"Learn About Endocrine Disruptors and How They Destroy Your Weight Loss..."
"Endocrine disruptors are chemicals in our environment that enter our bodies and alter the way your hormones act and react. By this method they either cause weight gain or prevent weight loss." | Endocrine means relating to internal secretion. Hormones are secreted by glands. The endocrine system in the body is the system that regulates the secretion of hormones from these glands. When a gland secretes a hormone, the hormone goes through the blood. When the hormone reaches the place where it is supposed to go and the receptor at the other end receives it, it sends a message through the nervous system and the gland stops secreting it. Disrupts Hormone Process An endocrine disruptor is something that disrupts the endocrine process (the process of glands sending and receiving hormones). These chemicals act as if they were hormones. But they are not. They can block, excite, or inhibit. Some of these chemicals go into the receptor and block the real hormone. Some go into the receptor and give a signal strength that is too strong. Others will go into the receptor and give a signal strength that is too weak. Imagine stepping on the gas while driving and the brakes have a blocker or inhibitor which prevents the brakes from receiving the signal. Your car won’t stop. Or it can be putting your foot on your car breaks and having your car accelerate! Examples of Endocrine Disruptors: - Pesticides: pest killers
- Insecticides: insect killers
- Herbicides: weed killers
- Fungicides: fungus killers
- Plastics
- Solvents
- Heavy metals
Feedstock Cattle and Poultry feed are laden with toxic chemicals. Livestock are grown close together and because of this the spread of illness moves swift and this is very costly for the livestock business. As a preventative measure, animal feeds used contain a myriad of hormone-disrupting toxins including pesticides, antibiotics, and drugs to combat disease when so many animals are packed closely together. Where Do They Come From How much is used? One half of all antibiotics produced in the US is used on livestock feed.1 If you eat in any developed country, you are eating pesticides from fruits and vegetables, many of which are known endocrine disruptors. Approximately 5 billion pounds of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other biocides are being added to the world each year. In the past 100 years, several hundred billion pounds of pesticides have been released into the environment.2 Pesticides that are banned in the US, such as DDT, are being used in some other countries freely. It is estimated that a person eats illegal pesticides 75 times a year just by following the USDA's recommendation of five servings of fruits and vegetables a day if these are purchased in regular supermarkets. Vegetables grown in developing foreign countries such as South America and Africa find their way back to our dinner table in this global community. Many endocrine disruptors are also Persistent Organic Pollutants as well. This means that they stay in the environment for a very long time, travel vast distances and accumulate in tissue and proliferate through the food chain. You can learn more on the the page, "Persistent Organic Pollutants." Cause Confusing Hormone Symptoms Pesticide residues have chemical structures that are similar to estrogen and are classified as xenoestrogens. Though there are "normal" level of estrogen in the body, your body is exhibiting signs of having much more estrogen. You can read more about this in "Estrogen Dominance." Many also have proven to alter thyroid hormone production and cause hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism. Videos on Endocrine Disruptors Dr. Robert M. Carey, president of the Endocrine Society, announced the societys first-ever scientific statement on endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Dr. Hugh Taylor, a reproductive endocrinologist at Yale University, describes advice to give to patients. The volume is very poor so you will have to turn up the volume to hear what he is saying clearly. This video is the third part of a series of videos that discuss chemicals that affect the endocrine system. You Can Do Something About It - The first step in changing the world we live in is to become aware of it.
- All of you reading this have the ability to change it for the better by the voting system. The modern capitalist system has a voting system that determines how our world is shaped. That voting system is what I call "Vote By Purchase." Each purchase you make is a vote for what manufacturers will produce.
Do you know this is how Gandhi brought the most powerful empire to its knees? He wanted independence from England. The fatal blow he delivered was when he convinced India to stop producing for England. India was the greatest source of raw materials for Great England. Without its supply of raw materials, all commerce for England stopped.

Over the past 10 years I have been losing weight and putting it back on just about every three months. I finally took a much needed step and hired Yegyan to help me stop the yo-yo diet cycle. After 30 days I lost 11 LBS and was able to get back into my favorite pair of jeans. After 60 days I lost a total of 16 LBS. After 120 days, the weight is still off, my skin looks much better, and I actually have energy at 2pm in the afternoon! Lol People always ask me what’s different and it really boils down to the education that I received from Yegyan. He put facts behind his food & nutrient recommendations so that I began to WANT to eat healthier foods instead of just forcing myself. It’s been a lifestyle change and I couldn’t be happier to have officially said goodbye to the old (overweight) Nick. Yegyan, thank you for all of your hard work and for our new friendship. Nick Unsworth | | I hired Yegyan to help me with general health and energy. I wasn't so interested in weight loss. But I endedup losing 14 pounds in two months. And this was also during Christmas! I hardly have any sugar cravings (and I was a sugarholic. I mean fast food dessert breakfast lunch and dinner), and have deeper sleep than I ever remember and more energy throughout the whole day. The days were like a struggle to make it through. Now I feel good, calm, focused and happy all day. It is more than I expected. Jenna Wilkinson | I CAN FIT IN MY JEANS – haven’t worn them for about 8 years! S.M. Australia | I spoke to you about 3 weeks ago, and I wanted to thank you again for responding to my last e-mail so promptly, and giving me some feedback on what I've been doing. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to check in and let you know about my progress... so far after about 2 1/2 weeks, I've lost about 10lbs. When I took my measurements, I would say that I've lost between 1/2" and 1" in most areas of my body T. D. Long Beach CA Jun 25, 2010 | | There was a change today.... 4.5 lbs loss to be exact. :) Charlene Mercer, Dohar | | Last time I told you I had lost 20lbs in three months by changing my diet and aerobic activity in the form of brisk running. My waist has gone from 45" to now 38" and my weight 196lbs my height is 6ft.... and my waist is getting smaller again. This is great motivation! ...At 57 I don't feel I have both feet in the grave yet. Above all I don't want to become what I see lots of my friends starting to turn into wizened old men! Anyhow thought I would just give you some feedback and thank you for a well written and thought out book. Larry Manderson, MD. Ireland | Got your metabolism makeover e-book, and love it! THANKS Nevin | | Went to doc's office: She decreased my insulin back down to 40 (yippee!) and was really pleased with my progress.... I'm happy with what you've helped me accomplish thus far. I was shocked to suddenly realize that I was feeling good after so many years of daily headaches and stuffed up nose. L. Liberty, Tacoma, WA | | When I first started changing my diet a week ago, I couldn't believe it. I definitely started to feel the difference. My mind was clearer. It felt like a fog was lifted. My energy was increased. I wasn't dragging myself around to do things. I had a lot more energy. Even my hair improved. It wasn't as dry as it was before I changed the way I was eating. It has a lot more body and not as frizzy and it was. I was using a special conditioner to make it less dry and frizzy. I don't have to use that anymore. My skin is different also. I have been told so many times by a lot of people that I look younger. I even notice it myself. I don't look so worn out anymore. My skin has a different look to it. It seems like my wrinkles are not as pronounced. The rest of my body isn't as dry as it was, I don't use half of the lotions I did before. I have lost ten pounds and 1 inch of my thighs and hips. My life is changing for the better. I haven't even started to exercise yet. But I don't feel that it will be as hard as it would have been if I didn't change my diet. I'll update you with my results. Thank you so much for all of your help and the knowledge that you are giving me. What a difference a diet can make in your life. I think once you get the knowledge on how food affects your body, the easier it is to change the way you eat. Knowledge it half the battle. So many people eat the wrong way because they have been given bad information. There are a lot of people on diets that are really not eating the right way or eating the right things. They seem to gain the weight right back the minute they stop the diet. They feel hungry all of the time and get tempted constantly by the things they can't eat. Well I don't feel deprived. I don't feel hungry and I haven't been tempted by anything, which is unusual for me. Nobody ate more sugar and sweets than I did. I was always putting a cookie in my mouth. Eating chocolate or cake any chance I got. I thought it gave me more energy. I don't need that anymore. I never thought I would not want any sweets, but I don't. I feel satisfied, which is a great feeling. Feb 2 2009 Follow up …. Ye Gyan, I am now down to 128lbs from 156lbs!! You're great!! I can now wear anything I want!! I feel so much better at this weight! Wait until you see me. We need to take another after picture! Jan 20 2010 C. DeHaan. Oregon | Jan 21, 2010...

Yegyan I got to bed on time last night I woke up a few min at 12 am but after that I stayed asleep the rest of the night … I have droped a few pounds and I feel so good. I am smiling right now thank you. 3 Feb 2010... … Everyone is starting to tell me how good I look. My mom could not believe my size 8's are really loose. I had got up to a size 10 and it was tight boy that came off quick. I have tried for months to do what you have got me to doing. I am a Tarus born in April and my head is hard but I am listening to you and doing as you say. 11Feb 2010... Yegyan I did not know if I should tell you this but I am. It has only been a few weeks and the changes in on the out side of me are turning 35 year olds heads. YES I have got 35 year old men after me. I was trying to change my cholesterol I dont know if that has happened yet but now I have another thing going on. I have got men after me from 35 to 70 years old. I am really having a lot of fun with all the attention I am getting I was not looking for weight to go so much but I am really liking this. I am in jeans I have not worn for 10 years I look 10 years younger than I am. THIS IS FUN If people dont belive it they can email me. E. Powell, WA | At 48 years old, I had spent the better part of 25 years running, working out, eating healthy food, and taking care of my body. Being somewhat of an exercise junkie, I was certain I had all the answers. I was frustrated that my body was stuck in a state of “I’m not budging, just try and make me.” I can honestly say that I thought I knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing for myself and for my health, however, I was working in vain. What I wanted was completely eluding me. I thought that at 48 I finally had the time, the space and the energy to have the body that I wanted, and dammit, I was going to get it. I tried to tweak my diet and exercise routines in every way I could think of, but nothing was working. Although I was keeping up a rigorous routine of daily exercising and relatively (at least that is what I thought) healthy eating, nothing was changing. In addition to not feeling as fit as I should have been for how hard I was working, I literally had zero energy Yegyan’s approach to diet, exercise and overall health and well-being are unlike anyone else’s. I have read countless books on diet and exercise. I have had personal trainers and diet coaches. However, I have never felt as good or, in my opinion, looked as good as I feel and look today after following Yegyan’s advice and approach to repairing the body by correcting hormonal imbalances through nutrition and proper exercise. I have lost those stubborn 6 pounds, 8% body fat and 12 inches overall. I am overwhelmed with excitement, not just because I look so much better, but more importantly, because I actually FEEL so much better. I feel more alive, more alert, more energetic, more rested, and healthier than ever. L. Quintanilla, Aliso Viejo, CA | I listened to what you had to say about exercising and now can understand what I am doing wrong. I have lost inches .... Thank you for helping me to understand that. Chuckey Tacoma,WA | EVERYBODY was asking me what am i doing!!! and that i lost a lot of weight YAY!!!!! today , my in laws came over for lunch .... it’s amazing how i could finally control my cravings that easy. THANK YOU YEGYAAAAAAAAAAAN!! H. Abdul Rhiyad, Saudi Arabia | | Before I met Yegyan, I had been working out at the gym, but struggled to lose 10 pounds over a period of many months. When Yegyan and I talked about that, he explained that my heart rate should not go over 126 while working out in order to be burning fat. I had had no idea, so prior to that I had been working as hard as I could push it, out to 135 and even 140 and believing I was doing the best thing possible to lose weight in a healthy manner. As soon as I began to keep my heart rate under 126 and increase the length of workouts as he had also suggested, the next 10 pounds came off much more quickly, and I was a believer! Thank you Yegyan, for helping me to restore myself to fitness.” Melody Haines | | Thank you so much for your consults and training. I read your book and though I was doing everything correct but the weight loss stopped even though other other symptoms like energy, sleep, flexibility relaxation were still improving. After doing the coaching with you for 4 months I realized that there is more to this than meets the eye. You were able to spot many things that were giving me trouble. Better yet, you told me in advance what I would be running into. Not generally, but specifically me. From your experience you were able to tell me I would have a hard time with something and sure enough it was a brick wall. Then you walked me through it every single day for three weeks straight. There is no way you can put everything in a book. I have reached my goal and know I have given myself the greatest gift - long-term health and knowledge. Please put this email on your site!
