00:00:00 Hello everyone, thank you so much for watching this video. Today I will be talking about how supplements can help you to manage symptoms of uterine fibroids and complement other medical treatments and good nutrition. So just a quick overview because I have already spoken about what uterine fibroids are in other videos but they are non-cancerous growths that grow
00:00:25 in or around uterus. Their symptoms are heavy bleeding, pain, pelvic pain, in or around uterus. Their symptoms are heavy bleeding, pain, pelvic pain, abdominal pain and also frequent urination. So sometimes because of where the bulges are in the uterus it can sometimes put pressure on the bladder as well so frequent urination is one of the symptoms to look out for. There are plenty of medical treatments available.
00:00:50 Good nutrition is a holistic way to approach it and that can be combined with medical treatments or on its own. And then this video as I said is going to discuss supplements and on its own. And then this video as I said is going to discuss supplements and how they can also be part of the puzzle in managing and treating symptoms of uterine fib roids.
00:01:10 So what supplements would I recommend to help manage symptoms of uterine fibro ids? Well, I suffer with uterine fibroids myself. My symptoms have improved greatly since I was first diagnosed or realized that I had them. I suffered with bad symptoms and this is why I recommend first and foremost DIM or DYNDOMI thing because it really helps I recommend first and foremost DIM or DYNDOMI thing because it really helps
00:01:34 with estrogen metabolism in the body. I frequently take it but every day I take DIM to help with my estrogen metabolism and I do notice when I stop taking it for a period of time I just feel different things start to change and symptoms start to come back with my uterine fibroids. So that's definitely number one on my list. Number two is NAC or in
00:01:56 acetylcysteine. Again, we're talking about the liver and how we get the liver to optimize and Again, we're talking about the liver and how we get the liver to optimize and function really well and NAC is excellent at helping detoxification processes with the liver but also metabolizing foods and hormones. So estrogen metabolism will increase if you take
00:02:12 both DIM and NAC. Thirdly, inflammation. So again, any hormonal imbalances such as estrogen dominance is in the body, we usually lead to inflammation. So omega-3 is your anti-inflammatory nutrient. So omega-3 supplements are really, really good to take and just make nutrient. So omega-3 supplements are really, really good to take and just make sure you're getting relatively high doses of both EPA and DHA fatty acids in your omega-3
00:02:40 supplement. You can get this through a fish oil or there are vegan options out there as well for those who don't eat fish or can't eat fish. And then lastly, vitamin D3. Now these are the four main ones I'd like people to consider. There are some others but vitamin D caps to regulate cell growth. So the fact that there are growths happening
00:02:58 to regulate cell growth. So the fact that there are growths happening internally, vitamin D is great also with inflammation but to just regulate that and manage that. And so fibroids themselves don't become too large. Also, vitamin D is a good supplement for anyone to take particularly in colder countries where we don't have a lot of sunshine because most
00:03:20 people living in those countries, myself included, tend to suffer from vitamin D deficiencies if they don't take a supplement. Some additional supplements you might want to if they don't take a supplement. Some additional supplements you might want to use also are firstly, I've got green tea extract. This contains a component called EGCG which is a powerful antioxidant and has been shown in studies to help inhibit the cell
00:03:46 growth of fibroids so that they don't grow too large and also reduce symptoms as well. We 've got curcumin which is again is a really powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient. It is found in the spice turmeric. So if you are buying the supplement, it might come up as the spice turmeric. So if you are buying the supplement, it might come up as turmeric
00:04:03 with curcumin underneath or it might be just curcumin but again, wonderful antioxidant and brilliant at lowering inflammation in the body. You've also got milk th istle, now milk thistle and underneath I've got the B vitamins and these will both help with hormone regulation and also estrogen metabolism in the body but just mainly hormone balancing
00:04:25 properties mainly from these two. And then lastly, you've got chaste treeberry. properties mainly from these two. And then lastly, you've got chaste treeberry. Now this has a strong influence on the pituitary gland so the pituitary gland would release follicle stimulating hormone so if follicle stimulating hormone is something that has been identified as high for you, this might be a supplement that you might want to take because
00:04:47 again, this will help with the amount of estrogen produced by the ovaries. So chaste treeberry is one took out for if this is something you want to manage. Okay, so just a
