hormonal imbalance – coMra therapy

Everything in life and in our body is interconnected, there is nothing that is completely physical or solely emotional, or just mental, or only spiritual, they are all connected. When you experience panic attacks or severe anxiety, or obsessive thoughts, or mood swings, etc. you need to look at your being as a whole, as these are not only emotional, mental, or physical. How do panic attacks occur? The reason is complex - it could be an unresolved situation, some irrational fears or it could be a hormonal imbalance. Same with anxiety - you will see that most of the stress related diseases and conditions are happening as a result of high stress and anxiety is one of the symptoms.

What If It is Hormonal Imbalance?

A lot of people are searching for psychological help and very often they start taking antidepressants as a way to soothe panic attacks or anxiety attacks. However, there are stories of women who would go for years on medications not knowing that the body is experiencing hormonal imbalance which is affecting the mind and the emotions. The hormonal balance in women changes with age - the estrogen gets higher or lower, the thyroid hormones are going down, the stress hormones are going up. And it is not only about age, during different periods or phases in your life, the hormonal balance in your body will change responding to the change that is outside, for example, pregnancy, marriage, loss of a parent, changing jobs, etc.

How then a hormonal imbalance would affect your mental and emotional state? All the hormones in the female body are interconnected - the thyroid hormones are low and the estrogen is going up, the prolactin levels are high and the stress hormones are going up too, the estrogen is high and the stress hormones are going up too. Which is the first to get out of order is hard to say as they all influence the other.

Thyroid Issues, Panic Attacks and Obsessions

Do you know that if you suddenly start experiencing panic attacks, it could be a sign that your thyroid gland is not functioning properly? As it is mentioned above when the thyroid is in hypofunction, the estrogen and stress hormones are also going up. It could also be the opposite, the low cortisol will also affect the thyroid gland. Obsessive thoughts, emotional breakdown, severe anxiety, etc, they all can occur if your thyroid is not functioning the way it should be. So, if you experience some of these, check your thyroid hormones as one in four women worldwide is having a thyroid issue nowadays.

Estrogen Dominance, Anxiety, Insomnia and Mood Swings

When the estrogen if too high, the thyroid hormones would not be optimal, the stress hormones would be too high or too low (like very low cortisol) and you might experience also mood swings, hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, increased irritability, sudden anger or sadness, obsessive thoughts, fears, migraines, etc. This is a pretty impressive list and that is only a part of it. Due to the spread of plastic usage in our society, to the chemicals in food and cosmetics, many women are going through an estrogen dominance phase in their life without even knowing it. And most of them are looking for psychological help only when they would need to take steps to increase the progesterone, to lower the prolactin and to get rid of this excess estrogen from the liver and the fat tissue.

Adrenal Fatigue, Burnout, Panic Attacks, Anxiety and Chronic Fatigue

When there is a continuous stress in your life, the adrenal glands are trying to cope with it and produce a lot of the stress hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline. At one point, these little glands would get overwhelmed and mild adrenal fatigue would occur coming with symptoms like inability to fall asleep or sleeping too much, chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety and panic attacks. The severe adrenal fatigue is called burnout when the adrenals are just not functioning. As it was mentioned above, the higher the stress hormones are, the lower are the thyroid hormones, the higher are prolactin and estrogen. The stress response is the root of all that and you might need a psychologist to help you with your stress response and patterns, or you can try yoga, meditation or mountain bike, but after all you need to take of everything that is a part of your being, as it is all interconnected.

Everyone wants to have strong and healthy hair but there is more to it. The health of your hair is showing if there is an issue in your body as it reacts to every change of the inner balance. Hormonal problems, digestive issues, stress and emotional imbalances will affect your hair and will change the appearance, the thickness and the scalp of the head. That is why it is very important to observe the condition of the hair and to know how to support its health from the inside out, not relying so much on hair products for external use.

Why are we losing hair?

The main thing about hair is that it is not crucial for the survival of the body, so there would be no priority to it if the major organs like the heart or the lungs need support or healing. There is a limited energy in the body and it has to be organized in such a way that it covers all its needs to maintain life. When there is constant stress or a chronic disease, for example, most of the energy resources of the body are spent on dealing with the consequences of the health condition.

Which means that if you are experiencing stress, your body will have to give priority to some functions and put others on hold. Hair growth is one of the things that is affected by stress shortly after the situation itself as all the energy is redirected to the more important organs and systems. If you experience a long term stress, then the reproductive hormones would be affected too as in times of stress and malnutrition, the reproduction is put on hold.

There are certain hormones which are linked to the health of the hair. High levels of prolactin will induce hair loss, and high levels of estrogen will cause the prolactin to increase. Low thyroid function can also result in hair loss and bad hair health like dryness and breakage. And the low thyroid hormone production is usually going together with high estrogen.

How to Improve Your Hair Health and to Avoid Hair Loss?

You will need to restore the hormonal balance in your body, change your diet, maybe even take some supplements like zinc and vitamins B. It is highly recommended to include cold laser therapy as a complementary treatment or to use it as a main healing strategy. The laser will provide an additional energy source to your body which can be used for healing and regeneration. Here are some of the things which you can do in order to support your hair from the inside out.

1.Manage your stress

The stress hormones like cortisol, adrenaline, etc., are a priority for your body as they are produced to help you get out of the stressful situation. Or that is how it used to be. Nowadays, research shows that an average woman experiences 50 to 100 stress reactions in a single day and that is affecting her hormonal balance. It is well known that hair reacts very quickly to excessive stress and the next morning you wake up with dry, breaking and falling hair, or you find new white hairs. Stress is affecting the blood vessels of the scalp and they literally shrink which causes falling hair and dryness. How to manage your stress? First of all, work on your perception and observe your reaction to the stressful situation. Then you will need to cut off stimulants like caffeine and calm down your nervous system. Cold lasers are a great non-invasive option to medications and can be used to support both your nervous system and the major organs in your body.

2.Support your reproductive and thyroid hormones production

Falling hair is linked to low thyroid hormones, high prolactin and estrogen, low progesterone and high levels of cortisol. So, it is very often a sign for a hormonal imbalance that is unaddressed. Restoring the hormonal balance will take time as it is a very complicated inner system of chemicals and connections. If you feel that your body has its own intelligence and that it knows how to stay healthy, the best way is to support its own healing. That is why you need to be very careful with hormone replacement therapies of any kind as you can hardly manage all these processes. That is why cold laser therapies like coMra are more and more recommended, they provide the missing energy for the body to heal itself. You can start with Universal treatment protocol 5 which is good for the nervous system too, then apply the Hypothyroidism treatment protocol if needed.

3.Maintain healthy blood sugar levels

Whenever you eat something, your blood sugar levels will rise but if you eat a great amount of sugar all at once, your blood sugar will rise so quickly that it will need an insulin spike too in order to fix it. These insulin spikes are very dangerous, especially if you suffer from hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, etc. The glucose levels in your blood are connected to the stress hormones, the health of the liver and the pancreas, your blood pressure ...you name it - they affect the whole body as glucose is the fuel for the cell and its metabolism is crucial. Including more fruits in your diet will help you minimize the quantity of refined sugar.

4.Support your liver

An organ responsible for so many things in your body, your liver deserves special attention. The health of your hair also depends on its work as if all these toxins remain unprocessed, it will show. How to support your liver? Eat enough quality protein as that will help the elimination of the excessive estrogen from the body, consume alcohol moderately or avoid it, limit the amount of refined sugar in your diet, work with your emotions. Yes, the liver is affected by emotions like fear and anger, so containing your emotions will support its function as good as cutting off all the processed foods. Use coMra cold lasers directly on the liver on 5Hz for ten to twenty minutes every evening, before going to bed, for two weeks. This will improve your metabolism and can help with weight loss if the glucose is not stored in the body in the form of fat cells. Add more vitamins B to your diet or take them as supplements and eat raw carrots daily to support estrogen elimination.

5.Improve your gut health

A major part of digestion is happening in the gut and if there is a problem it will affect the whole body. If you experience gut problems for some time, your hair will be dry, dull and thinning. Have you heard of the gut brain? Yes, there are nerve cells in your gut and any issue there will show in your emotions and energy levels. This is the link to the stress reactions, poor gut health might even cause anxiety or depression. Depending on your condition, check the available treatment protocols in the coMra User Guide as cold laser therapy is highly effective when treating digestive issues. Combine the treatments with a change in your diet according to your personal food intolerances. Some people feel better when they limit the consumption of gluten, others have to stay away from all the dairy products.

The liver is a large organ under your ribs responsible for the food digestion and to get rid of all the toxins in the body. It plays a great role in the hormonal balance too while that is the place where the excessive estrogen is removed from the body, for example. In order to keep your liver healthy, you will need to check and change if needed your diet and lifestyle.

1. Choose your food carefully

While the liver is one of the organs participating actively in the digestion process, you need a balanced diet in order to support it. The fiber in the fruits, vegetables and grains is important for digestion and will decrease the load on your liver. Avoid over-eating and high calories meals, too much refined carbohydrates and trans fat (deep-fried foods, margarine, etc.). Be careful when eating raw fish or shellfish, they may contain parasites which will attack the liver or other organs. Keep well-hydrated with pure water as if your body is dehydrated, it will be hard for the toxins to be eliminated from the blood or the lymph.

2. Maintain a healthy weight

It is quite important to maintain a healthy weight if you want your liver to be healthy as obesity is the main cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver. If the person is overweight, the body is storing fats basically everywhere and if the liver becomes fatty, its functioning is highly compromised which may lead to a vicious circle - the more toxins produced, the more the liver is not able to eliminate them.

3. Limit your sugar and alcohol intake

Excess alcohol consumption is also a very common cause of liver disease or a fatty liver. Diabetes Type 2 is also linked to liver issues. The main thing is that if there is a greater amount of sugars (alcohol, refined white sugar, sweets, deserts) in your meal, it is not possible to use all of them as fuel, so they are turned into fat and stored in the body for a later need of energy. However, if you eat a lot of sugar or drink too much alcohol on a daily basis, there is no such need for fuel. On the contrary, intermittent fasting or one day water fasting weekly are very beneficial for the health of the liver.

4. Avoid household and cosmetics toxins

When you are in contact with aggressive chemicals like the ones in the household cleaning products, always wear gloves and avoid inhaling the harmful gases. Be careful with aerosols and sprays. Cosmetics also have a huge impact on the liver, especially in women while they tend to use up to five times more products than men. All the toxins and unknown substances have to pass through the liver in order to be taken out of the body.

5. Use medications and supplements wisely

Some medications can have negative side effects on the liver, especially if you mix several different types. So, always check the potentially harmful combinations. Taking too many supplements can also be a bit heavy for the liver mainly because of all the additives, substances which are in the capsule or tablet just to fill it in and to make it the right size for swallowing. For example, if you want to take some kind of a mineral and you need only 50mg from it in one capsule, the rest of it is made by these additives. Not to mention what is going on in your liver if you take a handful of medications and supplements, all the unknown and potentially harmful substances have to be eliminated from your body by the liver and the kidneys. Choose less aggressive ways to treat and heal yourself like non-invasive coMra cold laser therapy, massage therapy, meditation, exercising, etc.

6. Exercise regularly and manage your stress levels

When you exercise, walk or practice any kind of training, the blood and the lymph are moving faster in your body, supporting the elimination process. More oxygen means fresh and healthy blood entering your organs and helping the detoxification. On the other hand, when you exercise the glucose in the blood is regulated more effectively. All of that will help your liver and will speed up the cleansing of the body from toxins and metabolic waste materials. Managing stress and emotional imbalances is also a very important part of any healing process. When the liver is suffering, it is a sign of suppressed anger or fear, or any unprocessed stressful situations in your life which are causing emotional crisis on a very deep level.

7. Maintain good personal hygiene

Since, the liver is the organ which is guarding the body from harmful substances, it is crucial to maintain a very good personal hygiene - always washing your hands thoroughly when needed, never sharing personal items like a toothbrush with another person, not touching dirty surfaces, etc. Using disinfectant on your hands twenty times per day is the other side of the coin as it contains aggressive chemicals which are there to fight the germs but still they are entering your bloodstream through the skin. Maintaining a proper balance in everything is a good strategy for a healthy liver after all.

WHAT IS coMra, HOW AND WHY IT WORKS?

When the thyroid, this little gland in your throat, is not working as it should, you will experience mild to severe symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, hair loss and increased heart beat. It is well known that women are more prone to develop thyroid issues especially after a certain age or after a pregnancy. The most common problem with conventional approaches to thyroid hypofunction is that doctors are prescribing a synthetic hormone that you need to take for the rest of your life. Fortunately, there is another effective treatment which you probably didn’t know about.

What causes thyroid hypofunction?

This is an interesting question while the condition is quite complex and the cause combines several factors. First of all, stress. All the hormonal imbalances are linked to stress as the body produces too much cortisol which is called the “stress hormone”. The thing is that your body will prioritize the cortisol production in order to help you get out of a dangerous situation. However, when you are constantly distressed, the danger is not real but your body produces more and more cortisol, cutting off the production of other hormones - reproductive and thyroid hormone production is disrupted. With time, stress may lead also to a prediabetic condition while the insulin levels are also affected.

Thyroid hypofunction is linked to estrogen dominance

Most of the women with thyroid hypofunction also have estrogen dominance and insulin resistance. The high levels of estrogen cause progesterone deficiency and disrupts the function of the thyroid too. Estrogen is a hormone that is produced in the body but also it enters the system from the outside in the form of phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens. All the pollution, household chemicals and plastic usage causes estrogen dominance while the liver is not able to eliminate the excessive amount of estrogen fast enough. From the high levels of estrogen is the weight gain as with thyroid hypofunction slows down the metabolism.

The effective treatment of thyroid hypofunction you didn’t know about

You can surely change your diet and your daily routine to support the thyroid, but to heal the condition you will need additional help. The treatment that shows very good results with thyroid hypofunction or hyperfunction, with reproductive hormones imbalance, insulin resistance, diabetes and many more is a low level laser therapy. This cold laser is very gentle but highly effective. There are many studies showing how light can actually support the healing process.

The cold laser therapies like coMra will gently stimulate the regeneration of the cells providing them with the additional energy they need. In the coMra User Guide you will find the detailed treatment protocol with the points and time spent on each one. It will take several minutes per day and soon you will see improvement in your symptoms. The body will heal the gland and will reduce all the inflammatory processes once it has all the energy needed.

Support your liver in order to balance your hormones

Now, if the liver is the organ which should eliminate the excessive estrogen from the body and also has a major part in the metabolism of the sugars, you need to support it if your thyroid is not working properly. The liver is overloaded with all kinds of toxins and waste metabolic materials especially if you eat processed food as the quality of the food in the supermarket is getting worse each day. All these preservatives, colors and trans fats will slow down the liver even more. So, first you will need to eat clean and to avoid allergy triggers like gluten, lactose and sugar. Then with coMra you can support and heal your liver, actually the body will heal it once your diet is clean and you provide it with more energy in the form of infrared light coming from the cold laser. In addition to your thyroid treatment protocol, apply coMra for several minutes on the liver itself.

Is cold laser therapy safe?

The low level laser therapies are totally safe and non-invasive. With coMra, you will receive even more as the device consists of a cold laser but also magnets and light diodes. The magnetic field and the colorful lights are modulated in such a way with the laser, to provide the best possible source of energy for your cells. By increasing the vital energy, you will actually induce the healing processes in various parts of your body. The invisible intelligence your body has will run the process of regeneration while it is a system that is fully capable of recovery and restoration of health. You don’t need to micromanage your body, merely to eliminate all the things that will deplete it from its life energy and provide more sources of it.

The cold lasers are widely used in health and beauty centers and now you can have a device to use on your own. It is simple to use, small and portable. Once you start applying coMra, you will see how many ways there are to support yourself, your children, family, pets and friends. It is worth trying and a great way to reduce the intake of medications and to take the responsibility for your health back in your hands.

WHAT IS coMra, HOW AND WHY IT WORKS?

How does your mindset affect the condition of your physical body? What is the hidden cause in the mindset for this serious condition known as endometriosis? All your thoughts and emotions will result in some way on the physical level either as health or as a disease. Negative thoughts and emotions when repeated will create a pattern, a model that will be as hard as a habit. If we want to be free from old destructive patterns, we need to observe what creates them and what triggers them in the first place.

Endometriosis is a serious condition - the tissue that normally is lining the uterus is found outside of it, causing pain, infertility and abnormal tissue growth. The aggressive treatment or surgery can be avoided if the woman turns towards non-invasive therapies like the cold laser (low level laser), for example and also if she changes her lifestyle and mindset.

The uterus is the most intimate organ in the body of the woman, connected with all the feelings linked to being a woman, a wife and a mother. Many women wish to have children but it turns out that is harder than they thought. This creates lots of negative feelings in the life of the woman and she often starts questioning her womanhood and abilities to conceive and bear a healthy baby. Let us see which are the thoughts and feelings which are linked to endometriosis and endometritis (inflammation of the uterus).
The book “Health and Holism” by Théun Mares gives us a precious insight on the core of the psychological reasons behind this serious condition:

Endometriosis ( Cysts and Adhesions)

Feeling very insecure about letting go of the old in favour of the new.

Endometritis ( Inflammation of the Uterus)

Feeling bad about one’s abilities as a female, often because of being constantly invalidated by the male.

“Health and Holism in 21st Century” by Théun Mares

What we see is that endometriosis is linked to insecurity, the woman is not feeling safe enough in her life and is stuck with the old, she finds herself in a hard place where she cannot let go of the past and cannot fully embrace the new coming in her life. In life everything changes all the time and in order to grow, we need to let go of the past and let the new in. On the physical level this is manifested as the lining of the uterus is supposed to be cleansed each month with the period but it stays in the body and starts searching for new places to continue living.

On the psychological and emotional level this process can also have its roots in the inability of the woman to feel safe in her relationship with the male, she then is starting to search for alternative places to conceive ideas, visions and babies. The uterus is the house of the newborn baby, but when the tissues are going to abnormal places, it is like the woman cannot safely conceive in her own house, she feels insecure.

The inflammation of the uterus is called endometritis which is a very close condition. As we can see in the the expert from the book - this is linked to how the woman feels in her relationship with the male and inside herself. We might feel invalidated as a woman by her male and she is feeling bad about her abilities as a female. Her thoughts are full of doubt, second guessing and negative self-talk which compromises her own feeling of being a woman.

One of the ways to approach the healing process is to observe and change these destructive patterns. When you start observing your thoughts, you will have a clear idea where your negative emotions are coming from. Then you will start to see this subtle moment just before falling into the old model of reacting triggered by various things in your life. After that, you will have the awareness to change the whole chain of thoughts - emotions - reactions. Of course, you will need to act upon your new perception and change your daily life routines or even make greater changes. Embracing the new and the change itself, is vital as life is always changing and flowing. It doesn’t matter how hard it might be, we all need to learn how to let go and go with the flow of life.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a health condition common among women occurring as a result of a hormonal imbalance. Small follicles with fluid are formed around the ovaries affecting their normal functioning.If the woman is experiencing a hormonal imbalance, the ovulation does not occur and cysts are formed. It usually affects women in reproductive age and is causing high levels of androgens in the body produced by the cysts. Due to the high levels of these male hormones, the menstrual cycle of the woman is affected.

Symptoms of PCOS

The monthly periods are irregular, infrequent or prolonged. The most common symptom is the disruption of the monthly cycle as it may occur several times per year or there are more days than usual between each period. This condition may cause abnormally heavy or light periods, sometimes they are experienced more painful. The ovaries are enlarged and with lots of cysts around them. Due to the high levels of androgens, a thinning of the hair on the head might be noticed or excess body hair. There are also skin issues like oily skin or acne, weight gain, especially around the belly and infertility.

What Causes PCOS and Diagnosis

Doctors are not yet clear the exact cause of PCOS but it is often linked to insulin resistance, obesity and estrogen dominance. Each imbalance in the fine hormonal regulation of the body results in a chain of effects on all the other hormones. While everything is interconnected, high levels of insulin, cortisol, estrogen will cause a disruption in the reproductive or thyroid hormone production. The diagnosis is done by blood tests and ultrasound. With the ultrasound, the practitioner can see if the ovaries are enlarged and if there are cysts around them.

Is Cold Laser Therapy Effective for PCOS?

The conventional treatment often consists of medication, or to be more exact hormone replacement therapy in order to stimulate the ovaries. However, it has the hidden risk of excess hormones and even worsen estrogen dominance, more excessive body hair and even breast cancer. So, what are the alternatives? First of all, changes in diet and lifestyle are highly recommended. Then, you need gentle and non-invasive therapy which will balance your hormones without causing imbalance elsewhere.

Cold laser therapy ( low level laser therapy) is highly effective when treating hormonal imbalances like PCOS, diabetes, thyroidism, etc. The infrared laser emits photos which are absorbed by the cell, it basically charges the cell with energy that can be used for its functions. Often when there is a health condition, the cells do not have enough energy for regeneration and this is how the vicious circle is formed. Less energy means that some functions will be executed and some will be left for another time (like healing or detoxifying). But if the energy is not enough the next day and the next day, the cell cannot recover and it even gets sick. That is why the cold laser therapy is so effective for numerous conditions, including PCOS. Moreover, in the coMra Palm or Delta the infrared laser is supported by magnets and light diodes to provide even more efficient recovery and regeneration of the tissues.

The Mindset Behind PCOS

Let us have a few words on the psychosomatic reasons behind PCOS. What thoughts and emotions are linked to PCOS? As stated in the book “Health and Holism” by Théun Mares, this condition is caused by “feelings of gross insecurity” and namely, “feeling insecure and confused in relation to the male”. So, ask yourself - How do I feel in relation to the men in my life? What thoughts and emotions are arising when you start thinking on this question? Are they pleasant or mostly negative, do you feel safe and loved around your husband, father, brother? When you take the responsibility of your healing process, you need to observe each area of your life as everything is interdependent. The negative emotions when they are strong and overwhelming, when they are repeated constantly are affecting the hormones in the body, the heart rate, may cause headaches or fatigue. So, while coMra therapy is a holistic approach to health, we highly recommend when starting with the cold laser, to also turn your sight inside and work on the inner reasons too.

There is an epidemic nobody is talking about and that is estrogen dominance in women which can be quite dangerous. It is linked to several types of cancer, autoimmune diseases, weight gain, infertility and depression. After the age of 35 many women start going through some changes in their hormonal balance but nowadays even younger women suffer from excessive estrogen. The reproductive hormones in the female body are in a very fine balance and they regulate not only the monthly period but also the metabolism, the energy balance and overall health condition of the woman. The endocrine system is quite affected by the estrogen as an imbalance there can disturb the insulin levels, thyroid hormones production, weight proportions and the functioning of the major organs like the liver, pancreas, stomach, intestines and others.

What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance?

Estrogen dominance is the condition when the hormones from the group of estrogen become the prevailing ones dominating over other reproductive hormones like progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. The liver is the organ where the elimination of the excessive estrogen takes place and when its functioning is compromised, the levels of the estrogen start to increase. The symptoms of estrogen dominance may vary from mild to severe and can become worse if you experience too much stress in your life. If you are in your thirties or older, you probably already see some signs of high estrogen levels. Here is a list of some of the symptoms:

Irregular or heavy periods

Inflammation in different parts of the body

Water retention

Bloating, slow metabolism and other digestive issues

Thyroid dysfunction

Mood swings and irritation

Hair loss and saggy skin

Chronic fatigue

PMS and cramps around the time of the period

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome)

Weight gain and increased belly fat

Brain fog and memory loss

Headaches and migraine

Sleeping disorders

Why do you have estrogen dominance?

Nowadays, women experience estrogen dominance much more than in the past and this is linked to the pollution that is now everywhere. All the chemicals in the water, air and food affect the female body and its delicate hormonal balance. There are more factors which can have their role in the hormonal imbalance and stress is huge one too. Intense workouts, extreme diets, emotional distress, excessive body fat and ageing are also among the causes of estrogen dominance.

Additionally, a poor diet without enough protein, fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables but rich in processed foods, sweet things and alcohol on a regular basis, can make things even worse. In your middle thirties, the ovaries start producing less progesterone which is the hormone which naturally balances the increased levels of estrogen. Stress is another major factor when we speak about hormonal imbalances as the body gives priority to the cortisol production and progesterone levels drop really fast. Additionally, all the plastic that we all use in our daily life is full of xenoestrogens, they mimic the estrogen molecules and are really hard to eliminate from the body.

What is the secret of the menstrual cycle and how to follow the natural rhythms in your life as a woman? You can now watch the webinar that our team has put together exploring on how to heal and restore this fine balance in your body:

Why do you need to support your liver?

Now, let us talk a bot about the liver. This organ which is trying to cleanse the body from all the toxins, waste material left from the metabolism, excessive fat and hormones, and anything else that is not supposed to stay inside. Moreover, the liver is also responsible for the elimination of the excessive estrogen. If the liver is not working properly, the estrogen stays in the body. So, if you experience estrogen dominance, it is highly recommended to change your diet in a way to support the liver by limiting sugar consumption, alcohol intake and processed foods. All these artificial ingredients and chemicals in the processed foods load the liver with additional work.

On the other hand, many women experience sugar sensitivity or early stages of insulin resistance without even knowing it. This results in increased visceral or belly fat which hardens the normal functioning of the inner organs and shows a liver malfunction. How to heal the liver without adding more chemicals in the form of pills in the bloodstream? A great way to support and heal your liver is to apply a low level laser therapy like coMra. This gentle but highly effective method will increase the energy levels in the cells supporting their healing and recovery. Several minutes per day are enough to give a little boost to your liver. While It is a major organ which detoxifies the body constantly, this cold laser will significantly improve its condition and will induce its recovery and regeneration.

What else can you do to decrease estrogen dominance?

First of all, you need some stress management and to see in which areas in your life you use more male qualities than female. Do you work too much, are you too active, do you train intensively, are you focused on your career or your children? In other words, you need to find your own way to relax and slow everything down a bit. Again, laser therapy like coMra can help you treat your adrenal glands and your nervous system as a way to calm yourself down and enjoy life. Instead of intensive training, choose yoga, dancing or swimming, eat lots of fresh foods with enough protein and vitamins. Additionally, work towards developing your female qualities and awakening your femininity as this is also vital when we speak about hormonal balance in women.

Why should you choose laser therapy?

There are some benefits of the low level laser therapy like coMra - it is effective, painless and safe. You have to be very careful with any kind of hormone replacement therapy as adding synthetic hormones to the picture will definitely not cure the cause. With coMra, you can support the work of each organ and system in your body like liver, heart, thyroid, ovaries etc. If you have thyroid hypofunction, you can apply the treatment protocol for hypothyroidism found in the coMra user guide. If you experience symptoms of sugar sensitivity or insulin resistance, start the diabetes protocol and see how your condition will improve. The coMra therapy is totally safe, there are no negative side effects, it is easy to use, a pleasant painless procedure and it does not take too much time. The devices are small and portable and you can take them with you everywhere.

Reproductive hormones are very important for the life of a woman. In this article we will look closely at estrogen and progesterone and what can cause low levels of progesterone. Nowadays more and more women find themselves with symptoms of low progesterone from PMS to weight gain and infertility. Menopause is now happening earlier than before, sometimes women in their forties are going through a premature menopause due to the low levels of progesterone.

How does your body produce reproductive hormones?

While progesterone is mainly produced by the ovaries, except there estrogen can be produced also in the corpus luteum and some organs like the liver, heart and even the fat cells under the skin. The main cause for low progesterone is estrogen dominance. So, when we talk about progesterone deficiency, we need to understand why the levels of estrogen become too high.

Do you live a stressful life?

So, here is the truth about hormonal imbalance in women - stress. The main stress hormone called cortisol leads to the increased production of estrogen. It suppresses the thyroid hormones and the high levels of estrogen will increase the production of cortisol. Looks like a vicious circle? Well, it is. That is the reason why so many women find it extremely hard to balance their hormones back once the imbalance is already there.

Is there hidden stress in your life?

We all know how hard it is these days - career, children, projects etc. But where is your stress actually hiding? Well, there are some factors that might cause stress in your mind and body. Ask yourself several questions and if the answer is yes, then your body experiences more stress than you know. Do you often find yourself reacting with the fight, flight or freeze mode? Do you have troubles sleeping at night? Do you eat processed food full of artificial ingredients? Have you recently gained weight in the form of belly fat? Do you spend a lot of time on social networks causing your brain to process tons of information? Do you find yourself competing all the time at work or in your personal life? In fact, all of these doings are causing your mind to experience stress which you see then manifesting in your body as inflammation, pain and hormonal imbalances.

Can I increase my progesterone naturally?

Firstly, you need to observe yourself and to manage your perception in life and how you react to everyday situations. This is the step towards living a less stressful life. However, there is more to it - find time to rest, to unwind and to relax. You can start a yoga or meditation course, listen to calm music or walk in nature, whatever is your thing to lessen the stress. On the other hand, you need to support your body and especially your adrenal glands, the liver and the ovaries. A great tool to do this is low level laser therapy. This method called coMra can be applied on each of these organs daily for several minutes without any negative side effects. The laser supplies your cells with additional energy which can be used for regeneration and healing. It is very effective as you can see if you do your own research on the subject, so why not give it a try. I found it extremely helpful when I was treating my thyroid and managed to take the condition to remission.

Is your mind tricking you into feeling stressed?

Well, there is a deeper level than is equally important, actually it is the root cause of stress, depression, anxiety and all kinds of disorders. Namely, that is your mind and how it tricks you to think that your mind is you. But is that true? Who are you? Are you your mind only? Or your body? Or your soul? Each of these is part of you, but who are you? This is a question that might take a lifetime to answer but there is a part of you that is behind all that, your inner true being. If you manage to stop the total identification with your mind, then you can experience the inner peace. As the inner peace is very natural to us, you can experience it while creating a painting, dancing, meditating, watching the sunset… Basically, anything that helps you to stop the thinking process and just be. All the stress is produced in the mind as a resistance to life as it is.

Estrogen dominance is linked to many diseases

The thing is that estrogen is very easily produced by the body but is hard to eliminate when the levels are too high. On top of that, phytoestrogens enter the body through plant-based food and synthetic estrogen can enter with farmed meat like chicken, pork and even fish. Some herbs can increase the estrogen but another main factor is the plastic as a source of xenoestrogens. As you can see, all of this can become a significant amount of estrogen hormones coming from the outside. The pressure on the liver increases while it is the organ responsible for the elimination of the excessive hormones.

So, here is a tip - when you apply your coMra protocol, leave the device for ten minutes on the liver 5Hz to support its work. Restoring the hormonal balance in your body can take some time but the most important part is that every experience will teach you something new. There is a new knowledge waiting for you, it will bring change and more understanding in your life. If you have any questions, we are here for you, coMra is our mission to bring more health and balance in the people’s lives.

Meret has been using coMra therapy for many years. As many other coMra users, she found that coMra therapy is not only very safe but also that coMra is effective for various cases and conditions. She used it for her daughter's herpes, her own thyroid issues and migraines with great results.

It all started with feeling tired all the time, irregular periods and weight gain. I didn’t know what was going on with me as I had moments of feeling anxious or depressed without any obvious reason. Something was not right with my body and being tired is not really a condition but a symptom that needed my attention. However, I was wondering what might be the reason for this.

My feeling and my own research

After reading some articles, I decided to do some blood tests to see how my thyroid was working. This decision came after following my feeling that maybe it was my thyroid making problems. It was no surprise for me to see that I actually had a subclinical hypothyroidism as it was confirmed by a doctor. Then I started my own research by reading several books on the subject and numerous articles. It turned out that the low functioning of the thyroid can cause hormonal imbalance in the reproductive hormones. My period was almost absent and without ovulation, progesterone levels were dropping very fast.

Low progesterone and estrogen dominance

When there is not enough progesterone in the body, the levels of estrogen go very high and this leads to weight gain, mood swings and even infertility. The estrogen dominance is linked to several diseases in women like PSOS, insulin resistance, acne and hypothyroidism. So, it turns out that it is hard to tell which causes what as it all becomes a vicious circle. Once the normal hormone production is disturbed, one thing leads to the other and you cannot really say which was first.

Most women do not know that their estrogen is too high, not until they find out that some kind of a health condition is already present in their body. I remember that I became sensitive to sugar and gluten, I could feel inflammation in my body all the time. The question that I had in my head was what actually causes hormonal imbalance. The more I was reading, the more I was realizing that the roots are to be found in stress and liver malfunction.

Was my liver working properly?

I was noticing that I could not tolerate alcohol anymore, even after one glass of white wine, I happened to experience severe headache and hot flashes. Slowly, it was coming to my mind that maybe my liver was not working properly. Because of the hot flashes, I was thinking that maybe I was going through premature menopause although I am in my forties. But then I found out that hypothyroidism often causes an absent monthly cycle in women.

Was I in distress without noticing it?

And what about the main cause of hormonal imbalances, namely stress. I was not able to sleep well and for several months I was constantly tired and nervous. Weight gain, anxiety and hair loss made me feel even more in distress. I was confused, had mood swings that made me burst into tears and emotional drama on a regular basis and didn’t know what to do. What I knew for sure is that I do not want hormonal replacement therapy or synthetic thyroid hormones which would just cover up the symptoms and will worsen the cause underneath.

There is so much information on the internet about low progesterone, estrogen dominance and thyroid issues which causes even more confusion. The organ which eliminates the excessive amounts from the body is the liver. So, this was such a big insight for me as now I knew wny I could not drink even a glass of wine anymore.

What did I do to feel better?

Well, what I had in mind by that time is that I need to relax more and to manage the stress reaction in my body. In addition, I understood that I had to completely cut off sugar and gluten from my diet as they both made me feel bloated and caused me increased heart rate in the evenings. But most of all, I had to heal my liver. Herbs and supplements could be effective but it takes time to see the results. However, I had a tool by my side that I knew could help me and I started treatments immediately.

Embracing low level laser therapy

The tool I am talking about is coMra therapy. I started the Thyroid treatment course from the User Guide but I was adding ten or twenty minutes on my liver on 5Hz. Needless to say that I was very consistent with my treatment and every day I was doing coMra for an hour or more. Applying coMra I combined with lifestyle changes as I was doing yoga on a regular basis, some meditation, I was eating lots of fruits and vegetables and was avoiding sugar, gluten, alcohol (even vinegar) and caffeine.

What was the message?

The message for me was to take care of myself and my body as obviously the balance was destroyed. I was taking slow walks in nature, going to massage therapy, spending time in a swimming pool or the sea but most of all I was searching for all the patterns in my mind which made me feel distressed all the time. I remember how tense I was feeling emotionally but also in my body, like all my muscles were tight all the time. I was taking some supplements like selenium, magnesium and vitamin C to help my body recover. However, my main tool was coMra and I was relying on my knowledge that when I support my body, it will find a way to recover.

My recovery and feeling well again

After a month and a half I started to feel better. I was not tired all the time, I lost some weight, I had no increased heart rate in the evening and the anxiety was gone. I was feeling emotionally well and my body was showing me that balance had returned there too. I know that we are a whole being and everything is part of us - our mind, soul, body and emotions. If there is an imbalance in one of them, the others will feel it too.

I remember I was surprised to notice that I was feeling joy and happiness again, I was feeling healthy and strong. In my yoga class, I could sense that I really had power in my body and I even felt better than ten years ago. It was amazing to realise that even after this condition I was feeling stronger than my younger self. I do not know for how many years I have been living with my hormonal imbalance and what really caused it as it is more important that now I feel healthy and young from the inside. What I found out in my research is that every fifth woman nowadays has hypofunction of the thyroid but some women live with this condition all their lives without even knowing it. I am now grateful for all the knowledge and clarity I gained from my experience and that my body now is healthy, strong and relaxed.

Can you improve your hormonal balance with food? If yes, which foods to eat to increase your progesterone levels? Why do thyroid issues occur more and more often and how they are linked to the levels of the reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone? What other methods can you use that are safe and effective?

The Importance of Progesterone

The production of progesterone plays a key role for the health of a female body. It is an essential hormone regulating the cycle of the woman. If you want to get pregnant, progesterone will prepare the wall of the uterus for the fertilized egg to embed. After the ovulation, if conception did not occur, the progesterone levels drop and menstruation begins. Low levels of progesterone are linked to symptoms like irregular and heavy periods, severe PMS, cellulite, mood swings, water retention and problems conceiving. While the main cause for low progesterone is estrogen dominance, it leads to other hormonal issues like thyroid problems, low levels of luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones.

Why my progesterone is too low?

The cause of low progesterone is complex. It happens slowly but then is hard to restore the balance. Nowadays more and more women of different ages experience low progesterone. The main factor is estrogen dominance.There are two main causes of high estrogen and these are stress and liver malfunction. Too many stressful situation and you might find yourself in distress. This means that your body constantly produces cortisol. The production of any hormone takes energy, so when the body prioritizes cortisol, the reproductive hormones like progesterone are put on hold. Unlike progesterone which is mainly produced in the ovaries, estrogen is produced also by other organs and even in the fat cells. Great quantities of it are coming also from the outside with food and water - meat with hormones, hormone replacement therapy and plastic. Plastic containers, especially the one-time-use ones contain xenoestrogens. They mimic the estrogen but it is even harder for the liver to eliminate them, so they are stay in the body. When the liver cannot keep up with the estrogen elimination, the condition called estrogen dominance is formed.
