whether natural or chemical estrogens.) Estrogen Is essentially the hormone that creates sexual feelings in females Is responsible for stimulating the characteristics that make a woman a female. Is responsible for the development of breasts, the uterus and other tissues. Regulates healthy metabolism in liver Sometimes gets stuck in liver (because of age- related accumulation, xenoestrogens, and food estrogens) Estrogen is actually a word for a group of female hormones that includes estrone, estradiol, and estriol. Women have to maintain their progesterone levels so that it balances the estrogens in their bodies. It is believed that women with low progesterone are five times more likely to develop cancer. If we become unbalanced with too much estrogen in our bodies, we become much more susceptible to health issue in the future.

6 Causes of Hormone Imbalances Causes of hormone imbalances include: Mercury toxicity Nutritional deficiencies Parasites Consumption of soy products Birth control pills Overconsumption of alcohol Medication Rancid fats Exposure to chemicals, pesticides, and all kinds of pollution in our environment. We have more than 77,000 chemicals in our environment that we are constantly exposed to. One of the results of chemicals in our environment is that some of the chemicals mimic estrogens in our bodies. These chemical estrogens are absorbed by our bodies and often lead to creating an imbalance in our body with too many estrogens (either natural or chemical. The chemical estrogens are often referred to as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens are a type of xenohormone that imitates estrogen in the body. They are widely used in industrial compounds such as PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), BPA (bisphenol) and Phthalates (which are in plastic bottles), that have estrogenic effects on a living organism even though they differ chemically from the natural hormones or the naturally occurring estrogenic substances internally produced by the endocrine system of the body.

7 In addition to chemical estrogens from the environment, some foods, such as soy, contain phytoestrogens, which mimic estrogen in our system as well. Dr. Mary Enig pointed out that two or three servings of soy per day is the equivalent of a birth control pill. That's how estrogenic soy is. Also, birth control pills are just as harmful. If you have been on birth control for ten or twenty years and then you come off, you are going to be dealing with major hormonal imbalances. The pill is one of the leading contributors to hormone imbalances. With the xenoestrogens, phytoestrogens, and our own natural estrogen, our hormones are very likely to get out of balance. And all of this excess estrogen stagnates the liver. It sits in the liver and it's stuck. We need to break it down and remove it from our body. Excess estrogen creates a condition in the body that is commonly called estrogen dominance which is often the main cause of chronic migraine headaches, insomnia, chronic acne, inability to lose weight, mood swings, and most importantly, parasites.

8 The Five- Part Program for Peak Hormone Health More and more doctors and experts are recommending bio- identical hormones or progesterone creams. Some are even, sadly, recommending hormone replacement therapy, which can be destructive to our health in the long term. However, if we can balance our hormones naturally, then we should do it naturally. With age, all hormones go down. However, the issue is that progesterone goes down faster than the estrogens do. The goal is to flip that backwards. We want the progesterone to counterbalance the estrogens. This report will explain how we can achieve that through following a five- part program.

Part One - Liver and Hormone Methylation Ultimately, excess estrogen is a liver toxicity. Estrogen can get stuck in our liver if we don t have enough methyl groups in our diet.

9 Part One - Liver and Hormone Methylation Ultimately, excess estrogen is a liver toxicity. Estrogen can get stuck in our liver if we don t have enough methyl groups in our diet. A "methyl" group is one carbon connected to three hydrogen atoms. Methylation is simply the adding or removal of the methyl group to a compound or other element. Methylation turns on detox mechanisms in the body that detox the body of chemicals. We can get rid of the "bad" estrogen that has accumulated in the liver with methylation. Foods, herbs and supplements with methyl groups can detoxify our liver of the bad estrogens. We need to have enough methylators in our diet to detoxify our liver of excess estrogen. The absolute best methylator is betain, which can be mainly found in beets and beet juice (hence the name bet- ain) and is also found in goji berries. Another methylator is MSM, which is part of the ParasitesRelief program. When we re first starting off with the ParasitesRelief program, we won t be able to have beet juice or goji berries, due to their sugar content. However, a powerful strategy would be to ferment them. We can add both beets and goji berries to our sauerkrauts and other fermented drinks and foods. The friendly bacteria would eat the sugar away and leave us with the good stuff.

Part Two - Removing The "Bad" Estrogens In addition to detoxifying our livers with methylators, we still need to remove the bad estrogens from our bodies.

everything.), iodine, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccolo, which are the most potent.

10 Part Two - Removing The "Bad" Estrogens In addition to detoxifying our livers with methylators, we still need to remove the bad estrogens from our bodies. Some foods that assist in removing the bad estrogens from our bodies are berries, lemon or lime peel (So you can actually juice the whole lemon and the whole lime, everything the seeds, the skin, everything.), iodine, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccolo, which are the most potent. However, the #1, most powerful bad estrogen remover is Indole- 3- carbinol (I3C), which is the active ingredient in broccoli. The best way to get I3C is through supplementing. I strongly recommend taking a natural supplement named EstroGuard by Rejuvenation Science Labs, of which a bottle has the I3C equivalent of about 5 pounds of broccoli.

Part Three - Natural Aromatase Inhibitors An additional issue can be when progesterone turns, or back- flips, into bad estrogen, a process named aromatase.

11 Part Three - Natural Aromatase Inhibitors An additional issue can be when progesterone turns, or back- flips, into bad estrogen, a process named aromatase. Natural aromatase inhibitors can stop this from happening. The following compounds block aromatization: Passionflower Chamomile Resveratrol from grapes. Can be taken as a supplement. Oleuropein found in all parts of the olive tree Quercetin found in onions, apple skins, berries, cruciferous vegetables Of those, passionflower is by far the greatest and most potent. Thus, so far we have beets and MSM for methylation of the liver, I3C from broccoli or a supplement like EstroGuard for removing bad estrogen, and passionflower for inhibiting aromatization.

12 Part Four - Natural Hormone Builders The number one building block of all hormones is cholesterol. That's why cholesterol- lowering medication can be dangerous, because it can get you below a threshold where you can no longer produce hormones. Cholesterol- lowering medication is a result of a theory that believes that high cholesterol is associated with imminent heart attack, which has been proven to be false. We can get cholesterol from healthy sources such as those in our ParasitesRelief program, such as ghee, coconut oil and cacao butter. There are other natural hormone building blocks that can come from our diet. They include: Chaste berry, also called vitex berry very important, as it contains bio- identical progesterone Royal jelly. Extremely powerful hormone builder and fertility food for women. Coconut products very important as they contain pregnenolone, which is converted into progesterone in the body.

13 Complete protein sources, such as brown rice protein, hemp protein, protein from goji berry, bee pollen, Spirulina, and chlorella. Bee pollen and pine pollen Cacao, which is real raw chocolate. Cacao will, rarely, worsen the parasites symptoms and thus I did not recommend it in the ParasitesRelief program. However it does not have any sugar and can be a very helpful food for curbing cravings. Colostrum contains many hormonal precursors DHA from fish oil and algaes Fennel plants Maca Saturated fats from ghee, coconut oil, palm oil, and other healthy oils recommended in the ParasitesRelief book

14 Part Five. Herbal Hormone Support The following ten herbs can be used to support natural female hormones and help make everything work better. They all have been studied and shown to have positive hormonal effects. Dong quai Ginseng Pearl Shatavari Gynostemma Eucommia Kelp rich in minerals and thus important for building hormones Red raspberry leaf Tulsi (also called Holy Basil) Astragalus
