ON THIS WEEK'S LIVING WELL. >> ALL RIGHT, DR. JOSH, I NEED YOU TO TALK ABOUT HORMONES.
YOU KNOW, I DEAL WITH THIS.
AS I'M AGING, YOU KNOW, I GET
VERY FORGETFUL.
AND AS I WAS READING ON THE WEB
SITE, THAT CAN BE LINKED WITH
HORMONAL IMBALANCE.
HOW DO I NATURALLY BALANCE MY
HORMONES?
HORMONEAM ISSUES IN THE U.S.
TODAY, AND ACROSS THE WORLD IS A
BIG DEAL FOR A LOT OF WOMEN.
THEY STRUGGLE WITH HEIGHT,
ESTROGEN, LOW ROW JEST RONE AND
THYROID ISSUES.
MEN ARE STRUGGLING WITH LOW
TESTERONE AND RENAL ISSUES.
THE REASON IT IS SUCH A BIG
DEAL, AMANDA, WE ARE CREATED TO
FULFILL OUR GOD GIVEN PERSON IN
LIFE.
WHEN YOU ARE TIRED, WHEN YOU
HAVE IMBALANCED HORMONES,
IRRITABLE, DEPRESSED, STRUGGLING
WITH HORMONE IMBALANCE, IT CAN
AFFECT YOU AND ANYBODY FROM
GOING OUT THERE AND REALLY BEING
ABLE TO FULFILL THEIR GOD GIVEN
MISSION.
I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THOUSANDS,
HUNDREDS OF PASTORS IN MY CLINIC
OVER THE YEARS.
AND, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
WOULD ALWAYS TELL THEM, I WOULD
SAY, HEY, PASTOR, YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE ARE DOG THIS BECAUSE I WANT
TO SEE YOU PREACH IN ANOTHER
20-30 YEARS AND SO, WHEN IT
COMES TO BALANCING HORMONES
NATURALLY, THE NUMBER ONE
MISTAKE I SEE PEOPLE MAKING, IS
THEY ARE CONSUMING TOO MUCH
SUGAR AND NOT ENOUGH HEALTHY
FAT.
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
>> SUGAR IS CONNECTED TO
HORMONES?
>> IT ABSOLUTELY CAN BE.
IN FACT, IT IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST REASONS WHY WOMEN TODAY
CAN STRUGGLE WITH ADRENAL ISSUES
AND THYROID ISSUES AN MEN WITH
LOW TESTOSTERONE.
YES, CONSUMING TOO MUCH SUGAR IS
AN ISSUE YOU.
BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM TODAY IS
NOT GETTING ENOUGH HEALTHY FAT
IN THE DIET.
YOU KNOW, WE WEPT THROUGH A
PERIOD OF PROBABLY ABOUT 30
YEARS WHERE EVERYONE SAID, FAT
IS BAD.
YOU DON'T WANT FAT.
THE TRUTH IS, YOUR BODY WILL
TURN SUGAR INTO FAT MUCH FASTER
THAN YOUR BODY WILL TURN FAT
INTO FAT.
YOUR BODY CAN BURN FAT FOR
ENERGY IF YOU ARE EATING THE
RIGHT TYPE OF FATS.
HEALTHY FATS ARE PRECURSORS AND
REALLY SUPPORT NATURALLY
BALANCED HORMONES.
YOU HAVE TO GET HEALTHY FATS.
IN THREE CATEGORIES OF FATS.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO GET IN THEIR
DIET AND NUMBER ONE, ARE OMEGA 3
FATTY ACIDS.
OMEGA 3 FATS REDUCE INFLAMMATION
AND REALLY ALMOST EVERY HEALTH
ISSUE TODAY, IS INFLAMMATORY IN
NATURE.
IN FACT, ANYTHING WITH ITIS AT
THE END, MEANS INFLAMMATION.
SO ARTHRITIS, THAT IS
INFLAMMATION OF THE JOINTS.
ULCER OF COLITIS, THAT IS
INFLAMMATION OF THE COLON.
EVEN MOST HEART DISEASE TODAY,
NOT CAUSED BY HIGH CHOLESTEROL.
WHY IS CHOLESTEROL GOING DOWN?
THERE IS INFLAMMATION IN YOUR
ARTERIES.
OMEGA 3 FATS ARE THE NUMBER ONE
THING THAT YOU CAN START
CONSUMING TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION
AND NATURALLY BALANCED HORMONES.
YOU WILL FIND OMEGA 3 FATS IN
FISH LIKE SALMON.
OMEGA 3 FATS IN CERTAIN NUTS AND
SEEDS LIKE CHIA SEEDS, FLAX
SEEDS AND WALNUTS.
ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE MY
PATIENTS DO, MAKE A TRAIL MIX
WITH WALNUTS AND RAISINS AN
CARRY THOSE AROUND AND EAT THOSE
DURING THE DAY.
THE OMEGA 3 FATS ARE GREAT.
DPRAS FED MEAT PRODUCTS.
GRASS FED MEAT, PASTOR RAISED
DAIRY.
THAT IS WHERE YOU GET THE OMEGA
3 FATS.
BECAUSE THEY EAT THE GRASS, THEY
ARE GETTING THE OMEGA 3 WHEN WE
EAT THEM.
YOU ARE GETTING IT.
>> YOU ARE WHAT THEY EAT WHAT
THEY ATE AS WE TALKED ABOUT.
>> THE SECOND FAT YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE GETTING
IN YOUR DIET, HEALTHY SATURATED
FATS.
THAT SURPRISES PEOPLE.
A LOT OF TIME, PEOPLE THINK THAT
WELL, SATURATED FAT IS BAD.
WELL, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT
TYPES OF SATURATED FAT.
IN FACT, I HAD A PHYSICIAN ASK
ME THIS ONCE, ARE YOU SURE
SATURATED FAT IS HEALTHY?
I KNOW IT IS HEALTHY, BECAUSE
THE NUMBER ONE TYPE OF FAT IN
HUMAN BREAST MILK IS SATURATED
FAT.
FATSY ACID CALLED LURIC ACID.
NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF HEALTHY
SATURATED FAT IS GOING TO BE
COCONUT OIL.
I HAVE A GREAT ARTICLE ABOUT
THIS ON MY WEB SITE DR. AX, ON
COCONUT OIL.
COCONUTS CONTAIN GOOD SATURATED
FAT THAT YOUR BODY CAN BURN FOR
ENERGY AND NOT STORED AS FAT
LIKE SOME OTHER TYPES OF FAT
ARE.
THIS IS WHY I REALLY COOK WITH
COCONUT OIL.
AND THEN, I'LL ALSO ADD SOME
COCONUT MILK INTO SUPER FOOD
SMOOTHIE FOR BREAKFAST.
YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF THOSE
SUPER FOOD SMOOTHIE RECIPES ON
MY WEB SITE AS WELL.
BUT I REALLY THINK THAT COKE NUT
OIL IS THE BEST TYPE OF
SATURATED FAT.
>> HOW IS COCONUT OIL IS
HEATING?
I KNOW WHEN YOU HEAT CERTAIN
OILS IT IS NOT GOOD.
>> THIS IS AGAIN WHY COCONUT OIL
IS MY NUMBER ONE FAT THAT WE
SHOULD BE GETTING.
UNFORTUNATELY, OLIVE OIL IS IN
VEGETABLE OIL AND IF YOU HEAT
THEM, THEY CAN BECOME, START TO
OXIDIZE.
AND YOU CAN TURN THEM FROM BEING
A GOOD HEALTHY OIL INTO A BAD
OIL.
COCONUT OIL HAS A HIGH HEAT
THRESHOLD.
SO YOU CAN EAT IT, COOK WITH IT.
AND IT IS STILL, EVERYTHING IS
STILL PRESERVED.
NOTHING IS CHANGED.
SO COCONUT OIL IS THE BEST OIL
YOU CAN BEK COOKING WITH.
AND THEN, LAST BUT NOT LEAST,
HEALTHY FATS ARE OMEGA 9 FATSS.
THOSE ARE FOUND IN EXTRA VIRGIN
OLIVE OIL, AVOCADO, THINGS LIKE
ALMONDS.
GOOD OMEGA 9, MONO SATURATED
FATS AND DIET, AND TRYING TO EAT
AVOCADOS AND OLIVE OIL AND
ALMONDS EVERY DAY, THOSE ARE
GREAT THINGS TO HELP NATURALLY
BALANCED HORMONES.
ALSO, WHEN IT COMES TO HORMONE,
I WOULD SAY THIS.
REALLY TRYING TO REDUCE THE
STRESS LEVELS.
AND, EATING CERTAIN OTHER FOODS
THAT ARE HIGH IN NUTRIENTS LIKE
MAGNESIUM, YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE
TODAY, IN AMERICA, HAVE A
MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY.
WE HEARD ABOUT CALCIUM AND HOW
IMPORTANT CALCIUM IS.
THE TRUTH IS, MAGNESIUM IS MORE
IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON GETTING ON
YOUR DIET ON A REGULAR BASIS.
I HAVE AN ARTICLE IN MY TITLE,
THE TOP 10 MAGNESIUM FOODS.
I RECOMMEND EVERYONE GO AND LOOK
AND TRY TO CONSUME THOSE TOP TEN
MAGNESIUM FOODS.
NUMBER ONE ON THE LIST IS
SPINACH.
SPINACH IS PACKED WITH MAGNESIUM
SO ARE AVOCADOS, SO ARE CHIA
SEEDS.
GETTING MORE VEGETABLE, MORE
NUTS AN SEEDS IN YOUR DIET, AND
THEN, THINGS LIKE WILD CAUGHT
FISH LIKE SALMON, ALL PACKED
WITH MAGNESIUM.
>> THIS IS WONDERFUL
INFORMATION.
I'M, THINKING, I NEED TO GET MY
COCONUT OIL.
AND I NEED TO GET WALNUTS.
AND, I HAVE RAISINS ON HERE.
AND SPINACH.
SO POPEYE'S FOOD WAS LEALLY
SUPER FOOD.
>> BY THE WAY, WRITING THIS OUT,
I HAVE A HEALING FOOD SHOPPING
LIST ON MY WEB SITE.
IF YOU WANT THE WHOLE SHOPPING
LIST, CHECK THAT OUT THERE AS
WELL.
>> OKAY.
THAT IS RIGHT ON OUR WEB SITE.
ACTUALLY ON HIS BUT YOU CAN GO
TO CTVN.ORG AND LOOK UP DR.
AX'S WEB SITE.
SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH
US TODAY.
>> AWESOME.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
