I bought Dim and lowered my estrogen. It was inflammatory to my prostate.

[@DStrayCat69]

Awesome talk :-) I'm male so it doesn't affect me as much as women... However, I eat Miso Soup on a regular basis (without Tofu (I do not consume Soy products, which are not Fermented - Miso Paste is fermented))... Properly made "Dashi" is critical. One soaks Kombu Sea Kelp and creates a Fish sock using Bonito Fish flakes, then adds the Kelp stock, then Miso Paste... Done deal. Yummy! Oh! I also sprinkle some chopped green onions over it for additional flavor. This soup is full of Natural Iodine and was consumed in large amounts, by the Japanese, following "Hiroshima", to repair the body and remove radiation poisoning... Not being required for that purpose, currently, there is generally too much iodine and has to be consumed in moderation... Funny little thing... In my case, I sometimes crave Miso Soup... There must be something in it that my body needs... Hmmm...

[@tonicaldwell1111]

I am currently on a medication to lower my estrogen. I have breast cancer and they said it’s the estrogen loving type of cancer. I was told it will stop the cancer from spreading. Next steps to come. 🙏🏼✝️

Hello, i am eating a lot of almonds. Is that bad for my estrogen level? Because i have heard that almonds have a lot of that bad estrogen? Thank you for answers!

[@MsSlb2012]

Wow! I dealt with DCIS and do NOT want to take hormone blockers, but I've been hearing about the "two types of estrogen", news to me. I wonder how medical oncologists feel about the endeavor to increase the good estrogen and decrease the bad estrogen rather than take hormone blockers--in women who are at low risk for recurrence (I didn't need radiation or chemo after the lumpectomy)

[@denisemaples6519]

I had skyrocketed estrogen levels, and was told I would have to go on hormone therapy, more symptoms that I won’t get into, but they were terrible. I heard this, and I ordered the DIM and sea kelp within month I noticed difference, now I am over two months. I feel normal again. I really encourage you to try this.

It has been determined & proven in studies that cruciferous vegetables cause low thyroid..so,if I want to balance my estrogen hormones, but dont want to lower my thyroid hormone, is it safe to take DIM??

[@leslielucci3182]

Heard that cruciferous vegetables are only bad for thyroid when raw, so cook or steam them.

[@dechengyalmo09]

You could take Methylenblue: reduced high östrogen, elevates the thyroid hormone levels and reduces high prolaktin.

[@cathyxox3999]

What about all this information about estrogen vs. Estradiol being over 50 and having hypothyroid ism

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

Great video...but 16 and 2 Hydroxy are the oestrogen metabolites not the oestrogen. The Oestrogen that is unhealthy is E1 and the 4 hydroxy pathway is the most dangerous (ie. causes DNA damage); and yes the 2:16 ratio is important too. DIM is a fantastic source of improving oestrogen balance and so is Alpha Lipoid Acid which is a brilliant detoxifier too and help avoid any DNA damage. The confusing thing is that oestrogen is also one of the bodies biggest anti inflammatory agents so nobody should seek to reduce it out of existence.....also it is important that oestrogen:progesterone ratios are balanced too, because oestrogen should not be dominant.

[@gigid9606]

did n't know about ALA, thanks good to know.

[@Zoe.TheBody360]

I also wanted to add that the metabolites of oestrogen : 2, 4 and 16 Hydroxy can ONLY be tested through the Urine!

[@CupNoodleKitty]

I start suspecting that I'm estrogen dominant after being on the pill for 13 years. (I'm off it since May). I started the Keto diet and I'm super strict (weighting my food, watching the calories, grass-fed meat, organic veggies, drinking lots of water...) and I lost NOTHING so far. I also noticed that my weight gain is not affecting my overall body, but only my upper arms, legs and hips. It's VERY frustrating. I will get my hormones checked next month..

[@CupNoodleKitty]

I can see that your post is an old one, but it sounds like you’re talking about me lol I went through the same thing, I was told to get on hormone therapy but instead, I saw his video just in time and I ordered the DIM and the sea kelp, and within one month I noticed a huge difference, I’m now at my third month, and I can tell and feel my body is going back to normal, still working on the weight, yes, frustrating, but I was wondering how you’re doing today

[@momom4548]

Hi Dr Berg, I would like to ask you a question. Some people say taking plant based phytoestrogens or beans is good for you in that it blocks the receptors in breast tissue etc from endogenous estrogen, which is the "dangerous" one, hence lowering the risk of cancer? Im so confused with different information. I always learned that high levels of estrogen is bad, accumulated as in obesety, PCOS, etc. But then again more pregnancies at a younger age protect from breast cancer. So do some types of estrogen spikes do something to the receptors?? What is your take on this? Momo

Because Medical Doctors are trained by Universities who have been sponsored by the Pharmaceutical companies who have lobbied their way through the laws of this nation. Traditional Doctors can only prescribe pharmaceutical medications and will be banned from practicing if they do otherwise. They are not taught anything that has to do with natural medicine. You need to find a Holistic Docto for this.

If we all got healthy little by little how would these drug companies make money....🤔 They have to keep ppl sick and uninformed...this is where Dr. Berg, Dr. Mercola and Dr. Northrup..she was the first one I came across years ago, but I was too busy raising my sons, working and eating a bunch of crap.... present day it's me time.
