What is Ovary Body Type? - Dr. Berg

[@CatsAreNiceMeow]

I asked my gynecologist if I could be estrogen dominant. She got mad at me for asking. She said she’s never heard if it then asked me where I learned this. She is no longer my gynecologist.

[@a.sweetpeac.2281]

So you fired her? Good for you! It's almost funny that she got mad at you because she's a gynecologist: she works with women's reproductive health every day. Of course estrogen will be involved! It needs to be in balance with progesterone, or major problems start to develop. Good for you; seek out informed, compassionate doctors!

[@Hitlerbaddaringood]

Yeah but his handwriting is terrible, case closed.

[@livingholistically1485]

I feel you might find a couple in private practice. Most Drs feel they don't work for you because they don't usually get a check directly from you. They get it from social entities like Medicaid or whatever so they wrongly think you're getting things for free. Alot of them seem to forget what they learned in medical school because all they do is prescribe the drugs the pharmaceutical salesmen taught them about during dinner. Sometimes they are saturated with appointments and want to get each appointment as quickly as possible so this also helps them forget anything they might know about nutrition or vitamins and minerals and it's easier to just prescribe pain medication anything that can numb you until next time. If you talk about something you have been learning health wise they think you are teaching them and they may seem lofty at times. On a side note my pediatrician is actually quite good and helpful and where I live I think they are not as saturated with appointments.

Not many doctors go so deep educating other people. Thank you for the amazing food suggestions! I feel sometimes this important information is being hidden for a reason.

[@NanetteCallison]

Not hidden per se but most docs don’t understand the impact of diet on our bodies. Their education is next to nothing on nutrition in their Med degree studies. I do however feel Dr Berg has left so much out in this discussion. I have been taking bio identical hormones for years. We need it for breast cancer provention, heart protection and so much more. Think about it, rates of heart disease and cancer in women skyrocket after menopause when our estrogen plummets. Bio identical hormone replacement hasn’t received the study it should as with so many women’s health issues. However the studies that have been peer reviewed and published show that balancing hormones before and after menopause can have tremendous positive effect.

[@ps343family]

This is 100% me. I started my period at age 9, developed PCOS in my 20’s and never had a regular period. 100% sure that birth control sent me into a horrible tail spin that caused an-ovulation and a host of other issues I am still struggling with. When I started eating vegetables (because I wasn’t eating any before,) I started ovulating and dropping weight. Whenever I am eating 50% or more veggies I am healthy and trim. When I stop I put weight on exactly where you indicated. It is very challenging for me to stay where I should be with my eating and my weight.

Wish I knew this years ago. I was on low fat diets in the 80's, high protein in the 90's. I wasn't even overweight then but I hated having big boobs and hips. Now those things don't work for me. Dr Berg makes so much sense.

Wow! I thought I was doing a good thing back when I switched to soy milk. I was lactose intolerant for a while, so I went to soy milk. And back then I was a size 12. It didn't take much for me to lose weight. So to soy I went and guess what? I started gaining weight and my menopause started and I could not lose weight. Started walking 2 miles a day and gained weight! Crazy! So now at the end of menopause and still trying to get this weight off me now a 14/16. So ladies please heed Dr. Bergs warning about soy. Work out now, so that you can maintain your size.

This is all of us curvy girls in Kenya 😩. Thanks doctor Berg am going the cruciferous way. bless you doc .

[@Zettey]

exactly, I think most black women have this body type. But at the same time, people in africa barely eat any dairy or soy, right? as far as I know mostly grains, veggies and some meat. or get BC. doesnt make sense to me then

[@Zettey]

me neither!

[@abawitx]

We africans and decendants are more estrogen dominant, that is why we are curvier. But also tend to have the ability to build muscle just as easily as fat as we tend to eat more meat and exercise differently and genetically are more muscular and fatty body types. So proper nutrition is key for weight management

Before I had an endometrial ablation for heavy periods, I asked my gyn about estrogen dominance, and she looked at me oddly and "informed" me that ALL women have estrogen... 🙄 I had heavy periods, leiomyomas, endometriosis (but no PCOS, thank god!). I put on 90 lbs in 9 months after a divorce and menopause, and I freaked out. Finally, I found extended fasting (72 hours or more), and cut sugar from my diet, and it's finally working.

[@girlygirl402]

I believe I am definitely estrogen dominant I started to grow protruding hips at nine and I started my period at 10. I have always struggled with migraines literally since I was a child and it’s difficult for me to take birth control because of my migraines and I was 30 years old when a Dr actually told me all those symptoms are because I had to much estrogen... it’s also a fact like Dr. Berg said people with high estrogen that have early periods in their life have difficulty conceiving or may not conceive as easy as some people I definitely fall in that category.

"...they want to have organic dairy, hormone-free." See, dairy contains 50+ hormones that are there whether it's organic or non-organic. And there is so much estrogen in dairy because the cow is lactating. So um, stay away from dairy.

[@bluebobbyjack]

Upscent where can I find this information?

[@Upscent]

I don't remember where I read that first but honestly, this info isn't hard to find at all since it's not an unpopular thing anymore. Just type "dairy contains more than 50 hormones" and the first result is a Harvard article. if you type "bovine growth hormone", there are articles by the American Cancer Society and other sources.

It's not the estrogen that makes a cow/woman lactate. Prolactin does

Weird cuz this “ovary “ body type looks like the ideal body type .. weight gain in hips and thighs is really what is the most protective against metabolic disorders and heart disease. Also hot flashes and night sweats are normal /typical side effects during menopause , as your body adjusts to the normal reduction in estrogen ..

I think what he was saying is if it gets overly large in those proportions, then it is likely a warning sign of this.

Hot flashes and night sweats may be normal side effects of menopause but "normal" does not say healthy. I believe it is healthy to go through menopause (a natural life transition) without side effects.

Dear Dr Berg, I am on Keto for already 6 months now, but found a book released in 1999 (I know we know more now) that you probably know : The Body Code by Jay Cooper saying that Ovary (Nurturer) and Adrenal (Warior) are better off sticking mostly to vegetables to the contrary of other types. I would like to have your thought about it.

[@healthgoddess4882]

One of Dr. Berg's best videos hands down. My whole life I've been plagued by estrogen dominance. I know the root causes: childhood vaccines, a poor diet growing up, not being raised to be physically active, and whatever chemicals my mom put into her body that she passed on to me. I always imagine the better version of myself - how much stronger both mentally and physically I could have been had this not happened. The one good thing I can say is I am very well proportioned and have a feminine face. However, I have to work ten times harder than everyone else to stay lean. Now post mold exposure and post back injury, my entire day revolves around my health routine, and it's incredibly draining. I'm honestly terrified of menopause despite my strict lifestyle. Also, fun fact: don't rescue an unneutered male cat if you are estrogen dominant. I did my research after wondering why I was so sick and swollen, and sure enough he doubled my estrodiol levels. Wasn't going to keep him anyway, but I will never have one again.
