Common scenario : 45-50 yo F. Years of low fat dieting stressing liver function leading to faulty Estrogen metabolism. Progesterone is declining. This woman has a lot going on in life & is under stress & the little progesterone she is making is being shunted to make Cortisol
This scenario is negatively effecting Thyroid function thus hindering cellular metabolism. This perfect storm leads to weight gain, insomnia, inflammation, GI distress, mood swings & often problems with hair, skin & nail health. Brain fog & forgetfulness may also be concerns
Generalized remedy
Get Insulin under control = Lower carb
⬆️ Protein = Liver & repair
Moderate fat & only use Sat fat = ⬇️ Oxidative stress
Exercise = ⬆️ blood flow to organs post workout
Decrease Estrogen Dominance, support Thyroid and Adrenals w/ proper supplementation
