SUPPORT YOUR HORMONE HEALTH WITH THESE FOODS
Here are our top foods and nutrients to support your optimal hormone balance!
PROGESTERONE: avocado, salmon + zinc, vitamins B6 & C and magnesium
ESTROGEN: carrots, flaxseed, + magnesium, vitamins E & B6
TESTOSTERONE: eggs, grass-fed organic beef, blueberries + magnesium, zinc
CORTISOL: chocolate, sweet potato + magnesium
THYROID: seaweed, Brazilian nuts, + iodine, magnesium, selenium,
MELATONIN & HEALTHY SLEEP: grass-fed organic dairy, cherries + magnesium, B vitamins
These will help you supply what your body needs to make and regulate your hormones and optimize signaling.
But there’s one step missing, which is hormone receptor health.
You see, hormones lock into your cells at locations called hormone receptors, or “binding sites”. But hormones aren’t the only thing that can bind to your cells at hormone receptors. Heavy metals like cadmium and lead, as well as substances like xenoestrogens.
This is where problems can begin, because as you can imagine, they don’t have the same effect on your cells as a normal healthy hormone would.
This is why we are happy to have found a product to share with our patients and clients that aids in the detoxification of these “fakers”, allowing the good hormones to work their magic.
It’s simply called Receptor Detox. It contains magnesium, B2 & B6, selenium, and others–the nutrients in the above list, in fact. It comes highly recommended for mature people on hormone replacement.
Would you like to give it a try?

OH! MY KITCHEN SOAP IS AFFECTING MY HORMONES!!
Have you tried these simple swaps for hormone balance?
Investing in your health in this way doesn’t need to cost the earth or be done all at once, but these are some key items to switch out in your kitchen to block hormone-disrupting substances from entering your body–and of course the bodies of your family.
This is because substances like plastics, BPAs, dish soap fragrances and parabens, harsh chemicals and Teflon are not only toxic to your body, tiny amounts can get into your body through your food and kitchenware… then get stored in your fat cells.
They can begin to give your body instructions that lead to hormone dysfunction. Hormones are like messengers. So, the question is: which messages do you want to give to your body?
Positive ones, right?
Which kitchen utensils and products will you switch out first? We’d love to know in the comments below!
Looking for natural ways to heal faster and speed recovery time? Great! We can help!
Join us for Getting to The Point of Dry Needling on Wednesday, August 9th. Our goal is to reveal all the benefits of dry needling, explain the process, and prepare you for your first session.

RECEPTOR DETOX FOR MEN & WOMEN
Without healthy hormone receptor function, hormones can have no positive effect on the body. This is because receptors are the “gates” that let all hormones lock into and communicate with your cells.
Designed by Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson, Receptor Detox contains carefully selected nutrients shown to gently, effectively and safely “detox” and clear hormone receptors, ensuring healthy hormone signaling.
Receptor Detox is recommended daily for optimal receptor functioning for both females and males, and highly recommended for mature people on hormone replacement.
Could healthy receptors be the missing piece you need to quickly move forward in your wellness journey?
It’s designed to help all women and men!
Receptor Detox can be found here: https://drcraigpjohn.estorerx.com/b-vital.html
ESTROGEN DOMINANCE: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
It’s no surprise really that many people are being told that they have high estrogen when you consider that xenoestrogens are all around us.
Xenoestrogens are man-made chemicals found in:
- Cosmetics
- Tap water
- Fragrances
- Birth control pills
- Toys (including slime)
- Receipts
- Sunscreen
- Artificial food dyes
- Basically all forms of plastic and home furnishings just to name a few.
They mimic our own estrogen but can be 1000X more powerful and may be significantly contributing to hormone imbalance.
And what’s more, most of us aren’t consuming the right levels of nutrients that can help safeguard you against estrogen imbalance…
As well as put you back on course when hormone levels begin to move away from the optimum ratios.
Your liver needs certain cofactors and enzymes to do this more effectively.
Want the juicy details?
Here they are:
A: Magnesium, vitamin B6 promote the methylation of catechol estrogens (2-OH and 4-OH). Methylation is a very important detoxification process that happens in the liver.
B: Vitamins A & E reduce how much catechol estrogens oxidize, a process which can cause DNA damage and gene toxicity (or “genotoxicity”).
C: Magnesium, flavonoids and vitamins promote the detoxification of estrogens by helping detoxification enzymes to do their job correctly for proper estrogen balance.
That’s why we love Hormone Balance & Protect by Biotics Research.
It contains the above nutrients as well as others at dosages designed to help you balance the hormones in your body.
You can find it here https://drcraigpjohn.estorerx.com/b-vital.html
NUTRITION & LOW ESTROGEN
Did you know that your body makes hormones like estrogen using the same building blocks that make up a healthy diet?
Hormones are either proteins or steroids, and most of them are proteins (excluding the s*x hormones and those from the adrenal cortex). Steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol.
So here are some of the foods and nutrients to keep in mind for optimal hormone balance:
1: Healthy fats, such as high-quality meat and coconut oil to supply adequate cholesterol
2: Quality protein such as organic chicken, fish and h**p protein powder
3: Botanicals, vitamins and minerals that support liver detox such as Stinging Nettle, Milk thistle (Silybum marianum), and the B vitamins B5 and B6
The supplement we love to support healthy estrogen and overall hormone balance is called Hormone Balance & Protect.

OUR TOP TOOLS & STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU BALANCE YOUR HORMONES
To balance your hormones in the most effective way, it’s important to choose the most powerful tools and strategies, right?
Here’s where to focus your attention for more balance in your body and mood:
1: Avoid snoozing
When you begin to wake up, your “sleep hormone” melatonin naturally starts to drop, and your “it’s time to go!” hormone cortisol kicks in and will help you feel refreshed. Except when you snooze instead, the cascade of hormones that are released after cortisol doesn’t get triggered in the same way… This can make you feel sleep inertia, or sleep drunkenness, as well as cause digestive issues, like missing your morning p**p.
2: Eat nutrient-dense food
You like to think that your body should handle anything that comes it's way with perfect poise, and it does… As best it can! Nutrients are the building blocks of your body and all the substances and structures it creates. In short, when you consume enough nutrients you give your body the best possible chance of creating hormones and maintaining optimal balance in the systems that surround them.
3: Drink 60-80 ounces of water
In order to protect digestive juices, try drinking ¾-1 quart water 20-30 minutes before a meal. Add lemon or drink natural herbal teas instead if you really don’t like plain water.
4: Move every 90 mins
Hormones travel around the body through our bloodstream, so to get them where they need to go, and maximize your body function… You could get up from your chair when at the office and walk a little, stretch. And have you ever tried yoga, which is designed to massage your organs, including your hormonal glands? Whichever way feels good, move.
5: 20 minutes of quiet time without electronics
It’s surprising how the little things can be life-changing. Grab a book, a magazine or a loved one for cuddles and watch how refreshing just 20 minutes of quiet time can be!
This simple practice will affect your stress hormones and help boost the activity of your parasympathetic nervous system, which could help support glandular repair.
6: Self-talk for hormonal balance
Simply thinking about stressful situations or imagining negative outcomes can trick your body into believing a real threat is present. And the opposite is also true! Self-affirm, compliment yourself and reassure, to tip the balance back in a healthy direction.
7: Do things that make you happy
Just like exercise, laughter and joy can boost endorphins and dopamine, which in turn tell your body that stress hormones aren’t needed. What makes you feel good? Do that, daily!
Lifestyle changes like these can be very powerful allies in hormonal regulation!
What’s 1 thing above that you can implement immediately and change your life?

Physically active people have lower health risks as a whole, but in particular heart health. Exercise does the following:
1. Helps improve the muscle’s ability to pull oxygen out of the blood, reducing the need for the heart to pump more blood to the muscles.
2. Reduces stress hormones that can put an extra burden on the heart.
3. Slows heart rate and lowers blood pressure naturally.
4. Decreases risk of atherosclerosis.

CLINICAL IMPROVEMENTS IN TESTOSTERONE LEVELS
Biotics Research put together a research project to test the effects of a formula designed to support men’s hormone health called b-VITAL®.
b-Vital® provides "A Treasure from the Andes", Peruvian Maca, used for centuries to restore balance and increase energy, combined with Velvet Deer Antler, harvested live (no need to destroy these awesome creatures) from American Elk.
The many traditional uses of these adaptogenic compounds are due to their rich and diverse nutrient, chemical and phytochemical compositions.
The study showed that, in men ages 45-55, supplementing with b-VITAL® for 30 days increased salivary “free testosterone” in 100%of the subjects.

ATTENTION ALL ATHLETES: it’s important to study, practice, train, & perform as hard as you possibly can; however, it’s MOST important to have RECOVERY DAY(s)! With each and every day that passes, your body & body cells are breaking down. You can either “accelerate” the breakdown - by neglecting to replenish the body needs, & only rely on your “youth” and it’s ability for cellular regeneration - OR, you can “decelerate” the breakdown by allowing for evidenced-based advance therapies to allow for PERK performance & SLOWER cellular aging of the body.

What Is A Food Sensitivity Test? If you want to know what might be causing symptoms such as IBS, headaches, bloating or tiredness, then a food sensitivity test could help! Food intolerances can develop at any time, food sensitivity, and food intolerance testing is looking for any food-specific IgG reactions in the body. IgG is an antibody called Immunoglobulin G. It’s a little bit Different From Food Allergy Testing, which searches for a different antibody response that causes an allergic reaction. Our food sensitivity tests check to see how your immune system reacts to different food groups, looking for those IgG reactions. Every test is different but with YorkTest, IgG reactions are analyzed to over 200 food and drink ingredients. With this data, you might be surprised to learn which foods trigger your immune system’s response – while groups such as dairy and wheat are commonly known, the foods you react to could be fruit, fish, or even that herb that you can’t resist adding to every dish. Once you’ve taken a food sensitivity test, you’ll be able to understand which types of food cause your body to have an adverse immune response, triggering uncomfortable symptoms such as nausea or gas.
