Understanding Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen dominance refers to a condition where there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, with estrogen being relatively higher. Some key points about estrogen dominance:

• Common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood fluctuations.
• Potential causes include dietary and lifestyle factors, exposure to environmental toxins, chronic stress, and poor gut health.
• Testing typically involves analyzing the ratio of estrogen to progesterone metabolites in urine or saliva samples.
• Treatment focuses on supporting healthy estrogen metabolism and reducing exposure to xenohormones (foreign estrogen-like compounds). This may involve dietary changes, stress management techniques, and the use of specific supplements.

It's important to note that symptoms can vary widely in cases of estrogen dominance, and the underlying causes are often complex. A comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes and promotes overall hormonal balance is typically recommended.
