Natural support for IVF and estrogen balance
Q.How can I naturally balance my estrogen levels? My ivf cycles were canceled due to high estrogen.

A.
One thing I have found helpful to help bring female hormones back into balance is weekly acupuncture. It takes a while, but I have found it has been helpful for me and many other women. It is also helpful to preserve the quality of your eggs. The important thing is to find an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility in your area in which you live.

A supplement I can recommend to help balance excess estrogen is Bio-Isoflavone. This is actually a phytoestrogen, which can block the cell receptors from accepting estrogens in the body's organ systems. When the estrogens do not bind to the receptors, then the body filtration system can work on removing the excess estrogens and lower the level in the blood. I would recommend 1 capsule a day, between the day after you finish your menstrual cycle and continue until the first day of your cycle then rest until your cycle ends. If you get this supplement in the middle of your cycle, then go ahead and start taking it until you get your period, then rest.

DIM Avail by DFH is another product I would recommend taking as well. DIM supplementation improves the estrogen ratio in a favorable direction that protects both men and women without the negative effect of raising 4 hydroxyestrogen. It stimulates more efficient use of estrogen by increasing the metabolism of estradiol.

In order to make sure your body can remove the excess estrogens, it is important to keep the liver and intestinal tract healthy. Remove coffee and alcohol from your diet (if you consume them, drink green tea instead), and focus on nutrients to support the liver and probiotics for the intestines. Here are two products I would recommend: HLC Intensive caps by Pharmax

- HLC Intensive Probiotic
1 cap a day, unless you have any intestinal issues, then you could do
2-3 caps a day.

- Amino Detox
3 caps between meals, twice a day. This will help your liver work better to remove excess estrogens. If your liver is fairly toxic from poor diet, alcohol, medications, and hormones, it may be helpful to do our full 3-Step Detox Program

Diet is important to eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables (organic broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, etc.), to help with estrogen balance and healthy fats also are important.

I would recommend this blend of oils to help you with your healthy fatty
acid balance: OmegAvail Synergy TG.
Take 2 caps twice daily, usually best taken with meals or before bed. Try to eat cold-water fish 1-2 times a week, and use coconut oil,avocados,olive oils, nuts and seeds for their healthy fats, in addition to the supplement I just recommended.
