Most forms of soy are rich in isoflavones, or plant estrogens. These hormonally-active substances can mimic estrogen in the body, which is why we often hear the advice for women in mid-life to eat more soy products. But does that mean we should all eat as much soy as possible?
There are genuine benefits to soy: it is a superior protein source and is high in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols as well as antioxidants that may reduce cancer risk. And it is true that appropriate amounts of soy isoflavones can have a balancing effect on menopausal hormone levels.
However, there is another side to the soy story.
A number of health practitioners have reported that many menopausal women-and particularly overweight women-have sluggish thyroid function, although this deficiency may not be reflected in the results of the common thyroid blood tests.

• Vitamin D is probably the most under utilized treatment in modern medicine!
• There is OVERWHELMING medical evidence on Vitamin D deficiency states, yet very few doctors know about it or utilize it as a therapy.
• There are two ways to get Vitamin D- to eat it in the diet, or to make it in the skin. The skin reaction will not occur without exposure to UV-B light- which is blocked by sunscreen use.
• Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, like other sex steroid hormones. Chemically, it very closely resembles estrogen and testosterone, and it is probably better called a pro-hormone than a vitamin!
• Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency can be very subtle: muscle cramps or weakness, poor balance, inability to get up from a chair without pushing on the armrests, fragile nails, depression and bone fracture.
