[@pb9159]

Hi !! I will try Brazil nuts, cheese and flaxseeds. But not sure if I suppose to take them the whole month or when from day 1. Always confused about days to start and stop. Thank you for the video

[@marcelina12able]

Hi Melanie, definitely I’m to to start with Brazil nuts and also flax seeds and cheese 👍 I just heard it’s good as well to drink ginko beloba tea or tea from red clever? What do you think about? Thanks for responding

[@dianegurley4732]

[@celinlee440]

I’m on cheese and yogurt. It helps my hot flushes!

Thank you Was great video ever God Bless you

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@Theaterofthepilgrammige]

Your recommendations are brilliant! I’ve been researching progesterone for quite some time, I’ve only ever heard to increase magnesium and Vit B6, Vit C, and use chaste berry. I’m eager to implement these foods (no kakado plums in Canada where it’s currently-35 C!). Thank you so much!

[@NourishwithMelanie]

My pleasure Chandra! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. Take care.

Flaxseed is just sitting in my pantry. I got it for my smoothies and I still haven't used it yet

[@beethethi7766]

Lol, same here! Except, I don’t know exactly why I got it 😂

[@Okay_Seante]

Same

How Does progesterone effect post-menopause women? Could low levels cause headaches? I’m going to try adding a tbls flaxseed to my cup of yogurt & up my intake of cheese. Thank you, Melonie!

[@strawberryme08]

Yes low estrogen and progesterone can cause headaches

[@user-uh9um8fp7f]

Tjeez wish I know b4 got horrible headaches pituitary problem and menopause pause at once age 41

I’m here because of low progesterone induced insomnia. I don’t want to be on progesterone pills. They have side effects. All I want to do is sleep well.

[@roovinavolety8528]

Ashwagandha herb may help please research

[@mmonanga8518]

​@@roovinavolety8528 Just tried it. It works well. I am sleeping like a baby

[@liztowers2058]

Hour before bed .... magnesium and an Ashwaghanda....goooood niiiiiiight!!! 😂

[@bliep85]

@@liztowers2058 Which brand for ashwaganda and magnesium do you recommend? 🙏🏻

[@juniorwife2]

Hi, have you found any success re: insomnia? I've been having the same trouble for the past 6 yrs almost. All I want is to be able to sleep. My Dr has recommended the Mirena IUD but I'm a bit hesitant to get it.

[@mallissajackson6233]

[@stephanielu7694]

Well since we don't have that kind of plums where I live and I'm allergic to flaxseed and dairy, I guess I will try the brazil nuts 😕

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Good idea!

Does it still increase progesterone after menopause?

Interesting on cheese because of the hormones in cows

[@robertaeileensmith1301]

Aging presents symptoms of hypothyroidism. My brain is scrambling to reduce estrogen levels ( or not)? At present I am experimenting with different foods to avoid foggy brain, weakness and dry eyes (drops help the eyes). Possible gall stone formation has decreased in pain level since cutting back on calcium and citrus (as in Citrical), salt but with necessary iodine, and fats. Presently I have been consuming foods low in estrogen after test indicating borderline hypothyroidism. I like to control the condition with foods rather than medication. I hope to soon consult with hospital dietitian. I don't mind gently leaving my body behind, but while I'm here I would like to do the best I can.

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Thank you for sharing Roberta! It sounds like you're on the right path. I hope your consultation with the dietitian is able to help :)

[@beethethi7766]

I hope & pray to also leave gently one day. The better we nourish our bodies, the easier will our spirit depart when our allotted time is up. Perhaps, we also need to be at peace with God & our loved ones. I’ll take an “Irish exit” (please God) over long drawn out goodbyes. 🙏❤️✊🍀🇦🇱

[@Megan-gl4zz]

Try adding a high quality, liquid version of Cod Liver Oil to your diet as well. The Vitamin A helps with the dry eyes in addition to all the other wonderful things Cod Liver Oil does for our bodies.

[@margaretr5701]

@@Megan-gl4zz I've found taking fish oil every day helps, so no doubt cod liver oil will be beneficial.

Mam, Any Specific Kind of Cheese ? Thank you In advance!

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Any full fat cheese you prefer! In Australia, a serve is approximately 40g. Hope that helps :)

[@fatmirehalilaj1880]

[@clarissabelombre5259]

I’m going to try cheese!

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Great! Hope you enjoyed the video.

[@goanna83]

Can you please specify which safe cheeses to take? I know that soft cheeses like blue or brie are a no no but theres like so many cheeses that sometimes i cant distinguish which are soft or not. Like is feta one of them?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Hi there, while pregnant hard cheeses are safe so cheddar, tasty etc. To minimise risk, soft or semi soft cheeses (including feta, ricotta, brie, blue) unless they are thoroughly cooked thru (and heated above 75 degrees celsius) should be avoided. x

What about raw goats cheese?

[@lifexp23]

Where do you buy that plumb?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Sorry, I am unsure what you mean by 'plumb'?

[@MegBeth26]

I think Kakadu plums are what they mean.

Cheese? You lost me here.

[@sharonallison8991]

Why can't you eat Brazil nuts with the selenium supplement?

[@Willowaterss]

Too much selenium

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Yes Michelle is correct - it may mean you are getting too much selenium with both selenium supplements and brazil nuts

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Brazil nuts & selenium supplements

[@user-uh9um8fp7f]

Because BRAZIL nu IS a Selenium supplement! Only 2 a day will give you plenty.

[@Serenity.Stephi]

I’m here because I can’t stop menstrual bleeding for months

[@NourishwithMelanie]

I'm sorry to hear that! I recommend booking in a consultation with your Doctor to discuss! Unfortunately I cannot provide tailored medical information over the internet. x

[@neelz4092]

from what I have researched if you have low progesterone you might be too high in estrogen. and Flax seeds increase estrogen further apparently so isnt it better to avoid this if you have estrogen dominance?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

To consider your personal factors, such as your hormone levels, I suggest getting personalised advice from your prenatal dietitian.

[@user-uh9um8fp7f]

No flax seeds decrease estrogen

[@ccelms6581]

I’m going to try ALL of them!😂 I actually eat most of them, although I haven’t had Brazil nuts for a while. Those plums, however, I’ve NEVER tried! I’ve got to get som, thank you!😲

[@babes5663]

Too much vit c not good on progesterone production...just read and heard this countless times and also cheese?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Vitamin C and cheese has been demonstrated to increase progesterone production, which in turn can beneficially impact fertility.x

[@sharonallison8991]

I thought yams or sweet potatoes were good?

[@NourishwithMelanie]

I don't think I talk about yams or sweet potatoes in this video. Is your question referring to a different video perhaps?

There us a progesterone cream made from yam called serenity
