Menopause can result in a decline in hormone levels, including testosterone, which is essential for various aspects of a woman's health. Here are some natural ways a menopausal woman can increase her testosterone levels: #menopause #testosterone
Exercise & physical activity: Regular exercise, particularly strength training & high-intensity interval training (HIIT), have shown to raise testosterone levels. Incorporate a mix of cardio & resistance training exercises into your routine to help maintain healthy hormone levels
A nutrient-rich diet is essential for hormonal balance: Include both lean & fatty meat, eggs & fish, fats (like those found in avocados, ghee, lard, tallow & olive oil). Specific foods, such as cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, & cabbage), support hormone production.
Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances, including reduced testosterone levels. Practice stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage stress and support overall hormone health
Prioritize sleep: Adequate sleep is vital for hormone production and overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help regulate hormone levels and support overall well-being.
Carrying excess body fat can negatively impact hormone levels, including testosterone. Achieving & maintaining a healthy weight through keeping Insulin levels low with a #LCHPMF #keto or #Carnivore diet & exercise can help support hormonal balance
Natural supplements help support hormone production & balance. Examples include DHEA, Maca root, Zinc & glandulars (PMG's). Consult with a healthcare professional before starting new supplements to be advised on possible interactions w/ other medications you may be taking

Keys to successful fat loss:

Get some momentum going as quick as possible. Once seeing progress, it's hard to want to sabotage that

Eat 2 primary meals a day about 6-7 hours apart. Let I.F. work for you

First meal of the day should be heavy in protein & good fat=Satiety pic# 1 Image
Last meal of the day should be high protein, lower in fat & around 30-50gms of carbohydrate for optimal hormonal signaling & conversion. Picture #2

If you need to eat between the 6-7 hour window, make it moderate in protein, moderate in fat & low in carbohydrate. Picture #3 ImageImage
Some will need to start lower carb @SBakerMD and some will need to eat as much as 70-80 grams of carbohydrate a day @CarnivoreMD. This is determined by gender, age, activity level, hormone status & Adrenal/Thyroid health, so get this

1/7 Leptin has been firmly established as the essential hormone for the maintenance of energy homeostasis and body weight, and leptin resistance has been widely recognized as the key risk factor for obesity. Leptin promotes weight loss primarily by activating the LEPRb pathways
2/7 in the brain, particularly in the hypothalamus. To provide the most comprehensive support for weight management, you need more than the standard metabolic health support. Special attention should be paid to the endocrine aspects of metabolism and appetite - in addition to

1/4 This is straight from Ray Peat, PHD
Few on the planet have his understanding of this situation.
Estrogen blocks the release of hormone from the thyroid gland, and progesterone facilitates the release. Estrogen excess or progesterone deficiency tends to cause enlargement
2/4 of the thyroid gland, in association with a hypothyroid state. Estrogen can activate the adrenals to produce cortisol, leading to various harmful effects, including brain aging and bone loss. Progesterone stimulates the adrenals and the ovaries to produce more progesterone,
3/4 but since progesterone protects against the catabolic effects of cortisol, its effects are the opposite of estrogen’s. Progesterone has antiinflammatory and protective effects, similar to cortisol, but it doesn’t have the harmful effects. In hypothyroidism,

1/4 How do seed oils cause hormonal imbalances?

There are many changes in hormones caused by unsaturated fats. Their best understood effect is their interference with the function of the thyroid gland. Unsaturated oils block thyroid hormone secretion, its movement in the

circulatory system, and the response of tissues to the hormone. When the thyroid hormone is deficient, the body is generally exposed to increased levels of estrogen. The thyroid hormone is essential for making the "protective hormones" progesterone and pregnenolone,
3/4
so these hormones are lowered when anything interferes with the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormone is required for using and eliminating cholesterol, so cholesterol is likely to be raised by anything which blocks the thyroid function.
