'Estrogen dominance' and 'estrogen detox' are terms that are very commonly used in alternative medicine world.
I used it too during my initial stage in practice.

Observation is not equal to causation. The Estrogens are high for a reason and does not have to be demonised or detoxed.
Your symptoms may not be due to the high estrogens.

Talk to a knowledgable professional about your hormones before cruising the interwebs. You'll find crazy stuff out there.

Thank you Peta Creative Copywriting for the post. I had great time with these amazing entrepreneur ladies who are so passionate about their work.

We discussed about the peri menopausal transitional phase in women’s life and what you can do to support this phase to be seamless as possible.
It was fun!

Had a powerful 2 hours with amazing women at The Athena Network Singapore meeting with the Straits Group yesterday. Discussions around standing for something greater than ourselves, networking and objectives and connections, as well as a very informative presentation around women's menopausal health from Dr. Radhika Kamat, Naturopathic Doctor from Integrative Medical Centre.

“The negative self-talk and poor self-esteem that many moms battle rarely show up for the first time in adult life. They are borne in an adolescence of undiagnosed or misunderstood ADHD. If you grow up being called ditzy, dreamy or dumb, you begin to believe it. You begin to think you are lazy or "less than" others because no one’s told you that neurology and physiology are to blame. You internalize the shame and it begins to eat away at you.”

You love your kids. But you hate motherhood, and all of the unspoken expectations, feelings of inadequacy, and daily stresses of the job. Here’s why mothers with ADHD struggle more than their counterparts, and how you can begin to live life on your terms.

Let's talk about ADHD in girls and women; something I really want to raise some awareness.

This area has never received much attention. First of all we find that girls/women don’t get diagnosed because they really work very hard to compensate for their ADHD symptoms and not let anyone know what’s going on, they really suffer silently.

They have the same symptoms as boys but manifest differently because girls tend to compensate.

It is not until they find that the excess pressure of life gets in the way beyond their ability to manage. Their coping methods fall short of due to excess demands of life - Family/ Kids/ work is when they seek help.

Beyond regular blood tests, Physicians need to look deeply as to why these women may be having a hard time. Is it due to undiagnosed underlying ADHD?

They often have;
- Low self esteem , Blame themselves being not good enough.
- Inability to focus
- Lack attention to detail
- Depression
- May develop perfectionist qualities or tendencies, OCD like tendencies,
- Certain tasks are absolutely hard -Such as filling forms etc.
-Can’t get ordinary household tasks done.
- They may have relationship issues as partners may not understand.
- They are successful and achieved their goals but came with a lot of pressure to focus in childhood and growing up.
�The periods of ADHD worsen with hormonal changes such as Puberty, Prior to me**es, Post pregnancy, peri menopause and menopause.
Post menopause, symptoms largely can get worse- attention and recall issues.
�The good news is it can be treated.
Awareness is the first step and then seeking proper help.

Do know there are options; - Natural, conventional or Integrative medicine.

Olive oil!

There is a lot of confusion about olive oil in general - if it can be heated, should we eat raw? How should I choose olive oil ?

Read my new post on this.

An ingredient that can lead to a lot of confusion! How to purchase a “good”olive oil ? Should I heat it? Is it only to be used raw? Research suggests: When compared with other oils, EVOO was the least in the category to transform into transfats which are inflammatory. There was no correlation ....

Hashimotos Thyroid is a common condition that I often encounter in my practice.
It does not happen overnight. It takes years to develop. Screening for thyroid antibodies can help diagnose Hashimotos early as antibodies can be elevated even before it causes Hypothyroidism. There are stages that people will go through.

You dont have to wait until you are hypothyroid because Hashimotos is a result of long standing disease.

Intervention can be done long before there are changes to the hormones by removing thyroid triggers, addressing the root cause(s) and working with practitioner who can provide the right supplementation.

Where are you in the stages of Hashimotos?
