I have been doing Wahaika's program with the greenbush extract kit (not the blend, the individual herbs) and I'm very happy with the results. However I've been having a few problems lately regarding lots of crying, foggy thinking, and weight gain that I just can't lose for the life of me, and I believe it is due to excess estrogen. I don't know for sure, this is just what my research is leading to.
Isabelle and Wahaika have been kind enough to answer my questions and help, but I just wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else has had this problem? I am taking a break this week to see if things change, and my face seems to be breaking out. Did anyone else go through this? And what was your solution? Thanks!
Yeah, it sounds like you might have excess estrogen or estrogen dominance, the way you can fix this is by lowering your phytoestrogen dosage and if you are taking PM, you need to take breaks from it to avoid this. Many taking PM use it starting from day 1 of their period and then use it for 15-20 days, then use another weaker phytoestrogen for days 21-28 of their cycle then start up with PM again on the first day of their period. PM is not meant to be taken 30 days a month 12 months a year.
