Around age 40 the hormones begin to fluctuate. As men approach their 40s, their testosterone levels low and often turn into estrogen, a process known as aromatization. Estrogen dominance in women tends to appear in their 30s and 40s and progesterone levels fluctuate before menopause. The symptoms of estrogen dominance may appear as increased breast tissue (gynectomastia) in men. Women may experience swelling and pain, abdominal cramps, back pain, swelling, headache / migraine, irritability, anxiety, depression, food cravings, lightheadedness, difficulty sleeping, and / or lowered sex drive. Women may complain that their legs are fat or thick. In observation of these men and women, I realized that I tend to spend a lot of his time jogging or cardio equipment, and never or hardly any time, strength training. Apart from the activity of choice for these men and women choose their estrogen dominance can be attributed to genetics, environment and lifestyle. The catabolic hormone estrogen is causing an increase in body fat and increased aromatase, while testosterone is an anabolic hormone that promotes muscle growth. Flavoring happens when androgens (testosterone) are converted to estrogens (estrodial). High estrogen and low testosterone may indicate aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme in estrogenproducing cells in the adrenal glands, ovaries, placenta, testis, fat or adipose tissue and brain. The symptoms of declining testosterone include fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, decreased libido, poor concentration, reduced muscle and increased fat. In men, breasts may enlarge as the extra estrogen begins to promote the features of the female body. Estrogen dominance can be revealed through measurements of skin folds of the shoe and hormonal laboratory tests of blood or saliva. The results reveal high estrogen and low testosterone apply to women and men alike. Recommended laboratory tests: male hormone profile: Pregnenolone, Total of estrogen, DHEAS, progesterone, testosterone (total), male hormone profile: Pregnenolone, Total of estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, bioavailable testosterone (total) , Testosterone (free), both men and women should be tested Panel Thyroid: T3, T4 and TSH Men: PSA (test at age 50 white, 40 years of age for African American) for measurements of the creases in men: If your site is larger than the chest triceps this site indicates aromatase. Also, if the skin of the quadriceps times is relatively high in a male of a PSA (prostate specific antigen) is in order. The skin fold sites of estrogen in women are the quadriceps and hamstrings. Enzyme activity and poor liver detoxification of estrogens are other factors to consider. Alcohol may be the culprit here, as well as marijuana. Excess estrogen in your body not only lead to the flavoring, but estrogen dominant issues of health such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids, and breast and prostate cancer. Read more about the hormones in my book, The Power of 4 ~ Your ultimate guide guaranteed to change your body and transform your life. Factors that raise levels of estrogen are age increases the activity of aromatase carbohydrate intolerance and insulin resistance This affects the adrenal glands and all other hormone levels important. (The hormone that have more control over this insulin is controlled through your diet. Hormones do not act independently.) Some herbal ingredients like lavender and tea tree oil consumption of a soy diet and of nonorganic loaded xenoestrogens, pesticides, etc. heavy metal toxicity (arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead, cobalt, aluminum and mercury). Changes in liver function, elevated AST and ALT values higher estrogen Obesity is present in most obese people of all ages. Obesity in men = 25% body fat or more. Obesity in women = 30% body fat most excessive use of marijuana and alcohol This is as higher blood sugar, triglycerides, and estrogen. Plastics, pesticides, soaps, products for skin care, cosmetics and cleaning detergents that contain xenoestrogens, pesticides and other chemicals. The side effects of prescription drugs especially diuretics and hepatic activity of zinc deficiency. Low levels of zinc have been associated with prostate enlargement and less than desirable levels of testosterone. Besides the implementation of lifestyle changes, eliminating all estrogen precursors such as plastics, organic foods and ensuring healthy intestinal flora, several aromatase inhibitors can be obtained through botanical supplements. Resveratrol, nettle, Chrysin, passion flower and green tea are natural estrogen blockers, the prevention of aromatase. DIM is useful for estrogendominant legs in women and gynecomastia in men. Gynecomastia is a growth of breast tissue in men. I like LipoDC Biotics sublingual formula. It is owned by DIM and chrysin mixture. Besides the above, consider these important tips: Avoid the precursors of estrogens, such as plastic bottles, chemicalladen cosmetics, lotions and cleaning products. Avoid refined carbohydrates, HFC and trans fat products. Consider liver detoxification. Calcium D glucarate supports liver detoxification of excess estrogen. The liver needs B vitamins, especially B6, to detoxify excess estrogen. Eating organic foods compared to conventional due to its abundance of synthetic pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc. eliminate processed soybean products. Improve your mood naturally and get antidepressants, which raise the aromatase. Increasing levels of progesterone with herbs such as chaste tree berry. Lifting weights consistently. Omega3 oils from fish (EPA / DHA), zinc and probiotics should be added to the formula. Organic ground flax seeds promote progesterone production and inhibits estrogen production. Evidence of heavy metal toxicity solving exercise training program for dominance of estrogen and testosterone decline is a high resistance that generates muscle training intensity. Adequate nutrition should always be taken into account and can not be underestimated. Training for the participation of large muscles and multiple joint exercises require the body to lose fat stores and increase muscle mass. Some of my favorite total body training strength exercises for the Olympic Games are the lift, squat, multidirectional lunges, dead lifts, pull ups, pushups and the activity of UPS, using sandbags, body weight, weights, the formation of suspension (TRX), kettlebells, sleds, pulleys and weights. Here is an exercise program for a healthy person with a solid physical basis, which does not suffer from adrenal fatigue. Warm Up: 200 contacts jumping rope. Perform all 3 sets of A. Then, progress to two sets of heating B1 with progressive loading. DB = dumb bell. SB = Swiss Ball.

This program can be done 23 times per week on nonconsecutive days. Periodize their representatives and sets for each workout. Workout 2: 4 sets of 68 reps. Workout 3: 2 sets of 1215 repetitions. Workout 4: 5 sets of 46 reps Rest intervals can be manipulated as well. After 34 weeks of performing this program, the redesign of a whole new program with a selection of exercise altogether. Consider muscle and fat versus the amount of space occupied by these tissues in the body. Muscle equals a pound of nuts and bolts (thick and occupies a small space), while the fat is equal to one pound of cotton (space wasted). The muscle mass (hypertrophy) increases and changes in body composition. The amount of intramuscular fat decreases with strength training. Using light weights and high reps do not achieve this effect. The only time the lighter weights and high reps is recommended during the introduction for students who do not have the experience and the need to strengthen joints and tendons first, besides creating a quality motor engram various exercises to learn the technique and improve the quality of movement. Estrogen dominance is a complex condition, however, by implementing and following the above you can reduce estrogen dominance. Until next time! br br
