Barbara O'Neill: Hormones and Sexual Health (Part 5)

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -

Summary

Hormones are chemical messengers in our body that affect our emotions and sexuality. Hormonal imbalances can lead to various symptoms in both men and women, including early development, heavy periods, depression, and more. Understanding the monthly cycle and how hormones are produced can help bring balance back to the body.

Highlights

  • 👧 Early development and menstruation can indicate hormonal imbalances in girls.
  • 🌪️ Hormonal imbalances in women can cause symptoms such as heavy periods, depression, and reproductive issues.
  • 🚹 Hormonal imbalances in men can lead to low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, and prostate problems.
  • 🔄 The monthly cycle involves the interplay between estrogen and progesterone, with progesterone being the key hormone.
  • 💊 Birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body.
  • 🍗 Hormones in meat and estrogen-like chemicals in plastics can also affect hormonal balance.
  • 💡 Lifestyle changes, such as eliminating synthetic hormones, stimulating liver function, and using natural creams, can help restore hormonal balance.
Key Insights
  • 👧 Early puberty, such as breast development and menstruation, can indicate hormonal imbalances in girls. These imbalances can lead to various symptoms, including heavy and painful periods, tender breasts, and premenstrual tension. Understanding what is considered a normal age for these developments can help identify hormonal imbalances.
  • 🚹 Hormonal imbalances in men can manifest as low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, and changes in masculine characteristics. Excessive female hormones in men and excessive male hormones in women can also cause feminization and masculinization, respectively. Recognizing these symptoms can help diagnose hormonal imbalances in men.
  • 🔄 The monthly cycle in women involves the interplay between estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for cell growth in the uterus and ovaries, while progesterone prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy. Proper ovulation is crucial for maintaining progesterone levels and balancing other hormones. Understanding this cycle can help identify hormonal imbalances in women.
  • 💊 Birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body. Synthetic hormones in these medications can cause estrogen dominance, leading to various symptoms such as mood swings, weight gain, and increased cancer risks. Considering alternative contraceptive methods and natural hormone-balancing remedies may be beneficial.
  • 🍗 Hormones in meat, especially chicken, and estrogen-like chemicals in plastics can also affect hormonal balance. Growth stimulants used in meat production and nonylphenol in plastics can mimic estrogen and disrupt the endocrine system. Choosing organic meat and reducing exposure to plastics can help minimize the impact on hormonal balance.
  • Implementing lifestyle changes such as eliminating synthetic hormones, stimulating liver function, and using natural hormone-balancing remedies like wild yam cream can help restore hormonal balance. These changes may include avoiding the use of birth control pills and HRT, consuming foods and supplements that support liver detoxification and hormone metabolism, and reducing exposure to hormone-disrupting substances. Taking a holistic approach to hormonal health is essential for overall well-being.

Fenbendazole Joe Tippens Protocol: A Step-by-Step Guide (2024)

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, or have a loved one that is suffering from cancer, chances are you have heard about the Joe Tippens Cancer Protocol. The Fenbendazole Cancer Protocol has been gaining rapid interest over the past years following some fenbendazole advanced cancer success stories. We have seen tremendous demand for some sort of guide on how to use fenbendazole for cancer as there is also tremendous confusion both from the healthcare and non-healthcare communities. Joe Tippens  founded the protocol  after he was told a story about a scientist at Merck Animal Health that had been performing cancer research on mice. The research included injecting different types of cancers into different mice body parts. The scientists discovered, through trial and error, a product in their canine product line, fenbendazole, that was batting 1.000 in killing these different cancers in the mice. The scientist was later diagnosed with stage 4 brain cance

Lumbrokinase vs Nattokinase vs Serrapeptase: What's the Difference?

By -
Image
Lumbrokinase, nattokinase, and serrapeptase are all enzymes that have been studied for their potential health benefits. They are all considered as proteolytic enzymes. Proteolytic enzymes have a variety of roles in the body, from helping to digest food to taking part in the immune response. What is Lumbrokinase? Lumbrokinase (LK) is an enzyme derived from earthworms is thought to aid in blood clot prevention, inflammation reduction, and circulation problems.  Lumbrokinase for Blood Clots Thrombolytic agents typically used to dissolve clots are urokinase (u-PA), streptokinase, and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). These drugs, however, are not specific for fibrin and have adverse and dangerous side effects including severe bleeding and heavy blood loss which may result in death. In contrast, LK is very specific to fibrin as a substrate and it does not cause excessive bleeding. It can dissolve the fibrin itself or convert plasminogen to plasmin by inducing endogenous t-PA activity to

NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN? What are the Differences?

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
NAC vs NAD vs NR vs NMN ? Due to the small alphabetical differences, these supplements are often mixed up and confused by most consumers. We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these supplements below. NAD NAD is derived from Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). The levels of NAD in our body determine the speed of aging process. In younger cells and tissues, the levels of NAD are higher. As a result, younger people tend to have better physical activity, cognitive function and potential for cell repair and regeneration. As we grow, the levels of NAD in our body start to decline. This is reflected in the form of slowed cognitive response, loss of memory and reduced agility. Research suggests it may be possible to reverse mitochondrial decay with dietary supplements that increase cellular levels of a molecule called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).  NAD is a linchpin of energy metabolism, among other roles, and its diminishing level with age has been implicated in mitochond

How to Detox Spike Protein After COVID (2024)

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -

The spike protein is naturally found in SARS-CoV-2, no matter the variant. In its native form in SARS-CoV-2, the spike protein is responsible for the pathologies of the viral infection. As of June 2024, federal  data  published by the US CDC found that 18.4% (National Estimate) of adults who previously had a COVID-19 infection are currently experiencing symptoms of long COVID.  In its wild form it’s known to open the blood-brain barrier, cause cell damage (cytotoxicity) and, as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the  mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology , said in a commentary on  News Voice , “is active in manipulating the biology of the cells that coat the inside of your blood vessels — vascular endothelial cells, in part through its interaction with ACE2, which controls contraction in the blood vessels, blood pressure and other things.” It’s also been revealed that the spike protein on its own is enough to cause inflammation and damage to the vascular system, even independ

10 Best Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide Supplements Review 2024

By Dr. Frank Yap, MD -
Image
NMN stands for Nicotinamide MonoNucleotide, a molecule naturally occurring in all life forms. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NMN is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, meaning it becomes NAD+ through a series of chemical transformations. NAD+ is a critical found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. However, NMN is like a large bed that movers are trying to get through a door: It doesn’t enter the cell easily. One way for NMN to enter the cell is for it to chemically transform into another molecule (called nicotinamide riboside, or NR) before it can enter the cell. NR has earned a name for itself as a highly efficient precursor to NAD+ and can enter the cell as is. NMN, meanwhile, sometimes becomes NR before entering the ce

Full Transcript Jan Jekielek: Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, such a pleasure to have you on American Thought Leaders. Dr. Kathleen Ruddy:  Thank you for having me. Mr. Jekielek:  You are deeply involved with the FLCCC [Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance] and you are also working on ivermectin as a possible treatment for cancer. This might be astonishing to some people. Ivermectin is a very famous drug for treating river blindness and has saved millions of lives. We know it’s effective for treating Covid-19, especially at its early stage. There have been a lot of studies done on this. Dr. Kathleen Ruddy:  I have to say that I was also astonished that ivermectin has potential as an anti-cancer agent. I’m a cancer surgeon. We don’t do parasites. We don’t do ivermectin. I was not really even familiar with those people who use ivermectin. In the early days of Covid, when it became clear that ivermectin was effective in preventing and treating patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection, I looked at t
