food and liquid container on the shelf . Yes , seriously , it ’ s everywhere , for decades ; these hard plastics were leaching chemical estrogens from their packaging into our liquids and foods .
I would also like to touch on Phytoestrogens , these are estrogens from plant materials , there is a ton of confusion and many misconceptions with these plant-based hormone influences commonly used as a protein source in plant based diets ( vegan , vegetarian ). The majority of Vegan Protein “ meat replacements ” are made of oxidized vegetable oils and soy proteins , we now know that oxidized oils combined with refined processed sugars are responsible for the majority atherogenic cholesterol imbalances as well as obesity . Plant estrogens , even in small amounts , block the estrogen receptors , ( this includes some but not all soy products ) such as organic responsibly produced tofu . However , consuming soy ( phytoestrogens ), especially refined and processed soy as your main source of protein will block the estrogen receptors which will ultimately and inevitably turn your body into one which is highly estrogenic .
I know right ?! This information can seem overwhelming ; the circumstances around us are fast increasing and gaining momentum . What we have in front of us , is a world at a tipping point ! Friends , I strongly believe we have our work cut out for us ! In this writer ’ s humble opinion , now on my 18th and moving into my 19th year as a Nutritionist and Fitness Consultant , I believe it is a battle hard fought , yet certainly one we are capable of achieving victory . First and foremost , cut out junk , processed foods , we have zero need for them and there is absolutely no nutritional or essential place for these processed food products in our lives . We are what we eat , what we eat and how we live our lives directly influences those around us , especially the young ones who are dependent upon us to guide them into a healthy , happy future .
Continue to educate yourselves , become living examples for those around you and pursue this one life with consistent , dedicated effort ruled by a passion to be the very best version of yourself , become the beacon of hope , the beam of light out there , in this dark and sometimes scary world , for the younger generation who need it the most . The unknown …. The unknown for most is a scary place . There is prolific influence to overcome , taught to us since birth . To fear the unknown , not to face it , to rather rise to the challenge and learn the skills needed
to stay consistent and diligent in our courageous approach to life . We know this , we love this life and we must ! I believe wholeheartedly it is our responsibility to influence change . “ Be the change you wish to see in the world ”. So let ’ s do it ! Let ’ s do all we can to unify against this destructive slippery slope , this estrogen crisis consuming our world , people and cultures .
Here ’ s to all of us , to legitimate fitness health and wellbeing . I applaud you all , for living and being the examples for all those in your life ! My mission is to change as many lives for the better as I am capable of ! Through coaching , education , guidance and accountability , one person at a time we can truly change the world !
