What causes insulin resistance, mood disorders, osteoporosis, insomnia, infertility, PCOS, uterine fibroids, allergies, autoimmune diseases, acne, brain fog, weight gain, cold hands and feet, low libido, gall bladder problems, sweet cravings, and breast, cervical, ovarian and uterine cancer?
The answer to that very long question is estrogen dominance, or hormone imbalance.
Estrogen dominance is a condition in which a woman has excessive levels of estrogen and too little progesterone to balance it. This is a condition common to menopausal women and cycling women alike.

You might have heard of insulin resistance. This is when your cells won’t allow the pancreatic hormone insulin into the cell to metabolize your sugar intake into energy. When you are insulin resistant, you store your sugar as fat rather than using it properly for energy.
Freshly made salsa is so delightful–it is a perfect compliment to eggs, meats, beans, you name it. And it is one of those condiments that makes nearly everyone happy, whether they’re following Paleo Diet principles, GAPS dietary prescriptions or raw food ideals. Or, maybe someone just doesn’t bother too much with concern for their nutrition…fresh salsa works for this group, too (and it is a great way to get some fantastic nutrition into them, with a smile on their face!)
