The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Pregnenolone is this precursor.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Look at this, D-H-E-A, also low in her.

Progesterone, what kind of sleep can you expect to have when your progesterone is like this?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So it's literally like an evil wizard.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

I mean, it takes your libido away, makes your skin less elastic, throws your menstrual cycle off, throws your mood and emotional state off, and throws your sleep into the toilet because the progesterone is also off.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Now, progesterone is gonna become two other hormones.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It's not important.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

I don't wanna get too deep into the hormone therapy here, but you see if this is in the postmenopausal range, so are its sub-constituents.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Then we look at what DHEA becomes.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Well, DHEA comes over and helps to mix the android hormones that are precursors for testosterone.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This has not yet fallen.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It also makes testosterone, which becomes free testosterone.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So if we look at this cascade of events,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Her E1, which is a relatively weak estrogen, is floored out.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

The most powerful estrogen in the body has become post-menopausal.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This actually increases in post-menopause.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Her most powerful estrogen hormone is floored out, and even her E3 is off.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So all of these hormones are floored out.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It is no wonder you feel the way you do.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This is why I love this test, because it gives your doctor a chance to actually replace all of these hormones.
