TESTOSTERONE HORMONAL BALANCE AND MENSTRUAL HEALTH
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND FOOD
BEFORE YOU READ THIS GUIDE People who are born with female anatomy produce small amounts of testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands. When it's combined with estrogen, they both play a role in the growth and maintenance of female reproductive tissue and bone mass. Hyperandrogenism is when the testosterone levels in the body are too high. It can cause hormonal imbalance symptoms such as male pattern hair growth, specifically facial hair, balding, acne, deepening of the voice, irregular menstrual cycle, low libido, infertility and obesity. There are 4 organs in the body that play a role in keeping testosterone levels balanced. Giving all 4 of them the nutrients they need daily and reducing foods that can cause them harm when eaten excessively can help to reverse the symptoms of Hyperandrogenism naturally. PAGE 01
"IF YOU FOCUS ON TAKING CARE OF ALL 4 ORGANS, YOU WILL LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED, WHICH INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF REVERSING THE SYMPTOMS 100%." You should notice a difference in your symptoms within 3-6 months if you are consistently implementing the advice in this guide. You should check in with your physcian to see if it’s safe for you to make the dietary changes and use the supplements that are being recommended. This information is meant to bring awareness to how certain foods and eating habits can cause a hormonal imbalance but is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Do not wait to seek medical counsel, diagnosis or treatment.

REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF STRESS THAT IS ON YOUR ADRENAL GLANDS The adrenal glands can produce too much testosterone when they are being overworked
Eating large amounts of processed foods daily puts unnecessary stress on your adrenal glands. Reducing your processed food intake down to one meal per day will reduce the amount of testosterone your body is producing.

This is my magnesium supplement recommendation If you're a person who is prone to experiencing burnout, also known as Adrenal Fatigue, I recommend you use maca root 3-4 days out of the week. Adrenal fatigue is when your adrenal glands are too exhausted to function properly from being overworked. Maca root is a plant that helps to stabilize the adrenal glands so they can secrete a balanced amount of hormones. PAGE 03
This is my maca root powder recommendation
BALANCE THE HORMONE PRODUCTION IN YOUR PITUITARY GLAND The pituitary gland releases hormones that control the different phases of your menstrual cycle and your ability to ovulate
The pituitary gland secretes two hormones that determine how much estrogen and progesterone the ovaries should secrete. Testosterone needs a balanced amount of estrogen and progesterone to stay balanced. The pituitay gland needs zinc and all 8 of the essential B vitamins to secrete a balanced amount of hormones. The recommended daily intake for zinc for someone with female anatomy is 8 milligrams per day. I recommend you get all of your B vitamins from a B-complex supplement.
This is my zinc supplement recommendation This is my B-Complex supplement recommendation If you've been taking the zinc and B- complex supplements consistently for 3 months but you're still having symptoms such as spotting brownish colored blood at the beginning of your period for 3 or more days, fibrocycstic breast lumps, leaking breast discharge or an irregular cycle, then you may need to try a vitex fruit supplement. Vitex balances the secretion of hormones in the pituitary gland. You need to continue to take the zinc and B vitamins too. Its normal for your periods to be sporadic during the first 3 months of taking the vitex. This is my vitex supplement recommendation PAGE 04
STABILIZE THE AMOUNT OF SBGH YOUR LIVER PRODUCES SBGH is a protein made by the liver that binds hormones like testosterone and carries them throughout your bloodstream. The liver is also responsible for storing sugar for a later time when your body will need it. When you are eating large amounts of foods that are high in sugar, it can overwork your liver and begin to suppress the SBGH levels of a person born with female anatomy. When the liver can not make enough SBGH, there is not anything to bind your testosterone. Since the ovaries continue to secrete testosterone, it causes an excessive amount of "free floating" testosterone to build up in the body. The key to stabilizing your SBGH levels naturally is to stablize your blood sugar levels throughtout the day.

Low sex hormone binding globulin(SBGH) causes high testosterone levels in people born with female anatomy You can stabilize your blood sugar levels by stabilizing your appetite. A poor appetite or insatiable appetite makes it nearly impossible to stabilize your SBGH levels so you can reverse your testosterone imbalance symptoms.

AVOID OVERSTIMULATING YOUR OVARIES Dairy causes enzymes in the ovaries and skin to activate inactive testosterone. Reducing the amount of dairy you consume down to 2-3 meals a month can help to decrease high testosterone levels.
Parathyroid Glands
Consuming less dairy means that you will also be consuming less calcium. The parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood. Your parathyroid glands need 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily to function properly. When you don't get enough calcium daily, it causes an imbalance with your parathyroid hormones.
This is my Calcium+Vitamin D3 supplement recommendation(you need vitamin D to absorb calcium) I highly recommend you incorporate more turmeric, ginger and omega 3 fatty acids(EPA/DHA) into your daily regimen, because they fight against the inflammation that causes adrenal glands to burnout and triggers enzymes to activate inactive testosterone. The body needs at least 500 milligrams of Omega 3(EPA/DHA) daily. Its extremely important that you consume turmeric and ginger within 30 minutes of eating dairy.
This is my turmeric/ginger supplement recommendation This is my Omega 3(EPA/DHA) supplement recommendation PAGE 06
