In the SHIFT protocol, ‘H’ is for hormones and in this bitesize episode Angela looks at the sex hormones beginning with oestrogen
If there is an oestrogen dominance you need to understand why before you make changes and when you are looking at hormonal support and lifestyle you need to work with a practitioner and test first to have the information needed to effectively balance and optimise
Angela explains the ways in which oestrogen impacts the body and why to have a successful transition into menopause good adrenal function is key along with advice about what you can do to effectively boost your oestrogen levels  
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Oestrogen is made in the ovaries and synthesized from the hormone DHEA
After menopause, the ovaries stop producing oestrogen and the production is taken over by the adrenal glands 
Insulin sensitivity and blood glucose management make a huge difference
Oestradiol  is the major oestrogen produced by the ovaries in your cycling years, Post menopause it’s  derived from testosterone via aromatization
The Dutch test means you can see what pathway your oestrogen is going down
Including flax seeds in your diet will naturally boost oestrogen levels and seed cycling can help promote the production of oestrogen and progesterone
If you are perimenopausal you can follow the moon cycle

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Oestradiol is the strongest and most active form of oestrogen in the body and can be converted into both E1 and E3’
‘A combination of hormone therapy alongside lifestyle changes can really help’
‘There are a lot of oestrogen disruptors in the environment’
