What is Estrogen Dominance? An In-Depth Look 🔍

Hey there! Let's dive into the world of estrogen dominance - one of those tricky hormonal imbalances that can wreak havoc on your body and quality of life.

But first, what exactly is it? Estrogen dominance occurs when your estrogen levels are out of whack compared to your progesterone levels. It's like having one hormone that's the loud, obnoxious party guest while the other is the wallflower. 👯‍♀️

So how do you know if you're dealing with this hormonal party foul? Here are some common signs:

• Irregular periods 🩸
• Mood swings that would put a teen drama to shame 😠😃
• Tender, swollen breasts (hello, concrete pillows!) 😩
• Sluggish metabolism and weight gain (thanks, estrogen!) 🍩
• Fibroids or endometriosis creeping in uninvited 😖

"Estrogen dominance is one of the most common hormone disorders I see in my practice. It's a real thing, and it's no joke." - Dr. Amy Nett, M.D.

Now, what causes this hot mess? A few culprits:

1. Stress (because of course it is)
2. Poor diet lacking in nutrients
3. Excess body fat (estrogen loves to hang out there)
4. Xenoestrogens (synthetic estrogens found in plastics, pesticides, etc.)

The solution? Getting those hormones back in harmony! 🎶 Things like:

• Diet changes to reduce inflammatory foods
• Supplements like calcium d-glucarate, DIM, and magnesium
• Stress management techniques like yoga/meditation
• And in some cases, bioidentical hormone therapy 💊
