The brains defense mechanisms!
"A different form of suppression, known as visual perceptual suppression, occurs when an object or part of one is not consciously seen even though the image is always clearly visible. A common example is the bistable figure, such as the drawing of the cube, the vase-face or the duck-rabbit in the triptych illustration above. The eyes see the same lines and shapes on the page, but what you consciously see in your head changes from the duck to the rabbit and back again. When the image of the duck is being consciously seen in your mind’s eye, the image of the rabbit is “suppressed,” and vice versa." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/neuroscience-meets-psychoanalysis
When I was in middle school after time in the Gym we took showers. Well kids are nasty after playing dodge ball etc I would be burned out, sweaty, greasy so I would get in the shower to clean the nasty off of me. I knew I was not nasty like this before puberty so I would be in the shower getting it off of me asking why. In the shower I looked over at another boy and noticed a blackspot on his crouch. I realized I censored that like I didn't know why but was like wow did I just do that? I didn't want to see another kids wiener so the image of the wiener was suppressed because my defense mechanism my brain said that is not me I know who I am!
I also changed my major many times in college. I never limited my education, "Multiple intelligences refers to a theory describing the different ways students learn and acquire information." So one subject overlaps with the others. I took many classes that related as I saw it. I jumped into Psychology because of my girlfriends incident she had with her boyfriend and her mom when she was in high school. Her boyfriend didn't pick her up at the High school so she walked home only to get home where she heard a bang bang noise that at the time she thought it was like water pipes banging around leaking. So she ran to the washer and it was ok. The noise was coming from her moms bedroom so she opened the door only so see her mom and her boyfriend going at it in a bad place. Her mom was high a lot at the time her boyfriend asked her mom if he could have a piece of her "hash" so she said ok bending over to get it out of the drawer and...
That was the last thing my girlfriend remembered her brain blacked out till she came back in a fetal position at her sisters middle school not knowing how she got there. She walked all the way there. We acknowledged the danger of what if she had a car at the time driving blacked out! Bad things but she had to deal with the mental issues of that. She was lucky she blacked out sometimes the brain will make another personality to firewall the issue like a child that does not talk to be between both personalities kind of things!

Estrogen's Effects on the Female Body, Metabolism and Flaxseed
As it's said with men it's mind to privates and women privates to mind. Well sort of, just how hormonal balance is vital in a woman's system, metabolism. Really everyone anyway.
~~~~Women have a higher proportion of body fat compared to men. However, women consume fewer kilojoules per kilogram lean mass and burn fat more preferentially during exercise compared with men. During gestation, women store even greater amounts of fat that cannot be solely attributed to increased energy intake. These observations suggest that the relationship between kilojoules consumed and kilojoules utilised is different in men and women. The reason for these sex differences in energy metabolism is not known; however, it may relate to sex steroids, differences in insulin resistance, or metabolic effects of other hormones such as leptin. When considering lifestyle modifications, sex differences in energy metabolism should be considered. Moreover, elucidating the regulatory role of hormones in energy homeostasis is important for understanding the pathogenesis of obesity and perhaps in the future may lead to ways to reduce body fat with less energy restriction. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136178
~~~~Estrogens are a group of hormones that play an important role in the normal sexual and reproductive development in women. They are also sex hormones. The woman's ovaries make most estrogen hormones, although the adrenal glands and fat cells also make small amounts of the hormones.
In addition to regulating the menstrual cycle, estrogen affects the reproductive tract, the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and the brain. Secondary sexual characteristics, such as pubic and armpit hair, also start to grow when estrogen levels rise. Many organ systems, including the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, and the brain are affected by estrogen. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/estrogens-effects-on-the-female-body
Flaxseed? Well it's better to use than not. I remember a boy in school that eat a lot of wheat, soy, grains and ended up with boobs. So there is estrogens there. https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00956813
Also beta carotene because it helps the mucous membranes. Vitamin D3 "Aging reduces vitamin D production in skin. There is a decrease in the concentration of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the epidermis in old compared with young individuals and a reduced response to UV light, resulting in a 50% decrease in the formation of previtamin D3." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3782116
The point of not neglecting keeping up with yourself!
