The "Limbic system" and "Menopause"

So, the question for today is this . . . is there a "connection" between the "limbic" system in the brain . . . and "menopause"???

Well . . . believe it or not . . . the "limbic system" . . . not only is in control of our "decision making" . . . as we've spoken many times before . . .

It also . . . plays a significant role in "MENOPAUSE" . . . by "regulating" mood and emotions!!!

********THIS IS IMPORTANT LADIES - THIS IS THE IMFORMATION THAT THEY'RE "NOT" TELLING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see . . . it's the "limbic system" that CONTAINS a "HIGH" concentration of "ESTROGEN RECEPTORS" . . .

Which makes this system . . . "highly" sensitive to "hormonal changes" like . . . lack of estrogen!!!

And with this . . . it can manifest as . . .

Mood swings

Anxiety

Irritability

Sadness

Difficulty concentrating

Fatigue

Depression

Difficulty managing stress

Insomnia

Constipation

Diarrhea

Weight issues

Acid reflux

Hot flashes

Brain fog

Bloating

And everything in between!!!

Now . . . during menopause . . . when "ovarian estrogen" production "declines" . . .

The pituitary gland releases more of the hormone called FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in the attempt to "stimulate" OVULATION to make more estrogen . . .

But that production never happens.

And with this . . . it leaves the body with LOW estrogen . . . and HIGH "FSH".

Which leads to . . .

Irregular periods

Hot flashes

Night sweats

Vaginal dryness

Mood swings

Difficulty conceiving

Decreased libido

So . . . it's NOT actually the LOW "ESTROGEN" LEVEL that's causing our suffering . . .

It's the HIGH "FSH" LEVELS!!!

And when this happens . . . the HIGH "FSH" affects the "ESTROGEN RECEPTORS" in the brain.

And BOOM . . . we now have tough menopausal symptoms!!!

Did you get that???

Now . . . I'm not saying we don't need to add some "estrogen" back into our body . . . to help the supply of the other "estrogens" that are supplied to the body from the heart, liver, skin, fat, etc.

But . . . keeping it "plant-based" FOOD is the healthier way to go.

And with that . . . we would need to make sure . . . our "limbic system" is fully functional!!!!

Because believe it or not . . .

A "dysfunctional" LIMBIC system . . . is VERY common in today's world!!!

And "STRESS" is the #1 reason.

Another major factor is the "yeast/fungal" overgrowth called Candida I'm always talking about.

You know . . . that's the one that produces the toxin "Ethanol" . . . that depletes "oxygen" from our cell . . . and can then damage our DNA . . . causing cancer.

Ya . . . that one . . .

Well, it also can "disrupt" the normal function of the "brain" and its "limbic system" . . . which controls our "estrogen receptors" and symptoms in "menopause"!!!

And "Candida" can also significantly affect the "vaginal" area during menopause with . . . vaginal dryness, itching, burning, unusual vaginal discharge, pain while urinating, discomfort during sex and NO SEX DRIVE LADIES!!!!!!!!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's continue with other reasons our "limbic system" is malfunctioning causing a "difficult" menopause.
