300+ drugs approved for men.
None for you.
But there’s another way, so let me show you.
Let’s not beat around the bush.
- You’re over 40.
- You’re doing your best.
- You eat well.
- You stretch.
- You smile.
- You try not to snap.
But deep down, something feels… off.
Your body is changing.
Your emotions are unpredictable.
And every time you ask your GP what’s going on, they say:
“Your bloodwork is normal.”
“It’s just your age.”
“Try an antidepressant.”
Meanwhile:
- You can’t sleep.
- You wake up hot.
- You can’t remember where you left your phone.
- Your libido has vanished.
- You’re gaining weight you didn’t earn.
- Your skin feels dull, your heart feels tired, and your sense of self feels… foggy.
And all the while, no one is telling you the truth.
If Men Went Through What We Do…
Let me paint a picture for you.
Imagine if men, at the age of 40, had their testicles removed.
No testosterone.
No sex drive.
No muscle tone.
No sleep.
No motivation.
And then were told:
“Just act normal. It’s all in your head.”
You’d see global protests, billion-dollar government funding, and drug companies falling over themselves to “solve the crisis.”
And in fact, that’s exactly what’s happened.
Not the castration part (though metaphorically, perhaps).
But the response?
There are over 300 FDA-approved drugs for men’s midlife symptoms, including testosterone replacement, erectile dysfunction, prostate health, and mood.
But for women?
We get:
Hormone blockers
Birth control pills
Antidepressants
Or “good luck, it’s just menopause”
There is a massive disparity, and it’s hurting millions of women.
We are not being seen.
We are not being supported.
AND, we are not being told the truth about what our bodies need, and why we’re suffering.
The Real Root Cause of Hormone Chaos
According to Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Pete and me,
- Bad fats (seed oils) that damage our cells
- Missing minerals that used to come from our water and soil
- Toxic overload from plastics, glyphosate, pharma residue, and xenoestrogens
- Dehydration — which is not just accidental, but sometimes protective
- Medical gaslighting that leaves us misdiagnosed and misinformed
The Truth About Seed Oils
You’ve probably heard by now that seed oils are bad.
But here’s what no one tells you:
These oils (canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, grapeseed, cottonseed) contain high levels of omega-6 linoleic acid, which:
- Damages mitochondria
- Promotes inflammation
- Gets stored in your cell membranes — like a Trojan horse
- And stays there for up to TWO YEARS 😳
As Dr. Mercola explains, your cells literally use these toxic oils as building blocks.
But they don’t behave like natural fats, they:
- Don’t open or close properly
- Don’t communicate properly
- Don’t absorb nutrients properly
- And most importantly… they can’t make healthy hormones
Your Cells Are Confused
Imagine trying to build a sacred temple out of plastic straws and glue.
That’s what your body is doing with these oils.
And yet, women are still being told to:
- Use margarine
- Eat low fat
- Drink oat and soy milk
- Avoid saturated fat
- Fear cholesterol
It’s backwards.
It’s outdated.
It’s dangerous.
What About Dehydration?
This one is subtle — and powerful.
Most women over 40 are chronically dehydrated.
But not just because they “forget to drink water.”
Pete and I believe this may be an intelligent self-protection mechanism.
When your body is overloaded with toxins (from bad fats, xenoestrogens, EMFs, medications, and stress), opening your cells wide could make things worse.
- So your body tightens.
- Dehydrates.
- Closes the cell gates.
Why?
To protect you from further damage.
But here’s the good news:
Once you start cleansing the toxins, rebuilding with healthy fats and minerals, and hydrating deeply, your cells remember how to open again.

A Soy Milk Story from the Café…
Recently, a beautiful woman walked into the Purple House Kitchen and asked: “Do you have soy milk for my coffee?”
I answered, “No, we don’t use soy milk here.”
She looked surprised and a little shocked.
So I explained: “Soy milk is marketed as a health food, but it’s one of the most hormone-disrupting substances for women over 40. It mimics estrogen, yes — but it’s the wrong kind, and it confuses your system, especially if you’re already estrogen dominant. Plus, it’s often made from GMO soybeans, full of seed oils, and stabilizers that harm your gut.”
She looked down, then looked up.
“That’s exactly what I’m struggling with.”
(She opted to have a bullet proof coffee instead)
The Real Protocol for Hormone Healing
Here’s how we do things differently at the Purple House.
We help you empty the toxic cup, and refill it with truth, nourishment, and cellular wisdom.
Here’s your blueprint:
Stop:
- All seed oils (check labels religiously)
- Soy milk and fake estrogens
- Over-the-counter supplements that are synthetic
- Premarin and synthetic HRT (linked to serious side effects)
- Skipping meals or running on coffee
- Antidepressants for hormone symptoms
Start:
- Healthy saturated fats: tallow, coconut oil, egg yolks, ghee
- Hydration with clean water + sea salt
- Liver flushing with Beetflow
- Mineral replenishment filtered water and Himalayan Salt, and Iodine drops.
- Daily rituals like the Hormone Smoothie
- Healing sessions with Pete or Grada to reset your system
The Purple House Hormone-Healing Smoothie
A daily elixir to nourish hormones, gut, brain, and soul.
“When your cells are properly fed, your hormones start to flow again, your nervous system calms, and you feel like yourself again.”
Ingredients:
1 tbsp organic flaxseeds (fresh ground)
1 tsp maca powder
1 tsp raw cacao powder
1 tsp cinnamon
½ avocado or 1 tbsp coconut oil
1 scoop Vital All-In-One
1/2 cup (handful) or berries (optional)
1/4 tsp Himalayan or Celtic salt
1–2 cups coconut milk, Milk Kefir or Yoghurt
Optional add-ins:
Spirulina or chlorella
1 drop food-grade Clary Sage essential oil
Whipped flaxseed + full cream yoghurt (Budwig-style)
Beetflow powder or cap for gentle liver support
Why It Works:
This smoothie:
Feeds your mitochondria
Restores bile flow (so you can detox estrogen and fats)
Balances blood sugar (which keeps cortisol down)
Supports bowel regularity
Provides protein, fat, and fibre in an easily digestible form
And most importantly:
It re-teaches your cells how to heal.
How to Accelerate Your Healing
Without support, it can take 2 years to fully detox bad fats from your system.
But with the right protocol + energy healing, we’ve seen women turn around in weeks or months.
That’s because:
- Energy work clears emotional trauma stored in cells
- Hands-on healing boosts nervous system regulation
- Structural alignment supports lymphatic flow
- Energy Medicine and subconscious healing pinpoints the real issue
- This is body, mind, soul, and spirit healing — and it works.
