Quick reminder we have the OPTIMAL PREGNANCY TRIO now live.
Remember only 5-10% of the general public are getting enough CHOLINE asit is only found in significant amounts in eggs and liver.
Are you eating 6 eggs daily or x2 big pieces of liver a week?
Not enough choline = not enough ACETYLCHOLINE, which in the peripheral nervous system is the chief neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for slowing heart rate, reducing cardiac contractility, dilating blood vessels, and increasing glandular secretions.
In the CNS acetylcholine modulates attention, learning, memory, arousal, motor control, and sleep—acting as a critical regulator of higher brain functions
I am loving some more focus and attention with deep work, taking x2 CHOLINE before I start.
We have talked about the concepts of treatment stacking before.
This isn’t anything you’re not familiar with, you do it naturally in clinic every day.
You give adjustments, soft tissue work, exercises, lifestyle advice and much more all at the same time.
When it comes to research, however, they typically like to isolate one thing and use that alone as an intervention.
This is because the research world is dominated by pharmaceuticals and you can change one thing and achieve a statistically significant outcome.
That is because drugs by their nature are able to significantly suppress a symptom or a system on their own.
However, when you are looking to improve health, you are trying to facilitate pathways and the natural mechanisms of the body, not suppress per.
So I was pleased to recently see a pragmatic study where the authors compared the use of an oral progesterone for endometriosis alone versus oral progesterone with turmeric as a treatment for endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a chronic oestrogen dependent inflammatory conditionaffecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age.
Also common is progesterone resistance and/or lower levels of progesterone especially relative to oestrogen.
Hence the authors use of an oral progesterone, dienogest specifically.
But as it is INFLAMMATORY, they added on some nano-tuermic.
Eighty-six women aged 18–45 with stage 2–3 pelvic endometriosis and moderate to severe pain (visual analogue scale (VAS) ≥ 4) were randomly assigned to get either progesterone alone or progesterone and turmeric over an eight week period.
Below are the results, with the before and after COMBINED PROGESTERONE and CURCUMIN in yellow then green, and the PROGESTERONE only group blue then orange.
Note both groups did very well, but the combined group did really well, significantly better than the other group.
Significant, as in, clinically noticeable, those figures will be meaningful to the patient.
As an example, dysmenorrhea dropped 68% in the combined group vs 46% in the progesterone only group.
FSFI = Female Sexual Function Index was:
42% better combined approach, vs 20% single
QOL = Quality of Life was 52 % vs 30%
And remember we use a two pronged attack on inflammation by combining PHYTOSOMAL CURCUMIN AND BOSWELLIA.
And as we have said before, GLUTEN and endometriosis are not happy bed-fellows.

Imagine combing a gluten free trial, plus TURMERIC PLUS and some help removing excess estrogen…..🤯
Remember we remove estrogen via several pathways:
Simplified diagram !!
Methylation – try METHYL B HERO
Glucuronidation – try Calcium D glucurate
Sulphation – try epsom salt baths (mag sulphate) and also will be helped with the B6 in METHYL B HERO.
Glutathione – also partly increased with B6 as per above and GLYCINE from collagen, and ideally EVOLVED COLLAGEN, or use a liposomal glutathione.
DIM – Helps shift the forms of Oestrogen to the better, less potent ones.
