What happens when you have high estrogen levels, and what can you do about it? If you want to learn more about estrogen dominance, this podcast is chock-full with the information that will help you avoid it or heal it, and inspire you to make that change to hormonal health!

Topics Discussed in this Episode:

• What is estrogen dominance?
• What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance?
• What are some causes of estrogen dominance?
• What can we do to heal estrogen dominance?

Key Takeaways:

• Estrogen dominance for women is the condition of having far too much estrogen in relation to other hormones, in particular, progesterone in the body.
• With the overexposure that we have to plastics, chemicals, environmental toxins, food toxins, and stress, there is a good chance that many people are dealing with estrogen dominance.
• One of the main reasons why there has been a noticeable rise in estrogen dominance among women is because the use of the birth control pill has become so popular.
• The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen you will make. And the more estrogen you make, the more fat you will store.

Action Steps:

• Do a DUTCH test or a saliva test to find out where your hormone levels are at.
• Limit your soy and coffee intake.
• Find a healthier alternative to the birth control pill.
• Avoid personal care products that contain xenoestrogens and other toxic chemicals.
• Filter your water and drink out of glass or stainless steel.
• Eat enough fiber and choose organic as much as possible.
• Dry brush.
• Ditch the plastic.
• Manage your stress.
• Take supplements that can help with estrogen dominance.
