Dr. George Best: Hi, I'm Dr. George Best of best heath and wellness in San Antonio, Texas and this is the final part of my series on why can't I loose weight and that earliest part what I'm going to be discussing is how oestrogen particularly synthetic oestrogens in chemicals of mini oestrogen can interfere with your ability to loose weight.
As we discuss in the lost video one of the things that happens is that as excess oestrogen particularly synthetic oestrogen can block the receptor sites on the cells for timely hormone and even know you have particularly normal thyroid levels we get function of that thyroid part on may be little and I'm best cause do gain some weight but there are other aspects of best you making also.
Oestrogen in a bit self if you can natural oestrogen is a faster in type of form up is a for women it is there in high levels primarily to support child birth functions that's what is therefore, men do have oestrogen as well, it's produced by the ovaries. So the problems that most people have with excess oestrogen is actually do usually to synthetic oestrogens and this can be in the form of birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy that a lot of men are taking at least synthetic hormone replacement and when you get this exercise they can hear through thyroid function.
We probably discuss it's also tensed to cause by to deposit way around the pelvic area and this is how related to child birth functions do basically we are trying to you know support the pelvis which is were you going to have the issues with child birth so oestrogen causes you to gain weight and you can hear these out you are going, see, see its you guys have to deal this and its true right. Men definitely have been advantage of most case over women; when it comes to weight lose because they don't have high oestrogen levels.
But what you are going to do, you know that's the way it is. What you can do the is you can minimize your exposure to synthetic oestrogens and birth control pills, yeah they are convenient but ultimately if you are trying to loose weight and you can't you may need to conserving of to the birth control pills. If you are on hormone replacement therapy again its may be helpful from other standpoints but if actually you can control menopause symptoms like heart flashes in that type of thing in other ways that don't drive your oestrogen levels way off but you know it something if you are really comment to loose weight you may need to talk to a doctor about other options or you know gain also hormone replacement.
Now there are few other things out there, as one of that few, that can mimic synthetic oestrogen and that things include plastics and one of the things that you want to watch for as if you are going to store food or drinks inside plastic containers to look at recycling code on the container and on the bottom of any new plastic container so recycling code you know see type of triangular symbol and then there showed a number of middle of that triangular symbol and what's you want to do is a avoid containers with 3, 6 or 7 in that triangular recycle code because those plastics would release on dioxide, which act like synthetic oestrogens in the body and can cause the same problems with those weight gain that synthetic oestrogens can. In addition to that pesticides fertilize things that are used in commercial products production, they can cause problems as well.
Generally I recommend people buy organic, I know that's works that's avoid to shop to produce and there are certain foods that are better in others in terms of how much little pesticide residue you find on them and things like broccoli or usually pretty good, things like lettuce are usually pretty bad but basically you know if you don't want to buy organic then you want to make sure that you wash the fruits and vegetables very thoroughly before you consume them.
At presence solve the together you still fall better in organic but if you stay reduces the, and other things that are there involved its just various things that you may or may not be control. There are sometimes things in our water supplies and you just pull water supplies I generally recommend you to drink boiled water, again watching out that the bottle does have 3, 6, or 7 in the recycle code and the other thing that you will see is an certain other foods such as meat.
Lot of times that you use hormones, especially beef and pork cause the, to grow faster and they contain synthetic oestrogen as well, so gain better go with I don't well in the case we see to want to do, natural meats have been heart problems and some dairy products are possible. That's basically the approach that you want to avoid these extra oestrogens as much if you can and for those people who have a lot of problems as far as primal cause premenstrual syndrome if you have ask and our postnatal pauses symptoms like heart flashes and that kind of thing. There are lot of the purchase that we can taken there natural, that will help you to handle those things and feel lot better and imbalance at your hormones naturally, so producing in the levels and in the right ratios and that's goes beyond, this video if you interested in contacting me there is a way do on that my blog and just show on the contact information I'll be happy to discuss.
That's concludes this video on the oestrogen factors in weight gains and that's actually concludes this series on why can't I loose weight? Of basically it comes down for most people to diet, exercise and avoiding certain things that are going to interfere major ability to loose weight. In some case are things like you can do that or accelerate your weight lose to an extent, they don't work in place of the diet and exercise though. There are some supplements that do help and again into my login and use the contact me function. If you are interested in more information at those types of things and please look go for this video.
I'm going to leave it that, you do you need diet, do you need exercise, you have to do the right diet and the right exercise for your circumstances and avoid as much possible those things are going to interfere with your weight loss.
