Breast Cancer Boot Camp's Estrogen Free® Diet Cheat Sheet

➤  Eggs are a perfect food, especially the yolk, which contains healthy cholesterol a precursor to make our natural hormones. Avoid eggs and chickens fed flax, soy and corn. Avoid eggs with “omega 3” on the carton; the source is usually flax.

​

➤  Nutrient dense organic meat, grass-fed beef, lamb, wild game, venison and fowl. Also, grass fed beef bone broth.

​

➤  Eat  organic vegetables and fruits, preferably from the framers’ market. Eat a rainbow or a large variety of colors for optimum health..

​

➤  Raw and organic dairy products. Real dairy does NOT contain estrogen because cows don’t produce estrogen when they are nursing. Enjoy this nutrient dense food if you can. Organic butter or raw butter. Cook with butter for healthy cholesterol.

➤  Worried about adrenal exhaustion? Salt revives the adrenals. Normal table salt with iodine is beneficial for the adrenals and does not cause hypertension (this medical rumor is explained in depth in book). Sea salt may contain micro-plastics.

➤  Worried about methylation? Egg yolks, meat, liver, and oily fish are the main dietary sources of vitamin B12, which is required for proper methylation. 

➤  Worried about inflammation? Eat blueberries, wild salmon (EPA-omega 3), eggs, bone broth, coconut oil, olive oil, yogurt, peppers, ginger, beets, broccoli, raw honey and dark chocolate.

 My patients range from vegans to carnivores, but the key to hormone heath is removing estrogen from any nutritional diet, regardless of dietary preference. 

➤  Want healthy organs? Ancestral diets have always included organ meats to deter deterioration of the organs. Detoxing does not address deterioration of the organs. Therefore, eat the organs, which are the most nutrient dense food available. Want optimum methylation? Eat the liver for a healthy liver. Eat liver or pate once a week. If you don’t like pate, there are organic organ pills now available.

​

➤  Vegetables don't contain Vitamin A, D3 or DHA. Most people are surprised to learn vegetables don’t contain vitamin A, just the precursor. Liver has the highest source of vitamin A. Three ounces of organic beef liver equals 4.5 pounds of carrots. 

➤  Vitamin A is vital for cell growth, the immune system, vision and necessary for the assimilation of minerals. DHA is a requirement for brain health, especially before the age of two. Cod liver oil is the highest, then egg yolks and fish. ALA  is not an acceptable form of DHA, as it is not bioavailable and algae DHA levels are too low.

➤   Also, mushrooms are the only plant source of vitamin D and to receive the daily required amount is 1 cup. However, mushrooms produce vitamin D2, whereas animals produce vitamin D3. Though vitamin D2 helps raise blood levels of vitamin D, it may not be as effective as vitamin D3.  

➤  Avoid sugar, limit grains, and carbohydrates (form of sugar). When not utilized by the body, they cause inflammation. Inflammation creates insulin resistance (diabetes), heart disease (nope, it's not from cholesterol) and cancer. 

➤  Think about what carbohydrates or grains such as pasta, oatmeal, bread, and rice look like when cooked—soggy. That is what they do in your gut—they create a swamp that stops the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

➤  Eat clean whole foods that move effortlessly through the intestines. Grains, even organic, are carbohydrates that turn into sugar, and remember, cancer feeds off sugar.

➤  Grains are hard on the intestines. The lectins in grains are mildly toxic, inflammatory, resistant to digestive enzymes and they have the ability to sneak out of the intestines. They have actually been found in the organs. Phytates in grains block the absorption of minerals. 

➤  Don't worry! All the same nutrients in grains are found in meat, veggies, fruits and nuts and are more bio-available (easily absorbed into the system) than those found in grain. Many people are sensitive to gluten; this is just another sign that the public doesn't need grains. They keep people sick, fat and at risk for many diseases.
