We don't have to take pills or ingest certain foods to increase hormones. The hormones increase and decrease by how we behave and are treated. For men and women to feel well they don't need the hormones to be on a certain level, but in the right balance. Both sexes needs both estrogen and testesterone, but men need ten times more testesteron than women. Estrogen lowers testesteron, testesterone lowers estrogen and progesteron.
When a woman gives without expecting anything back, when she gives because she feels she already has received something and gives out of abundance, progesteron will increase. If a person gives to get something back, testesteron will increase. That is ok for men to do, but because it lowers estrogen it is not good for her. Estrogen increases when she receives because of her good qualities instead of what she has done.
Many women are estrogen dominant, but it's not because they have too much estrogen, but because they have too little progesteron. The reason for this is that they have too much testesteron that inhibits progesteron. The solution to balance out these hormones is to lower testesteron and increase estrogen and progesteron. The way to do that is first to receive without doing something to get it (estrogen) and then give without wanting something in return (progesteron). That means also to give to oneself! PMS is symptoms of low estrogen and too much testesteron. At work in a male dominant environment women give to get which increases testesterone and is unnatural for them and get their hormones out of balance.
The more she feels alone, unsupported, disrespected and unsatisfied the higher the testesteron level. The solution is to ask for support from people, receive signs of being loved, respected and appreciated for who she is, to pray to receive what she needs, to feel united, dependant and supported, to feel supported when being vulnerable, to talk and express her feelings, to do mindfulness meditation, do yoga which releases tension/emotions, explore problems, to appreciate the little things, to feel taken care of, listened to, understood and nurtured, to receive hugs and compliments on her beauty, acupuncture, massage and lessons will all increase estrogen. It is especially important to bump up the estrogen the days before ovulation. After the ovulation she needs progesteron-increasing activities; To give selflessly to others and do things she likes for herself. Basically, in the first part of her cycle she needs to receive love and in the second part she needs to give the love she has received to others and herself.
Estrogens effect on emotions is due to its ability to increase seretonin and endorphins. Estrogen has an excitatory effect on the brain, progesteron has a calming effect.
When men gets angry it is not because they have too much testesterone, but because they have too much estrogen. Ways men increase estrogen and lowers testesteron is by drinking beer, using weed, amphetamine, morphine, heroin and cocain, by ejaculating and talking about problems and emotions. They may also lose testesterone when they surround themselves with masculine women. Signs of too little testesterone is depression, insecurity, anger, anxiety and inactivity. Men can increase testesteron by doing things they feel they are good at, lift heavy weights, sexual stimulation, to feel free and have alone-time, to feel successfull and like a winner, to see their football team win, to feel needed, by getting approval and appreciation for what they do, accepted the way they are, admired, trusted, encouraged and by helping, supporting and listen to people.
Oxytocin will make people feel a sense of well-being, safety, trust and relaxation. It is the bonding hormone that can be released by walking in a forest, by petting a pet, caring for children (as long as you are not overworked), receiving a massage, by being sucked at the nipples, by cuddling, by having sex, hot showers, meditation, yoga, eye-gazing, day-dreaming, enjoying music and by showing love to others.
By the way, sex is the best way to balance both female and male hormones! Just the thought of it increases both estrogen in women and testesteron in men. If a woman is expecting sex after work she will become less stressed at work. By the time of ovulation her estrogen level is doubled.
