Hormones Made Simple (Part 2)
By Dr. Eric Berg DC
Gonads
•Make hormones that
create female
characteristics.
•Controls menstrual cycle
•Makes eggs
•Controls fertility
•Creates testosterone that gives
male characteristics.
•Produces sperm
•Libido
•Bone and muscle influences
•Vitality
Estrogen Dominance
Cycle
High & Low Estrogen
Estrogen Therapy Side Effects
• Stroke (blood clots)
• Cancer (women who took estrogen are 4-7x more likely to
develop cancer)
• Tumors
• Decrease Testosterone
Estrogen – Thyroid Connection
Thyroid Hormones
• Run on Iodine and selenium. The later mineral
is involved in the conversion of T4 to T3.
• Iodine – sea kelp, sea food, cranberries, navy
beans, potatoes, and strawberries.
• Selenium – Brazil nuts, oysters, tuna, sardines,
eggs, spinach and sea kelp.
• Hypothyroidism causes hypogonads (low
testosterone and low estrogen and progesterone)
Estrogen – Breast Tissue
Menopause
Insulin - Androgen Connection
• High levels of insulin increases ANDROGENS
(interestingly…the ovaries have receptors for insulin).
• Too much insulin (Insulin Resistance) IS the SOLE cause
of PCOS.

GMO
What is GMO?
• A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the
result of a laboratory process where genes
from the DNA of one species are extracted
and artificially forced into the genes of an
unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes
may come from bacteria, viruses, insects,
animals or even humans.
Glyphosate
• The herbicide glyphosate is the most widely
used herbicide globally, with a production of
620,000 tons in 2008. The world soybean
production in 2011 was 251.5 million Metric
tons, with the United States (33%), Brazil
(29%), Argentina (19%), China (5%) and India
(4%) as the main producing countries.
The study found that rats fed for two years
with Monsanto’s glyphosate-resistant
NK603 maize (corn) developed many more
tumors and died earlier than controls

Monsanto Protection Act
• The "Monsanto Protection Act" effectively
bars federal courts from being able to halt the
sale or planting of controversial genetically
modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered
(GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may
arise concerning GMOs in the future.
Iodine – Hormone Connection
•
•
•
•
•
Iodine decreases estrogen dominance!
Iodine decreases insulin
Iodine increases testosterone
Iodine decrease risk for cancer (female organs and prostate).
Iodine supports the thyroid, ovary, breast and
uterus.
• US consumes 50% of what it did in the 70s.
• Decreases tumors, cysts on ovaries and
fibrocystic breast. (Mercks Manual 1899 – iodine was the
most popular treatment for tumors)
Iodine Deficiency
Low Thyroid = Low Testosterone
Low Iodine = Low Testosterone
High Estrogen = Low Testosterone
