Ready to fight estrogen
and take it down? Let's go!
Today's video is all about
practical tips you can use
right now to start making a
difference. We've got three
easy tips for you we don't want you to
miss, so keep watching!
MOOBS!
Estrogen is necessary in the body,
especially in women, but also in men.
There are, however, a host of problems
associated with too much estrogen,
ranging from weight gain in the short
term to cancer in the long term.
The tips we're giving you today are so
easy you'll barely even
realize you're using them,
because they take no effort whatsoever.
It's important to
say, don't expect sudden
weight loss just because you manage to
reduce estrogen, but if
you are trying to lose weight
or build muscle or just have an overall
healthier lifestyle, these tips will
support you greatly.
Also, we know some people take blood
tests to determine
their levels of estrogen,
and we know our tips will have a great
effect. If you're one of
those people that test it
frequently, we'd really appreciate it if
you drop us a comment
below with your results,
and also for anyone else out there who's
struggling with their estrogen, they
would appreciate it too.
Okay, our three tips are, one, sleep away
from your phone at night, two,
be mindful of how you heat your food, and
three, eat more broccoli.
Let's expand on the
science behind each of these.
The phone hack comes down to production
of melatonin. You see,
your body is amazing at
self-regulating with multiple mechanisms
in place. One powerful
mechanism is melatonin,
which happens to down-regulate estrogen,
or in other words, suppress estrogen.
If you get more melatonin, you reduce
your estrogen levels.
It's as simple as that.
Sleep is a big, complex subject, and
there's a lot of things
you can do to improve it,
as well as melatonin production. One of
the easiest ones is
making sure you're nowhere near
your phone at night. Non-ionizing
radiation, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and
cellular technologies like
3G, 4G, 5G, they may not have significant
thermal effects, which
makes them appear safe,
but they have multiple effects on your
body in terms of calcium
channels in your cells,
as well as mitochondrial health. One of
the very well-documented
effects is on the pineal gland,
which is located in your brain. And the
higher the power and the
longer the exposure, the more
disruption you get to melatonin
production. So basically, if you sleep
with your phone next to
your bed, or your router nearby, or maybe
wireless headphones,
or even smart speakers,
these devices transmit radio waves.
Unlike the radio, say, in
your car, these are extremely
high-powered, and depending on which text
being used, transmit every few seconds,
even though you're not
using them. Take a look at that.
What you want to do is switch your phone
to airplane mode, but
also make sure your bed is
at least three meters away from any
transmitting device, because
the closer you are to them,
the greater the power and the exposure.
If you want to take it even further,
you can get a professional meter for
about 150 quid, and try and
get exposure levels to under
0.01 milliwatts per meter square. By
moving your devices away
from you when you sleep,
your pineal gland can work undisturbed,
creating more melatonin,
which will resolve in lower
estrogen. Our second tip is about
cooking. We want you to stop using
plastic containers for your food
if you use a microwave, for example, but
also to stop using cookware
that tends to leak a lot of
toxins into food, like traditional
non-stick pans. Your best bet is to go
for cast iron, ceramic,
or titanium. They come in various
combinations. Not all of them are
perfect, but they are a million
times better, and they leak less toxins
into your food than
traditional non-stick pans.
Why does this matter? Well, getting clean
food and water is not only
healthy, it also has a direct
impact on your estrogen levels. When your
body encounters toxins,
many of them are called
endocrine disruptors. It rubs them in
fatty tissues. This also
promotes the formation of
estrogen, which is involved in fat gain.
The more toxins you get, the
more your body has reason to
store fat by moving those toxins away
from your bloodstream to
protect you. And ironically, the
more fat cells you have, the more
estrogen your body will produce. Our last
tip is to eat more broccoli.
There are a few leafy greens that fit
this category well, as
well as a supplement called
DIMM, and you can even find this compound
in a highly
bioavailable form in broccoli. This
substance, DIMM, helps in suppressing
aromatase, an enzyme that
would otherwise take all that
precious free testosterone and convert it
into nasty estrogen. We
talk a lot about testosterone
and how it helps upregulate beta
receptors on fat cells,
which helps you in fat loss,
as well as suppressing fat gain by
suppressing lipoprotein lipase and fat
cells differentiation.
Well, basically how testosterone helps
prevent fat gain and helps
fat loss become that little
bit easier. Regardless of how many of our
videos you watched and how
many steps you've taken to
improve your testosterone, you want to
keep as much as you can. You don't want
to turn this helpful
hormone into unhelpful estrogen,
including broccoli. In your
diet a few times a week can
be extremely powerful in helping you to
prevent this from happening.
So there you go. Moving your
router and your phone away from you when
you sleep, cooking in a way
that releases less toxins into
your food and eating more broccoli. None
of these are hard to do. You
can start by doing all of them
right now and it wouldn't even feel like
you've made an effort, but
the effect on your estrogen
levels is well worth making that step. As
always, let us know in the
comments below if you have any
questions and also if you have blood
tests you take for
estrogen. We'd love to know how our
