Xenoestrogens not only lead to low libido, they also make you fat. They lower your sensitivity to thyroid hormone. Once your sensitivity to thyroid hormone is lowered, then your metabolism is lowered and you gain weight.
An easy way to measure this effect is to get a super accurate thermometer ( usually from the doctor’s office ) and measure your temperature. Body temperature measures both the thyroid hormone and receptor sensitivity together. Just doing a thyroid blood test only tells you 1/3 of the story.
My patients usually measure an oral body temperature of 97.x F. The body temperature should be 98.6F.
They usually have normal or low normal thyroid blood tests.
The doctor usually knows something is wrong, but simply shrugs his shoulders.
The body temperature measures both the thyroid receptor and thyroid hormone levels and whether or not the thyroid hormone is poisoned or not.
My temperature was 97.xF for the last 10 years. My doctor tried to give me some Armour thyroid but it did not work. Temperature did not change. The reason why was that I was poisoned with Bromine and Fluoride. When the thyroid hormone is poisoned with Bromine and Fluoride, it appears on the thyroid blood test, but does not work.
So after taking 12.5 mg/day of Iodoral for 2-3 months, my temperature improved to 98.1F. Most Americans reach Iodine sufficiency in 2-3 months taking 50 mg/day of Lugols Iodine or Iodoral.
Oh, my weight, two months ago was 145 pounds and now I am 130 pounds
I have to go to work but wanted to send a quick email to tell you what a difference this has made in my life.
The first month I had to stop taking and eliminate some more products from my life. The second month though has been going great! I only drink water and some juices now and have purchased both olive oil soap from Elysian Dream and the laundry detergent from Nature Clean....love it! I am having somewhat tender breasts now (this week) and think that it may be due to the oncoming menstrual cycle. Anyway....the other differences I have experienced are incredible. My mood is so much better.....so, even keel and feeling great! Also I have lost 15 pounds in two (2) months without even really trying (this was not something intentional). I still eat the same amount...only now I eat better. The extra fat around my waste line is leaving and almost gone. I am 39 years old and have struggled with monthly issues and breast pain for quite some time. This year the breast pain was becoming extremely severe and my doctor didn't really have any answers. Also a couple lumps were found on my mammogram (diagnosed as cysts). I will write more later to you about this but must leave for work now. Oh, my weight, two months ago was 145 pounds and now I am 130 pounds (had to purchase new clothes). I am getting my body back and my skin has cleared up and my hair feels great (It seemed as though my hair kept thinning and now it has stopped in that I don't seem to have as much falling out when I run my fingers through it). Why don't more people know about this! I have begun telling everyone I know, that will listen.......
Thank you for having your website and sharing this news,

Xenoestrogens are chemicals and natural herbs that mimic estrogen. However, xenoestrogens are kind of like estrogen but go into the estrogen receptor and stimulate the estrogen receptor differently. In other words, xenoestrogens are “weird” estrogens. Estradiol usually increases sex drive. But most xenoestrogens makes for low libido. Estrogen say, “Build up fat reserves for the pregnancy.” Estrogen does this by making the thyroid receptors “sleepy”.
As soon as your thyroid receptor becomes “sleepy” your metabolism drops and you lose less weight. You gain weight.
Not only that, but it seems as though these xenoestrogens also make you crave sugar in an effort to make you gain some weight. The more your crave sugar, sweets, and starch, the more you pack on the fat. Not only that but libido goes low.
So what to do?
Get rid of the xenoestrogens in your life. You may take Progesterone topically. But progesterone can only balance out small amounts of xenoestrogens. If you have a large load of xenoestrogens, then you should cut out the xenoestrogens first for a month or two, THEN take the progesterone. Many of the toiletries take 1-3 months to wash out of the body.
Usually, if you eliminate xenoestrogens very diligently, 60% of our patients lose weight without dieting or exercise.
However, your must be very diligent. Something as small as mascara or even lemon grass in a natural deodorant has been known to sabotage the entire patient’s effort. It is strange that something as small as mascara can lower libido.
MONTHLY BLOATING AND MOOD SWINGS and Menstrual Cramping Going Away
I wanted to say 'Thank you'. All of the info I have received both in the booklet with my first order, as well as several emails back and forth with you have been so valuable! I have started using only Bare Essentials/Minerals makeup, and my skin has never looked better.
I also now know what to avoid as far as preservatives/herbs and the difference has been phenomenal! I am no longer having any mid-cycle pain, my cycle has returned to normal, with minimal to no cramping. There is no longer any water weight retention or headaches, and no uterine pain or breast tenderness whatsoever at any point in any recent cycles! I am so happy! My weight has also returned to where I would like it to be without any dieting or diet changes at all. I feel wonderful! Thank you!
And, all this with just the modifications. I have not yet even begun to use the progesterone.
I am wondering about Ylang Ylang. I know lavender and chamomile were mentioned as ones to avoid, and I do. I did some research online regarding Ylang Ylang and noticed it's also listed as having estrogenic activity. I did want to double check this with you, as there is a hair conditioner which contains this, and I will definitely be avoiding this if this is true concerning Ylang Ylang.
Thank you in advance, and again, thank you!

Brownstein, MD reports that over 90% of Americans are deficient in Iodine. Why is iodine important? Iodine is used in the thyroid hormone and in tissues. Not only that, but you need to get iodine ( I2 ), and Iodide ( I- ). Some tissues need iodide and some tissues need iodine. According to Gaia Herbs, they do not like kelp concentrate because they maintain that kelp is now contaminated and it is very difficult to make a kelp concentrate that is clean. There are two easy options to get iodine and iodide. You may get a 2% Lugols solution from your neighborhood drugstore and take it orally or paint it on your skin. The advantage of Lugols is that it is tried and true and has been around for 150 years. However, it may stain your clothes and if taken orally, Logols may give you a stomach upset. Lugols is also cheap.
Iodoral is expensive. It is a pill. It is convenient, does not stain, and will not give you a stomach upset.
The academic way to test if you have sufficient iodine is to take a 50 mg dose of Iodoral and then do a 24 hour urine collection. If you get back 80% of the iodine, then your body is iodine sufficient, and you had enough iodine.
Make sure to take 200-400 mcg/day of Selenium. If your selenium is low, taking iodine may make you sick. Uncommon side effects of iodine include a frontal pressure pain, metallic taste in mouth, and increased salivation. These side effects resolve after 1-3 weeks after stopping the iodine.
Rare iodine side effects include Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
For this reason, I am recommending 3 mg/day of iodine as opposed to 12.5 mg/day -50 mg/day of iodine as Brownstein, MD does. If you do decide to supplement at 10-50 mg/day of iodine make sure to monitor TSH to see that it does not go “sky high”. If TSH does not go high and remains normal, then you are NOT developing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
Natural Progesterone Cream is used to balance out small amounts of xenoestrogens. However, if the xenoestrogen load is high, then progesterone cream can actually make you worse temporarily. In fact, 40% of our patients that do NOT cut out xenoestrogens can actually gain weight. These patients make actually temporarily loose hair. Sex drive can go lower. However, if you diligently cut out xenoestrogens, then take progesterone, weight is lost, hair regrows, and libido is boosted.
Progesterone cream can only balance out small amounts of xenoestrogens. Progesterone actually makes you temporarily worse if you do not cut out xenoestrogens. If you are really good about cutting out xenoestrogens, then after a while you won’t even need progesterone, and your libido will be just normal.
