Here at 30 Plus NuWoman we are excited to announce that we have just finished filming our new advert!
We decided to use real people who take 30 Plus NuWoman and gave them a chance to talk about why they love it so much! They gave us some awesome real life responses which are a testament to the power of 30 Plus NuWoman!
We can’t wait to share the new advert with you, so keep your eyes peeled! It’s due to air in NZ on TV1, TV2 and TV3 throughout October and November!
You have probably heard someone mention Oestrogen Dominance, or talk about excessive Oestrogen. But what exactly does it mean, and what are the consequences of such a hormone imbalance?
To understand Oestrogen dominance it is first necessary to understand a little about the hormones Oestrogen and Progesterone, and the role that they play within our bodies. At a very basic level, they are opposite sides of a seesaw (hence the image above!). The more Oestrogen in your body, the less Progesterone and vice versa. This is necessary as the balance between these two hormones controls the menstrual cycle. At different stages of your menstrual cycle your body has different levels of each of these hormones, and that leads to the four stages: menstrual, follicular, ovulation and luteal.
When Oestrogen and Progesterone are doing their job they work well together. Each is controlled by the brain which tells your body to produce more or less of each depending on its needs.
Oestrogen Dominance occurs when the body has too much Oestrogen, and too little Progesterone. Even if your body has very little Oestrogen, you can still suffer from Oestrogen dominance as long as there is even less Progesterone.
Too much Oestrogen, and too little Progesterone causes discomfort in many women, and can even lead to some severe health consequences over time.
If you have ever suffered from PMS (which I am sure you probably have) then you have directly felt the effects of excess Oestrogen in your body! This is natural. But when your Oestrogen levels are significantly out of balance with progesterone levels for an extended period of time you may start to experience PMS like symptoms regularly.
Mood Swings
Anxiety & Stress
Emotional Outbursts
Irritability
Weepiness
Fatigue
Decreased Sex Drive
Weight gain around the abdomen, hips and thighs
Water retention/bloating
But what causes excess levels of Oestrogen, and lower levels of progesterone in our bodies?
Well, it is thought that major changes in lifestyle in the past 100 years are the cause. Basically the levels of Oestrogen around us have increased due to technological advances and industrialisation.
The contraceptive pill
Plastics – BPA (Found in food and drink containers, household items and even shop receipts!)
Food additives (Not exactly Oestrogen, but Oestrogen mimicking chemicals are sometimes used in food manufacture)
These unnatural environmental sources of Oestrogen are known to wreak havoc with the body’s delicate balance, and cause excess levels of Oestrogen that lead to the symptoms mentioned previously.
So what can you do? Apart from avoiding the aforementioned sources, which is impractical and near impossible, you can give your body a helping hand in regulating levels of Oestrogen and Progesterone.
30 Plus NuWoman is a natural supplement developed by a naturopath for women suffering from the symptoms of hormonal imbalance, as mentioned before. It does not contain any hormones, but rather assist the body in creating its own necessary hormones to balance things as talked about previously.
If you are suffering from hormone imbalance, or PMS has got you feeling down then give 30 Plus NuWoman a go!
Now without further ado, I give you a mildly relevant cat picture!
The modern woman leads a busy life juggling work, parenting and trying to maintain a happy home. It’s not uncommon for women to feel overwhelmed as they struggle to balance life’s demands, often feeling emotional, moody desperate and overwhelmed.
This can translate into feelings of hopelessness, frustration and sadness.
Oestrogen Dominance, arising from a woman’s hormones being out of balance, can lead to problems such as uncontrollable emotions, irritability, persistent mood swings, stress, anger, hormonal issues, fluctuating/painful periods, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. The Beauty Book decided to do some research and learnt that Oestrogen Dominance is a condition where women have deficient, normal or excessive oestrogen but have little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body.
The Beauty Book visited our local pharmacy to find a product that can help with Oestrogen Dominance. We were excited to learn about 30 Plus NuWoman, a natural supplement designed especially for women to bring hormones back into balance. An inspection of the back label explained the product is packed with many key nutrients – Cimi-max, an patented extract of Cimicifuga racemosa (Black cohosh), Tyrosine, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9 (Folic acid), Vitamin B12, Calcium and Chromium Picolinate. We were also excited to learn that 30 Plus NuWoman is completely hormone free.
The instructions state that it would generally take two menstrual cycles to notice results. One of The Beauty Book’s writers decided to trial the product for a few months and was over the moon with the results. Often experiencing mood swings and the highs and lows of life, in addition to unsettled sleep, life improved dramatically. She found she enjoyed greater periods of calm in her life and more settled sleep; she was so impressed that she decided to keep taking it. Further research on Oestrogen Dominance showed it can also be responsible for weight gain and terrible period pain. It’s thought there are several factors linked to Oestrogen Dominance. Specifially:
We were delighted to learn about 30 Plus NuWoman and decided that this product combined with a focus on healthy diet, responsible lifestyle and settled sleep patterns, was an excellent supplement to take to support wellness in the female body.
30 Plus NuWoman is a natural hormone support product, designed to help women deal with hormonal imbalance and overcome the symptoms associated with it. The most common symptoms being: Mood Swings, Irritability, Emotional Outbursts, Sleeplessness and Sugar Cravings.

Just what are hormones, and how do they effect us so much? Here is a quick low down on Oestrogen and Progesterone, two very important hormones!
Naturally Produced by:
Unnatural Sources:
These two are big in the game when it comes to mood swings, irritability and emotional outbursts!
You can think of these as the two sides of a seesaw. As your body produces more Oestrogen, it produces less Progesterone, and vice versa. Too much of either, means too little of the other and thus leads to a hormonal imbalance.
Keeping these two hormones in balance is vital to a healthy, happy life. It is necessary for the two hormones to fluctuate, but large imbalances can cause some nasty symptoms such as:
We suggest a healthy diet, regular exercise and a hormone support supplement such as 30 Plus NuWoman. 30 Plus NuWoman is made from natural ingredients and helps the body regulate Oestrogen and Progesterone levels. How you ask? Check out the ingredients and their functions here.
If you google Mood Swings, then the first response you get is the following dictionary definition:
“an abrupt and unaccountable change of mood.”
I don’t like this. Unaccountable means that it is unable to be explained, and thus unable to be controlled or treated. This is just not true!
So without further ado, here are our top 6 tips for handling those hormones, and avoiding mood swings:
Where does this Oestrogen come from? Well one of the main notions is that a large increase in Oestrogen in the water supply is a direct cause of the common adoption of “the pill”. There is no doubt about the fact that the female contraceptive pill contains hormones or hormone mimicking chemicals. It is also a fact that the urine of women taking “the pill” contains high levels of these chemicals. So just what do we think happens to these chemicals after they are expelled from the body? It’s quite simple (and slightly gross). They are discharged into the water systems of our small island. That is into rivers, the sea or straight to a recycling/purifying plant where they are filtered into drinking water. The problem seems obvious doesn’t it? The Oestrogen and other hormones expelled into the water system are recycled and end up being consumed by more people, then they are once again expelled into the water system where they join yet more hormones from the same process and the concentration in our drinking water slowly increases.
