| alisaholistic | is to have you understand what top 10 foods you can begin eating right away to restore your balance |
| alisaholistic | and finally, i want you to understand the 3 underlying causes of your hormonal issues and how the work that we do here at Laughing Sage Wellness (LSW) can address those underlying causes |
| alisaholistic | okay? |
| debi joined . | |
| alisaholistic | all i have is one request |
| alisaholistic | i need your participation!! |
| bkyhie | you have mine |
| alisaholistic | this is going to be a very interactive call |
| alisaholistic | thank you bkyhie |
| Daisy615 | sounds good! |
| alisaholistic | great! |
| bombcat9 | i'm ready! |
| alisaholistic | we are going to have plenty of opportunity to address your specific questions and thoughts |
| Beth26 | sounds great! |
| alisaholistic | so get ready with those |
| alisaholistic | but first i have a question for all of you |
| alisaholistic | i want to understand what your experiences have been in dealing with hormonal issues and medication |
| khugar left . | |
| alisaholistic | so let's have a few people share what their experience has been and what particular issue they are struggling with |
| alisaholistic | who'd like to go first? |
| liz joined . | |
| bkyhie | I ovulate normally and have no known horomonal imbalance issues with the exception of mild endo. i have been thru 3 IVFs, one resulted in a chemical and one in a pregnancy with miscarriage at 9 weeks. I have been told that my eggs are rotten pretty much at 38 years |
| alisaholistic | thank you for sharing bkyhie |
| bkyhie | I don't buy that, so trying naturally without medication |
| alisaholistic | and i'm SO sorry that you have had to go through all of that emotional stress |
| alisaholistic | how did all of the medication affect your body? |
| bkyhie | bloated, and overall not good |
| debi | I have POF and will have to go the donor route. Now I'm told that my lining is too thin and may have to adopt. I'm trying one last time with med's and acupuncture to increase blood flow to my uterius. What else can I do? I do not get a period w/o being chemically induced. I an 39. |
| sunnynanc | What are the 10 top foods you recommend eating |
| alisaholistic | okay great ladies |
| Beth26 | Diagnosed w/ PCOS ~6 years ago and my RE has me on 2500mgs of Metformin ER. Most of the time I only take 2000mgs b/c I hate taking that much! I am currently waiting to do a 2nd round of IVF. |
| alisaholistic | let me set up a little protocal |
| alisaholistic | i'm going to answer all of your questions at the same time |
| alisaholistic | and sunnynanc, i'll get to that list in a little bit |
| alisaholistic | so hang in there |
| alisaholistic | first of all, thank you to bkyhie, debi and beth26 for sharing |
| alisaholistic | and for those of you who haven't written, it's okay |
| Alia25 joined . | |
| alisaholistic | your story is similar in the high level details |
| alisaholistic | meaning, that what these women have gone through, you have in some way gone through |
| alisaholistic | and so the explanation will be helpful and applicable to you all |
| alisaholistic | so here's my tid bit on the first goal of the evening |
| smiley joined . | |
| alisaholistic | when your body is in a state of deficiency, which we can assume that it is, given that you have difficulty with conception and some pre-existing hormonal imbalance like PCOS, endo, fibroids, severe pms, etc |
| guest99 | I dont have PCOS I just have the problem of Advanced maternal age>>>i am under the care of a DOM and on a high protein with veggies and no sugar, caffeein, ice or cold drinks.....what do you suggest for someone like me? |
| YOLA joined . | |
| Daisy615 | I was diagnosed with severe endo after a laporotomy to remove a large endometrial cyst a year ago and then completed 6 months of Lupron and we are trying again naturally. |
| alisaholistic | and by state of deficiency i mean that your body has one important goal in life |
| alisaholistic | to keep you alive and healthy |
| Alia25 | Good night everyone. How DO you have a health, natural, effortless menstrual period and Drug-Free Fertility |
| alisaholistic | reproductive capacity and libido, ladies, are the first things to go when you are not living and eating optimally for your body |
| alisaholistic | so i want you to have a paradigm shift here |
| alisaholistic | i want you to look at restoring your base line overall health as THE means to bringing back your libido and reproductive capacity |
| bkyhie left . | |
| alisaholistic | my second important point here |
| alisaholistic | is the following |
| alisaholistic | when you take medications, you compromise your liver's ability to do it's very important job |
| alisaholistic | left uninterrupted, your liver would spend from 3pm to 3am, cleaning out 20% of your total blood volume at a time |
| alisaholistic | "tagging" with biomarkers, your SEX and STRESS hormones for elimination |
| alisaholistic | sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, etc |
| alisaholistic | stress hormones: adrenaline and cortisol |
| alisaholistic | now these hormones in and of themselves are toxic to the body in high volumes, so the liver sets aside 12 HOURS to make sure you start off each day with a clean slate so to speak |
| liz | Wow |
| alisaholistic | however, when we consider what happens when we expose the body to medications |
| alisaholistic | we then run into some challenges |
| alisaholistic | for those of you who are sensitive hormonally |
| alisaholistic | yes, Liz, WOW is right, the liver is pretty amazing |
| guest99 | what does sensitive hormorally mean? |
| alisaholistic | it's a good thing to be in awe of your body;) |
| alisaholistic | meaning that you already have a history of some hormonal imbalance |
| alisaholistic | like the ones i mentioned above |
| alisaholistic | so, let me give some examples |
| debi | I don't follow. Does that mean my body stopped making estrogen because of what I did or didn't eat? |
| liz | Yeap I do I have PCOS with severe IR |
| alisaholistic | so you really see the picture here |
| alisaholistic | debi, great question, no, not at all |
| deedee joined . | |
| alisaholistic | what i am talking about is how medication can interrupt your hormonal balance |
| alisaholistic | so as i was mentioning |
| alisaholistic | a basic example is this |
| debi | so being on the pill for an extended amt of time can make this happen? |
| plumleedw | What kinds of meds are you referring to? |
| Alia25 | ok, so what do you suggest we do about that? How do we not take meds to help our situation? How do we do it where INSURANCE pays for it??? |
| smiley | certain medications or any medication? |
| alisaholistic | let's say, you live in an urban environment, you take advil for cramps, you take the flu shot, you take antibiotics, you take allergy medication, you drink coffee |
| liz | Yeah really alia |
| guest99 | are u referring to Follistism? |
| alisaholistic | i'm getting there ladies |
| guest99 | sorry |
| alisaholistic | and believe me, I appreciate your situation |
| liz | sorry |
| alisaholistic | no apologies necessary! |
| ilenec joined . | |
| Alia25 | I think a whole lotta people would preffer the wholistic approach to taking care of our bodies, but it is simply not accessible |
| alisaholistic | i have dedicated my work to this group of women exactly because you are all left feeling soo frustrated |
| liz | yeap |
| alisaholistic | as i was years ago when i had PCOS |
| alisaholistic | which i healed using my methods |
| alisaholistic | anyway, back to the story |
| alisaholistic | as we only have a limited time! |
| alisaholistic | and i want to get to everything i possibly can for you |
| mangoeater joined . | |
| Alia25 | ok |
| alisaholistic | and YES alia25, this NEEDS to be accessible to more women |
| alisaholistic | that's what i'm trying to do at LSW |
| alisaholistic | so thanks for the vote;) |
| alisaholistic | okay, so you take all these meds |
| alisaholistic | you take claritin D |
| alisaholistic | you take things, AND you live in a polluted environment, AND you take in |
| alisaholistic | hormones and pesticides from commercially (non-organic) grown foods and animal products |
| alisaholistic | AND you drink coffee, alcohol, etc |
| alisaholistic | which i'm sure many of you do not do, given that you are trying to conceive |
| alisaholistic | however, these things alone, not including the medications you may have been put on to treat your actual condition - from lupron, to metformin, to clomid |
| alisaholistic | are considered to be so toxic in such smaller quantity to your body, than the hormones that you naturally produce |
| alisaholistic | that guess what |
| alisaholistic | your liver has to make a choice |
| alisaholistic | it only has 12 HOURS to detox your blood system |
| alisaholistic | and so, given the LOAD of chemicals present, the liver UN-tags your hormones |
| alisaholistic | allowing them to recirculate back into your body |
| alisaholistic | doubling or trebling the amount normally intended to be there |
| alisaholistic | and focuses on trying to detox you from the chemicals, medications, pesticides, etc |
| alisaholistic | everyone with me so far?? |
| liz | Yeap |
| guest99 | yes |
| bombcat9 | yup |
| Daisy615 | yup |
| Alia25 | yeah |
| alisaholistic | GREAT |
| chrisrn05 | yes |
| deedee | yes |
| karynmacvean | yes and now it makes sense... |
| alisaholistic | this is why i love working with women |
| ahchealth7800 | yes |
| liz | Yeap it does to me to |
| alisaholistic | you are SOOOO smart! |
| alisaholistic | super, okay |
| liz | LMAO |
| jsaracen joined . | |
| alisaholistic | so let me give you a bit more |
| liz | dont tell our husbands that |
| liz | lol |
| alisaholistic | biology 101 here |
| alisaholistic | TELL THEM!!!! |
| Alia25 | We sure are |
| liz | lol |
| Alia25 | ::biggrin |
| alisaholistic | anyhoo, so how many of you think you get enough fiber every day?? |
| guest99 | definietly |
| debi | i think so |
| bombcat9 | probably not me |
| Alia25 | I do not at all |
| deedee | not sure? |
| Daisy615 | i doubt i do |
| alisaholistic | i would say, that most of you are accurately reflecting what is a HUGE problem for you hormonally |
| karynmacvean | not sure... |
| Alia25 | ..not nearly enough... |
| liz | I take fiber pills |
| liz | does that help? |
| alisaholistic | nope |
| smiley | over the limits! |
| guest99 | its gross, but u can tell your excrement, right? |
| alisaholistic | looking at your bowel movements daily is an EXCELLENT way to self diagnose your level of wellness |
| alisaholistic | but that is a different call;) |
| alisaholistic | okay, so here's what happens |
| deedee | what should it look like? |
| guest99 | todl u it was gross! LOL |
| alisaholistic | remember back before all the medications and pesticides |
| alisaholistic | in the liver's very own garden of eden?? |
| alisaholistic | what happens ideally, is that whatever sex and stress hormones your body has produced |
| liz | honestly no, I have always had health problems |
| alisaholistic | and your liver has tagged for elimination |
| alisaholistic | will pass into the large intestine from the liver |
| alisaholistic | and seek to bind with MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF INSOLUBLE FIBER |
| alisaholistic | in order for you to physically excrete these hormones |
| alisaholistic | you actually have to work a bit to help your liver complete its detox process, if you will |
| alisaholistic | now, i put that in bold |
| guest99 | deedeeto answer ur question ..hope no one minds....a long S |
| alisaholistic | b/c i KNOW that you are not getting enough fiber |
| sherilm joined . | |
| alisaholistic | and it's really important to begin to do that |
| alisaholistic | so that you can combat the already compromised function of the liver given what external toxins it is being exposed to |
| alisaholistic | and my top 10 foods list will get you started with that |
| alisaholistic | but i want you to know the WHY behind the WHAT |
| alisaholistic | okay?? |
| guest99 | YES |
| karynmacvean | k |
| Alia25 | ok |
| alisaholistic | great |
| deedee | Thanks GUEST 99, for the details |
| bombcat9 | k |
| alisaholistic | so here's the other thing about medications |
| guest99 | sure |
| jsaracen | What about acupuncture? |
| alisaholistic | accupuncture is great |
| alisaholistic | if it works for you |
| alisaholistic | but i still maintain that the MOST POWERFUL DRUG to alter your genetics |
| alisaholistic | is FOOD |
| alisaholistic | and food alone |
| debi | anyhting is great if it works - what do u suggest |
| alisaholistic | so here's the other thing that happens when we take medications as women that are directed at manipulating our hormones |
| sherilm left . | |
| alisaholistic | we've talked about how it impacts your self cleansing process |
| alisaholistic | but i also want you to know that it interferes with your pituitary function |
| jsaracen | Do you believe in limiting dairy products? |
| alisaholistic | and this is significant not only because your pituitary is your master gland when it comes to ovulation |
| plumleedw | I've read a lot lately about soy adversely affecting fertility. What are your thoughts about that? Is it any soy, or just certain types. It seems like everything I pick up has soy lecithin in it. |
| alisaholistic | but also because your pituitary glad is the seat of your intuition |
| alisaholistic | let me get to specific food questions in a minute |
| jsaracen left . | |
| alisaholistic | and your tuning in to your intuitive sense can really hasten the healing process as this will allow you to listen to what your body needs specifically |
| alisaholistic | SO |
| alisaholistic | what foods do i recommend for you |
| alisaholistic | to get started with |
| alisaholistic | here's the list, please take some notes for yourself |
| bombcat9 | alright |
| alisaholistic | first, start with some teas |
| kconnaghan joined . | |
| alisaholistic | red clover, raspberry leaf, nettle, chamomile and lavender |
| ilenec | Are there any specific superfoods that can raise FSH levels? |
| alisaholistic | these are plants that can help your liver and gallbladder function more efficiently |
| mangoeater | or LOWER FSH levels? |
| guest99 | RAISE FSH? |
| alisaholistic | great question ilenec |
| ilenec | Oh-sorry no sleep last night....lower FSH!!!! Thanks!!! |
| guest99 | oooooooooooooooooo |
| Karyen joined . | |
| alisaholistic | what's important to remember is that you must break out of the western medical mindset |
| alisaholistic | which is what your question is modeled on |
| alisaholistic | what do i take to do X |
| alisaholistic | what you need to start looking at is, how can i address the underlying causes of my hormonal issues and eat for that |
| alisaholistic | so each of you has issues with blood sugar |
| alisaholistic | and liver function |
| debi | pls continue with the list |
| alisaholistic | which is why i wanted to explain it a bit |
| deedee | yes more from the good list ... |
| alisaholistic | okay, back to the list |
| guest99 | i dont with blood surgar? |
| ilenec | sounds great! she's doing an excellent job!! |
| guest99 | everyone does? |
| karynmacvean | I'm allergic to sugar |
| karynmacvean | and diary |
| alisaholistic | the second food that i'd recommend you incorporate immediately is a good EFA oil - like flax oil or something like UDO's choice |
| karynmacvean | right - that'st dairy |
| alisaholistic | flax oil is NOT dairy |
| smiley | are ground up flax seeds just as good as the oil? |
| deedee | How about flax seed capsules? |
| karynmacvean | sorry spelling correction and bad timing |
| alisaholistic | okay, this is important because it gives your body the ability to mitigate the effects of stress on your hormonal balance, as well as provide you with anti-inflammatory building blocks |
| guest99 | how about Evening Primrose Oil capsultes |
| ilenec | I read literature saying that the conversation of EFA is not as good in flax as in fish |
| alisaholistic | ground up flax seeds are great for the FIBER content |
| alisaholistic | but i would do the oil for the Omega-3's and 6's |
| guest99 | what about the mercury in the FISH???? |
| alisaholistic | Eve Prim Oil is also good |
| smiley | thanks |
| alisaholistic | exactly, i do not advocate fish oil anymore due to the high levels of oceanic pollution |
| guest99 | so dont eat fish? |
| ilenec | Do you take evening Primrose as a tea? |
| alisaholistic | i really like Udo's choice, as they blend many oils, improving your chances of bioavailability |
| guest99 | i take in capsule form if ur asking me |
| alisaholistic | guest99, you can eat certain fish |
| alisaholistic | i would take this drizzled on cool or cold foods |
| guest99 | salamon |
| ilenec | What about buying Organic fish...they cell organic salmon...and also I'm aware that sardines are high in Omega 3 and low in mercury |
| guest99 | sp...sory |
| bombcat9 | I have never heard of UDO's choice. Where do you get that? Like a GNC store? |
| alisaholistic | me personall, i put a few TB's in my tub of hummous and snack on that |
| guest99 | what is UDO? |
| alisaholistic | b/c it's already in there |
| alisaholistic | UDO is a brand name |
| alisaholistic | you would not find it at GNC most likely |
| guest99 | TB's? |
| alisaholistic | okay, next item |
| smiley | Barlean's is good too |
| alisaholistic | WATER, WATER, WATER!!!!! |
| guest99 | do u advocate chinese herbs? |
| alisaholistic | i cannot emphasize enough ladies, how much consistent long term dehydration |
| ilenec | Thanks for the above question |
| alisaholistic | messes with your hormonal issues |
| karynmacvean | really? |
| guest99 | 8 glasses a day? |
| ilenec | Wow!! |
| alisaholistic | no, more |
| alisaholistic | much more |
| alisaholistic | here's a basic water schedule |
| alisaholistic | i'd recommend you try following |
| ilenec | You can improve your fertility status by staying well hydrated?? |
| alisaholistic | 8oz of H2O, upon waking |
| liz | is it true if you drink to much water you will depleate your body of vitamins it needs? |
| alisaholistic | 16 oz by noon |
| alisaholistic | (NO) |
| alisaholistic | 16 oz by 3pm |
| Beth26 | I was at a seminar and the speaker said half of your weight in oz. per day or more |
| alisaholistic | 16 oz by 6pm |
| alisaholistic | 16 oz by 9pm |
| alisaholistic | see if you can keep that up for a few weeks |
| alisaholistic | and tell me how you are doing |
| alisaholistic | think of it as an experiment |
| alisaholistic | and don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself |
| bombcat9 | k, definitely will try |
| alisaholistic | ok, next item |
| ilenec | Thanks! |
| alisaholistic | yellow root veggies |
| alisaholistic | sweet potatoes, squashes, carrots, onions, leeks, |
| alisaholistic | turnips, parsnips, etc |
| alisaholistic | these foods HEAL pancreatic function naturally |
| alisaholistic | and help maintain proper blood glucose levels throughout the day |
| Alia25 | ok |
| guest99 | ok |
| jjin joined . | |
| ilenec | they are high in soluble fiber |
| alisaholistic | and they are GREAT comfort foods especially during the luteal phase when we tend to crave more carbohydrate based foods |
| alisaholistic | they are relatively high in fiber ilenec |
| liz | ok |
| alisaholistic | but not as great as the next item |
| ilenec | Have you heard of a berry called Acai?? It is supposed to have Omega 3 fats and super high in antioxidants... |
| karynmacvean | would it be helpful to someone who has progesterone issues? |
| alisaholistic | which is DARK LEAFY GREEN VEGGIES |
| Beth26 | Is it bad to eat only one of those foods? |
| Beth26 | Out of all of those I only like carrots |
| alisaholistic | now, i am sad to report that salad DOES NOT COUNT |
| bombcat9 | interesting, keep going |
| alisaholistic | (it's okay if you only like carrots) |
| Beth26 | THANKS! |
| ilenec | I make my salads with kale, collard greens and avocado |
| alisaholistic | you must explore the world of kale, collards, mustard greens, chards, mizuna, arugula |
| alisaholistic | cabbage |
| ilenec | Yes! |
| alisaholistic | great ilenec, that is not the typical salad we see |
| alisaholistic | as we all know from the salad bar;) |
| ilenec | So healthy -want to make sure I get the folic acid and nutrients, etc |
| alisaholistic | so, please explore these veggies not only for their crucial vitamins and minerals |
| alisaholistic | but specifically b/c they help in that second phase of liver detoxing |
| alisaholistic | and they are a GREAT source of insoluble fiber |
| alisaholistic | okay, next item, |
| debi | what's next on the list |
| alisaholistic | WHOLE GRAINS |
| alisaholistic | brown rice, millet, quinoa, buckwheat, barley |
| alisaholistic | etc |
| alisaholistic | this foods have b vitamins needed as the building blocks for serotonin production |
| alisaholistic | and also they have tons of insoluble fiber |
| alisaholistic | the next item on the list is CHOCOLATE |
| liz | yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
| bombcat9 | yay! |
| liz | lol |
| Alia25 | WHAT!!!!!!! |
| Beth26 | YEAH!!!!! |
| Daisy615 | SWEET |
| ilenec | really???? |
| alisaholistic | chocolate has an amazing antioxidant load |
| Alia25 | don't play with me |

I want to take a minute to thank Alisa for her time and expertise and to remind everyone that we start and end the sessions on time. We have only a few minutes left. |
| guest99 | what about the sugar problem |
| alisaholistic | provides you with trace minerals like magnesium |
| alisaholistic | great quesiton |
| ilenec | would you recommend organic chocolate though? |
| alisaholistic | DO NOT EAT HERSHEY"s etc |
| alisaholistic | full of sugar |
| alisaholistic | also, NO milk chocolate |
| alisaholistic | organic dark chocolate |
| alisaholistic | is GOOD FOR YOU |
