DIM 3X® is an all-natural estrogen metabolizer that helps men to balance their hormones for optimal physical performance. This product has been specially formulated to help men reduce their active estrogen levels.

There are four key ingredients in DIM 3X® - Vitamin E, DIM, Astragin, and BioPerine.

This combination of ingredients help men:

Lowers Estrogen Levels Supports Testosterone Production Blocks Aromatase Enzyme Boost Strength & Stamina Enhances Mood & Focus You see, DIM 3X® works by converting bad estrogen (2-hydroxyestrone) into good estrogen (16-alpha-hydroxy-estrone) metabolites.

DIM 3X® provides extra hormone support for optimal testosterone levels.

High estrogen levels can make a man feel drained, fat and miserable.

Thankfully, DIM 3X® is here to help men over age 40 with hormone issues. That's because studies show DIM could help reduce estrogen levels. And with the proper balance of estrogen you could improve your overall well-being.

Why crying is good for you Ever hear the saying I feel so good after that good cry? Well, there is something to this. After crying we feel a release a weight lifted. This is becasue when we cry we rel;ease endorphins and oxcytocins. It detoxifies the bosy and helps us sleep as well as balancwe hormones. Crying helps us recover from grief and its best to cry rather than surpress emotions. Keeing it all stuffed down can cause stress hypertention and dis-ease. crying helps boost our mood and feels good. So if you ever feel that you need to cry do it. It also rids dust and particles from the eyes. rying is a safety valve and because keeping enotons inside is suppossed to cause dis-ease like heart hypertention and stress, crying produces a release which helps boost the immune system.

Me: man I’m really struggling with my gender lately and identifying with femininity

Me: maybe it’s regular body dysmorphia bc I’ve gained a lot of weight and due to widespread fat phobia, femininity if often stripped from fat girls so I have nothing to identify with

Me: also I’m really moody and my boobs are sore, but I’m sure that’s unrelated

Me: weird… I’m starting to get cramps…

My period: ✨✨✨ hey ✨✨✨

Anyway, premenstrual dysphoric disorder is real y’all

Avoiding caffeine on an empty stomach is also ideal for hormone balance, for those with a compromised gut, and for those with anxiety.

cycle syncing tip:

estrogen (increasing in follicular and ovulatory phases) is kept stable with FAT. Healthy fats (ghee, avocados, olives, fatty fish, olive oil, MCT oil etc.) keep blood sugar stable. Along with increased fiber to usher out excess estrogen, FAT & FIBER during these phase create hormonal stability and calm and decrease symptoms of estrogen dominance.

progesterone (rises in the Luteal phase to keep the endometrial lining intact in case of pregnancy) is kept stable with increased calories, specifically WHOLE FOOD CARBS (sweet potato, sweet plantain, ripe fruit etc.). I always imagine progesterone like a bear; you need to feed it and let it rest. Feeding progesterone lengthens the time between ovulation and your bleed and keeps PMS symptoms at bay

I SHOULD NOT TALK TO PASANDIDA MARD WHEN PRE OVULATING

Do people not realize that everyone has both estrogen and testosterone in their system? And that those levels fluctuate over time? It's the amounts that tend to align with specific genders or cause specific aspects of gender attributes.

Cis people often need hormone replacement therapy and/or hormone balancing for health reasons. And the regulations making it harder to access those treatments affect cis people as well.

So support gender confirming care across the board cause transphobia is bad for everyone's health.

do you know of any herbalism resources specifically for mood swings/hormonal related mood issues?

Hi dear! First of all, the mandatory reminder that I am not a doctor so you should always pair your consultations to traditional authorities and folk healers (curanderos, yerberos, rootworkers, etc) with a visit to the corresponding doctor or licensed medical professional.

Also, always, always research each of these herbal allies before consumption and look for dosages, contraindications and drug interactions. You need to be making educated choices regarding what you're drinking and why, and how it's going to affect your body. Check with a professional when in doubt, describe to them your goals and why you want to use said herbal ally.

With that being said, yes, I have some recommendations. If you're the type to enjoy tea (and who isn't!) you can try drinking adaptogens in the morning, that is, herbal allies that help your body deal with inner and outer stressors and normalize everything. There's an immense variety of them, my personal favorite is mate (Ilex paraguariensis), which is common here in south america but other popular choices are ginseng (Panax ginseng) and ashwagandha (Withania somnifera).

Depending on what the other symptoms are (if you're anxious, depressed, have headaches or bleeding between periods, etc) there's different herbs that may help to adress the source of each of those issues. St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is common for depression, irritability and anxiety related to hormonal and reproductive health issues but has many drug interactions so consult with a doctor first. Chamomile works better for me personally, and has almost to no side effects or contraindications, but it is milder than st. john's wort and works in your body differently too. Each person's needs are different. Damiana (Turnera aphrodisiaca, Turnera diffusa) is a good hormone balancer and nervine, but it's not recommended for long-term use. Hoffmann recommends Vitex agnus-castus as a overall hormonal normalizer regardless of what hormone is causing issues, but says any bitter tonic can help, and there's many depending on which systems and symptoms you want to adress alongside the mood swings.

Basically, we'd need to see what other symptoms alongside mood swings you have and what the source of the issue is (if it's a specific hormone or stressor or what's the trigger to the problems you're facing, so we can know which systems we need to be addressing more holistically), while also being careful to not cause any harmful interactions with drugs or medication you may already be taking for these or other issues. Hope that helps!
