Poor nutritional status as a cause of gynaecological problems

Wobbly sex hormones are a major cause of many symptoms. Sex hormones allow women to have babies. To make healthy babies, the nutrition has to be perfect. If the nutrition is less than perfect, there will be a degree of infertility. Nature makes this happen initially through wobbly hormone levels then, perhaps by such low levels, nothing (baby-wise) is possible.

The most obvious example of poor nutritional status is dieting. Research shows that a 1,000 calorie a day diet for six weeks will cause oestrogen levels to fall to below 25% of normal levels and progesterone to below 15% of normal levels.

"Menstrual cycles constitute the most accessible and non-invasive biological markers of female reproductive function in humans" (US National Research Council 1989).

Hormone levels will wobble from day to day depending on how much food is eaten and the quality of that food. Irregular and poor eating habits are the largest cause of hormone wobbles and the problems that go with it.

Nutritional problemsNot enough calories: with the modern day fashion for slimness and the lack of exercise women are not eating enough calories.Poor quality food: the food which is eaten is often junk ie nutritionally devoid of goodies.Toxins in the diet: too much caffeine, alcohol, nicotine all interfere with hormone production. Some drugs such as tranquillisers an analgesics disturb hormone levels.Toxins in the environment: many pesticides, plasticises and novel foods contain hormone mimics which further disturb normal function.

As a result of the above factors, nutritional deficiencies are very common, wobbly hormone levels are common and the symptoms which go with them are common. The trouble is sloppy industrial medicine treats these problems by imposing a hormone cycle on women through the Pill and HRT. Although there may be relief from some symptoms, the underlying problem is not addressed storing up terrible problems for the future: problems like arterial disease; cancer; infertility; mental disorders; and early menopause.
