  • 1. Poor Diet

  • 25:09
  • Test, Don’t Guess!
  • Digestion:
  • 25:37
  • The health of your digestion is central to the health of your entire body and mind. All disease begins in the gut, and conversely, most diseases can be healed in the gut (the enteric nervous system).
  • The gut is considered the second brain.
  • GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), represents 70% of your entire immune system.
  • Weight, moods, hormone metabolism , and inflammation are gut-mediated (happens in the gut).
  • Estrobolome: collection of microbes capable of metabolizing estrogens.
  • The alkalinity of each part of my digestion is:
  • 26:58
  • Mouth: alkaline – breaks down carbohydrates
  • Stomach: acidic – breaks down proteins. First line of defense against microbes from your mouth.
  • Small Intestine: alkaline. Fat metabolism

  • pointed at one end
  • no bits of food
  • at least 1 per day
  • no skid marks in the toilet bowel – too much mucus
  • does not float (fats not metabolized well), it should sink
  • Estrobolome:
  • 30:11
  • The estrobolome (enteric bacterial genes) modulates the enterohepatic circulation of estrogens and affects circulating and excreted estrogen levels.
  • i.e. is responsible for the metabolism of estrogen
  • B-Glucuronidase:
  • 31:45
  • A bacterial species that can “deconjugate” estrogen in the gut, leading to their reabsorption back into the circulation.

  • What are Chakras?:
  • 36:44
  • Chakras, by definition, are energy centers within the human body that help to regulate all its processes; from organ function, to the immune system and emotions.
  • The Fourth Charka:
  • 37:39

Each chakra supplies life energy to its corresponding organs. The Fourth Chakra is all about nourishing and caring for ourselves and also others. When balanced, this energy keeps all of the organs of the Fourth Chakra healthy. This includes the heart, lungs, upper spine, shoulders, and of course, the breasts.

Breasts are the most fundamental form and representation of maternal love and nourishment.  But, the love that makes maternal nurturance so life-affirming must be replenished regularlyβ€”otherwise it leads to health problems in the organs of the Fourth Chakra, often the breasts.

When a woman puts her own personal and emotional needs on the back burnerβ€”or forgets entirely that she has them, which our culture has programmed us to do for millenniaβ€”the energy of her Fourth Chakra inevitably becomes diminished by resentment, anger, grief, longing, pining for contact, and pure fatigue. This is the energy pattern that invites breast, shoulder, heart, and lung problems. And diseases in those areas cause the majority of deaths and disabilities in women, including breast cancer and heart disease. But, male breast cancer is also on the rise.
