And, further it was 01:12 Cause for the Pause. Cause for the Pause 01:14 and now we are preventing power surges. 01:16 Preventing power not hot flashes, but power surges. 01:19 Yeah, I like that word a lot better, Power Surges. 01:22 We don't have hot flashes, as a matter of fact, 01:24 It's good in winter time too. 01:26 One time when I was sitting in a room and they were lot 01:28 of women there and there was men there as well. 01:30 Okay. And this is kind of funny 01:31 ladies, oh! and they kept saying well woman have 01:34 hot flashes and I kept saying well that's kind 01:36 of not right because I'm looking around, 01:38 I got teenagers there who got fans they fanning, 01:40 I got the men they fanning and the women would fanning. 01:43 So, unlike this call that power surge. 01:46 I think we were in one presentation in one city 01:49 and someone gave you a plaque. 01:51 Oh yes. About that. 01:52 I still have it. You still have it, yes. 01:54 There is someone who watches us do a program 01:55 one time in the community and they actually 01:58 brought me a plaque they found at a unique store 02:00 and it talked about power surges. 02:02 This excellent website called powersurge.com. 02:05 Absolutely lots of websites out there. 02:07 Absolutely, okay. Let's get into some 02:09 nutrition therapy or fluids as far as how to prevent 02:13 these power surges, not just power surges 02:15 but also other menopausal problems as well. 02:18 Let's get into, yeah absolutely, 02:19 nutrition therapy and fluids. 02:21 When we talk about that nutrition once again, 02:22 we're talking now again about having a good diet, 02:26 looking at the fruits and the vegetables 02:29 and the whole grains. We've spoke about that over 02:31 and over on Abundant Living Show 02:33 and here on 3ABN as well; whole grains 02:36 and not the fruit juice but the whole fruit 02:39 not the vegetable juices, whole-steamed veggies. 02:45 That's going to be the best for us 02:47 and for anything that has gone as a matter of fact. 02:50 We talked about that breakfast 02:52 ladies we have to get breakfast in. 02:54 And you know lot of time we get to rushing 02:55 and we don't get the breakfast in, 02:57 but breakfast is so important. 02:59 It gets us fueled for the day. 03:01 Also that fiber is such another key, 03:04 getting that fiber in, 03:05 that's coming from our fruits and vegetables 03:07 and whole grains as well. And then of course 03:10 food preparation and you know a lot of times 03:12 we get involved in preparing foods 03:15 that are not really good and healthy for us, 03:17 especially as we're going through this 03:18 area of menopause, we definitely want to 03:20 make sure that we are baking and grilling 03:23 and sauteing, okay not that high fried foods 03:27 that has to go because it will cause problems 03:29 not just for menopause, PMS and all other issues 03:31 as well. Now, what are we going to avoid? 03:34 You already know. We're going to avoid alcohol. 03:38 We're going to avoid if you are smoking 03:39 you need to stop smoking, it actually 03:41 causes a problem for estrogen. Caffeine, 03:44 I know that we talked about PMS 03:47 and how that chocolate was the big deal, 03:49 caffeine bad news whether it's in drink, candy, 03:51 you want to stay away from that, 03:53 and spicy foods. Now, spicy foods 03:56 and hot foods specifically in the evenings 04:00 you don't want that going on because 04:02 that will actually bring the power surges on. 04:04 Okay, now good, 04:07 now we have the caffeine, the alcohol. 04:08 Again, now people already having problems 04:10 with menopausal symptoms, right, so these things 04:12 would just makes it worse. Alright. 04:14 Absolutely, absolutely. What about the clothing 04:16 because of the power surges. Now you know we talk 04:20 about that clothing. We know that you know 04:23 the best clothing, let me just say it that way 04:26 to be kind the best clothing 04:28 ladies and gentlemen because we are talking 04:32 now about the ladies but we want to make sure 04:34 the gentlemen's understand and that is the cotton. 04:38 Unfortunately, we got to go back to the cotton 04:40 because the cotton actually absorbs, 04:42 got the absorption and it keeps them, 04:43 actually having those power surges. 04:45 So, always those nice little frilly, 04:47 frilly things believe or not ladies, 04:48 the cotton stuff they have coming out now 04:50 and it's absolutely gorgeous. 04:51 We will wanna look at someone of those 04:53 because now I'm not talking the long pajama thing 04:55 that the foot is stuff in it and on to your neck 04:57 and everything where those who has been trying to 04:59 figure out what was going on, okay. 05:00 We are talking about the cotton, 05:02 nice cute and dainty cotton outfits alright, 05:04 just talking about cute and dainty; 05:05 you want to be cute and dainty at the same time. 05:06 Just cute and dainty? Absolutely. 05:08 Okay, yeah maybe the windows open up in evening times. 05:11 Oh! But have one of the windows need to be open, 05:12 fresh air comes in, you know. 05:14 Yes. If you get really one of 05:15 those power surges you might want to get use some 05:17 cool water, turn the fan on, you know or take walk 05:21 outside all those kind of things are really good, 05:25 deep breathing. Yes. 05:27 that also helps a lot as well. 05:28 Okay, now, let's move into some specific foods. 05:30 What about soy because a lot are dealing with soy 05:34 and menopausal problems. Soy has some ingredients 05:36 in that. So, let's talk about soy, 05:37 soy foods and menopausal problems. 05:39 What food and drug administration is really 05:41 trying to get is all to bump up the amount of fiber 05:43 they were getting in, soy is one of those good 05:45 foods and, okay, we are talking about the 05:47 fact that 20 to 25 grams of the soy which is actually 05:51 two to three servings, okay, over the day. 05:53 That's about maybe two three ounces at a time. 05:56 All kind of soy products on the market, 05:58 believe it or not soy foods have been 06:01 highly recommended for helping to an alleviate 06:04 power surges, is also very good for low in 06:08 cholesterol because it's cholesterol free. 06:10 That's true. It improves skin quality. 06:12 Yes. It also restores vaginal moisture. 06:17 Oh! Okay. That's very, very important one. 06:19 It increases bone density. Oh! soy. 06:22 That's very important. Right, excellent. 06:23 And then of course it inhibits clot formation. 06:26 These are just some of things that soy is actually 06:29 able to do and lots papers are out there, 06:31 more and more research coming out and a lot of, 06:34 I've got some friends that actually are having 06:35 problem with power surges. Okay. 06:37 And we've been talking about the soy products 06:40 and they said it really does work. 06:41 So, you can corporate soy foods or Tufu or soy milks 06:46 or those kind of things. Soy flower, 06:47 Soy flowers and different all that's on the market. 06:49 ways of incorporating soy, absolutely, 06:50 to the person's diet. Yes. I know that orient 06:52 at least in China in the Chinese language 06:55 there is not a word for hot flashes. 06:57 There is not in their language. 06:58 No. They've taken more, 06:59 seven times more soy that we take in here in 07:02 Unites States. So, that word does not exist 07:05 in their language. Yeah, yeah. 07:07 So, we will go for that. Now, what about some 07:08 physical activity because again we talk about hot 07:11 flashes or power surges and also some other symptoms 07:14 as well. How can physical activity alleviate some of 07:18 these menopausal symptoms? Now physical activity, 07:21 note he said the word physical activity 07:23 ladies and gentlemen, and that's because 07:24 we used to say the word 'Exercise' and may be 07:27 you say the word 'Exercise', people 07:28 are like I'm not doing that okay. 07:30 So, we've going to say physical activity 07:33 that sounds lot better. We've talked about 07:34 physical activity of course we are not talking about 07:36 getting the aerobic exercise in. 07:38 We are talking about three times a week 07:40 aerobic exercise at least 20 to 30 minutes 07:43 and I no that someone is saying right now, 07:45 I don't have no 30, 20, 30 minutes to do yes you do, 07:49 when you consider what can happen as a result 07:50 of not getting that physical activity in. 07:52 And you don't have to do all 20 to 30 minutes 07:54 at one time. You can do 10 minutes in a morning, 07:57 10 minutes in the afternoon and, okay, 07:59 10 minutes before late evening because you 08:00 don't want do exercise then. Aerobic exercise 08:03 that's the aerobic, now the other one is actually 08:06 doing strength training ladies. 08:08 Strength training is so key. It helps to keep those 08:11 muscles intact. It keeps them built up. 08:13 It helps the metabolism. So, you want to do it. 08:15 Now, I'm not talking about trying to get, 08:17 I know somebody, saying she don't mind using weighs 08:19 and I'll get on, you know muscles 08:21 and everything, no you're not. 08:22 God has designed us totally different from men 08:24 and no matter how much we lift, 08:25 of course you get lift but it's not much as men 08:27 lift anyway, but you know we're talking about 08:29 the three, no more than five pounds weights. 08:32 It is more about reputation 08:33 than is about the weight itself. 08:35 Yes, now you lift weights and you have trained the two. 08:38 You wanted to talk about that for little bit. 08:40 The reason why he said that ladies 08:42 is because of the fact that, he is my trainer. 08:45 Oh! yes, right that is correct yeah, okay, yeah. 08:48 He is my trainer and he is also my walking buddy. 08:50 Yes. Okay, that's gets me out there in nature. 08:52 And maybe, you want to show your muscles, 08:54 to the audience honey how well you are toning? 08:56 We're not going to do that part right now. 08:58 We won't do the muscle portion, 09:00 but I think when I was doing this, 09:02 that was enough to kind of go there with that. 09:04 Okay. Ladies also we can swim, 09:06 we can walk, we can jog, but I'm going to tell you 09:09 one of the things that I find very beneficial 09:12 and more and more coming out 09:13 and that is walking is the best exercise. 09:17 We spoke about that before about actually getting out 09:19 there, walk out of the door. You know, going through 09:22 depression, anxiety, things getting on your nerves 09:25 all those kind of things, you need to take a 09:26 walk sometime, get away from the crowd, 09:29 go and talk a walk and you know grab a friend 09:32 or partner or somebody, and somebody being with 09:33 yes, okay. In the open air, 09:35 sunlight, absolutely, because again these 09:38 menopausal symptoms of course you're going 09:40 to have some blood sugar fluctuation, 09:42 cholesterol tends to go up because of low estrogen 09:45 so the walking, the sunlight all of these 09:47 will help to stabilize those symptoms 09:49 going on in a woman's life. Now we're about some 09:52 relaxation techniques, lot of things we can do 09:55 to lessen these menopausal symptoms. 09:57 List just some of them. I just love this part about 10:00 the relaxation techniques. Oh, why you love it? 10:02 Because when it comes to relaxation after you come 10:05 back in the house and you're feeling all good 10:08 and everything, this is a wonderful time to sit down 10:10 and read a nice book, okay, listen to some tapes, 10:14 some DVDs, you know your MP3 player 10:18 the soft music ladies, that's not that hollering 10:21 and screaming and the bunch of stuff 10:22 and you know we want to be careful of the music you know 10:24 and make sure of soft music, spiritual music, 10:27 you know we don't want to- I loss my man, 10:28 I loss my dog and cat, now I don't like to go there. 10:30 You'd be more depressed, yes, just soft stuff water 10:32 sounds, it's the way to go you know, 10:35 spring soft music, oh, I'm telling you 10:38 I'm almost about to go there. 10:39 I can't go there because I will actually just tune totally out, 10:42 yeah, yeah, stay focused lady, 10:43 you got to stay focus lady. I saw you just an 10:45 off a little bit, you know, in the third heavens. 10:47 So, we get that warm back going, yes. 10:48 I would tell you the number one thing, 10:50 the number one, the number one prayer, yes, 10:54 I can tell you enough about how God is so concerned, 10:58 about us and everything that happens to us 11:00 and prayer is the one prayer is the key 11:03 to unlocks heavens store house. 11:04 That's true. Praying is asking God 11:06 to help you and even asking him to show you those 11:08 things that you need to be doing and show you, 11:11 you know how to move into the journey as you are 11:13 moving through this journey. Okay, okay. 11:15 Okay. Yes, wonderful. 11:16 Well there's some good techniques now so 11:18 hopefully that will help a lot you are out there 11:20 who are experiencing menopausal symptoms. 11:22 You can always call me and I can always talk you through it. 11:25 Yes. Okay. Now hormone replacement therapy. 11:28 Yes. Big word. Big word, big problem. 11:31 Let's talk about that. Okay, well, we talked about 11:33 hormone replacement therapy in the last program 11:36 and that you know when we are going through menopause 11:38 because of the estrogen is low etc. 11:40 and so what they would do is get the woman estrogen 11:44 replacement therapy and of course you know to get 11:47 that it comes from a mare and a mare weighs about well 1000, 11:53 1200 pounds give or take. 11:55 They would starve the mare of water so that there urine 11:58 becomes very concentrated and get that urine 12:02 and put into a woman's body that was a 150 pounds or so, 12:05 so of course you would have some problems 12:07 with that alright. And so, that wasn't working 12:10 so they decided to add progesterone 12:12 but a synthetic progesterone was just called progestin. 12:16 We talked about the woman's health initiatives study 12:18 that's we called Hormone Replacement Therapy, 12:20 estrogen and progesterone and of course they had to stop 12:23 that three years short of completion 12:25 because of breast cancer heart attacks and stroke. 12:29 So, therefore what happens is that, 12:31 now things are moving into what we call 12:34 Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. 12:39 There is a difference between synthetic. Bioidentical is 12:43 a hormones that's plant based. 12:46 Yes. That is molecular in structure 12:50 similar to the woman's estrogen that they produce. 12:54 That's right. The same structure is to saying 12:56 identical. Synthetic is similar but it's not 13:01 identical so therefore that's the different between 13:05 bioidentical hormone replacement therapy 13:07 which is a plan-based either comes from a Soy 13:11 or Mexican Wild Yam that's the progesterone. 13:15 So, but again excess serving 13:17 of sweet potato pies is not going to get it ladies. 13:19 No, not that. This is the Mexican Wild Yam. 13:21 That's right. Yeah, not sweet potato pies, 13:23 I want to make sure we understand that. 13:25 And so with that in mind it's more of better fit 13:28 to the body as well. So, now with in mind 13:32 before we do that we need to have some different 13:35 tests to see where you stand 13:37 because everybody is different. 13:39 So, let's go through this. I'm going to show you 13:41 what test needs to be taken for this 13:44 Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. 13:47 Here are the hormone test that you need to take 13:50 a ladies, first of all is Estrogen 13:52 and Estrogen has at least 400 impact 13:57 of what the body functions in a system, 13:59 400 functions are responsible just from 14:02 Estrogen alone and then you have Progesterone 14:05 another hormone, my wife talked about last program 14:09 back in their 70s then we added Testosterone 14:13 in the 1990's and then two more as of late 14:16 Cortisol that's the stress hormone 14:19 and DHEA both of those last two from the adrenals. 14:23 So, those our of five major hormones 14:26 ladies that need to be tested 14:28 and how those tests accurately, 14:31 we're not talking about a blood test, 14:34 we're talking about a saliva test. 14:35 That's right. And that's the different 14:37 between the two. Saliva test tests your hormones 14:40 within the cell itself and a blood test, 14:43 test of hormones in the liver. 14:44 So, it's not as accurate. So, therefore you want 14:47 a saliva test therefore it's more accurate 14:49 as far as where you stand then there were 14:52 match your hormone level with this 14:54 bioidentical hormone therapy for therefore it's more 14:58 of it perfect match for that woman. 15:00 Now can anybody and you said pharmacist 15:04 can anybody do this testing? 15:07 Yes. These pharmacist, 15:09 are they what type of pharmacist are there, 15:11 are they is certified? Okay, yeah, now we're 15:13 talking about compound pharmacists, 15:17 alright and this is a person who has a license 15:20 and regulated by the State board of pharmacy, 15:24 okay, compound pharmacist and they are all over 15:27 United States, Headquarters in Houston, 15:29 Texas and I want to show you on the screen where 15:33 you can get this compound pharmacist and were you can 15:36 locate compound pharmacist in your area. 15:39 Here is the website, it's the International Academy 15:43 Of Compound Pharmacist and our website there is, 15:47 IACPRX.COM.

And He is the one 16:48 who is directing all the way around and you know what, 16:51 we have basically kind of so much more to say on the 16:55 subject, yes, but I think you really got the 16:56 jist of it I think you know exactly what you need 16:58 to go or you need to do at this point 17:00 and we're going to be going into the kitchen 17:03 and when we go in that kitchen, guess what 17:05 we're going to be doing these Oat Grain Waffles 17:08 with a wonderful pineapple sauce. 17:11 Get your paper and your pencil 17:13 and meet us in the kitchen. |
