131: Should we be concerned about estrogen metabolites?


Listen Later

In this episode, Tara breaks down what estrogen metabolites are, why they matter, and whether it’s necessary to invest in expensive hormone tests. She explains how the body metabolizes estrogen through the liver and gut, and which lifestyle and nutrition strategies support this process - regardless of what your test results may say.

Tara also discusses the limitations of supplements like DIM and calcium D-glucarate, urging listeners to focus on diet, gut health, and personalized nutrient support instead of chasing quick fixes.

You'll learn:
  • What estrogen metabolites are (2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH -yes, we decode the jargon!)
  • Why a healthy liver and gut are critical for hormone detox
  • The truth about DIM and calcium D-glucarate (and why they might not be right for everyone)
  • The difference between true root-cause healing vs. supplement band-aids
  • The practical, proven strategies Tara recommends instead of jumping into expensive testing
