But welcome, too, to the Age of Politicized Science and the Age of Estrogenics. What a mess! It has become clear that our current system needs an overhaul or we will no longer even outlast the lifespans of our predecessors. MTHF (aka B9 aka Methyl Folate) : If all you need is the 5-MTHF, it's far cheaper than a full B-Complex, especially this high quality product from Jarrow, LINK . Mono-Species: Schiff, Digestive Advantage 100x Probiotic [“BC30 Bacillus coaguland GBI-30” is the strain and these have been shown to improve protein absorption and utilization ( ref)], LINK

Mono-Species: Life Extension, Bifido Gi Balance [ Bifidobacterium longum is another probiotic to try if you have histamine issues and a high number of food sensitivities ( ref)] LINK Manson JE, Aragaki AK, Rossouw JE, et al. Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Long-Term All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality. JAMA. September 12, 2017. But Dr. Jay does seem to know a lot and I respect that. Despite that, I'm still going to do more research to understand this topic and contextualize his writing. Given what I know about estrogen thus far, I am fascinated to hear more about his topic. I have some questions about his commentary on testosterone, I found this least compelling but I know very little about testosterone. NusaPure, Licorice Extract, DGL (DGL means "DegGLycyrrhizinated" which is another way of saying the licorice sugars have been removed to prevent blood pressure issues.

I'm not a fan of casein because A1 beta-casein causes gut inflammation, despite what the industry tells us ( ref), but this version of casein seems to be beneficial in clinical trials ( ref), LINKI already knew some things from this book, I just wasn't aware of the scale of how big the problem of estrogenics really is. I'm trying to be more conscious now in my selection of goods at the store. If you are a professional athlete or military operative, on the other hand, you may want to be zealous about avoiding estrogenics. Many athletes and operatives are already benefiting from this meticulous Gold Level estrogenic avoidance approach and it’s a winning approach. Many of your competition will overlook artificial estrogen avoidance so Gold Level avoidance will give you a huge competitive advantage if this describes you. Fat being the largest organ is contrary to what most people think. For example, here is a scene from the TV show, The Office: A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. For a second dairy-free option, I also like Natural Force "Organic Bone Broth" protein (especially if you have histamine issues and collagen elevates those issues). I especially like the chocolate flavor, LINK
