Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

I decided to do something a little different than our regular Monday episodes. I encouraged you to ask me your questions on estrogen and you all came through with some great queries. The questions allowed me to go over many of the myths and worries involved with estrogen.

I discuss why estrogen is vilified when we discuss hormones and how the hormone fluctuates through your life. I answer many questions on varying levels of estrogen and its effect on your body as well as how you should interpret test results for the hormone.

I am also releasing my 7-day detox program for FREE so you can move towards feeling better soon by following the program: https://jennpike.com/freedetox

If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to [email protected] or via Instagram at @jennpike and I'll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.

Quotes -

• “...a stimulated HPA ACCE, which is your hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis. This is really what we're talking about where adrenal health can actually suppress the signal, which then can result in less progesterone and more estrogen, relatively speaking.”
• “A perception from women is that you're not trying to have the hormones that you had in your twenties and thirties when you're in your late forties, fifties, and sixties”
• “Stop drinking alcohol. Don't shoot the messenger! But the alcohol will seriously mess with your excess estrogen.”
