ESTROGEN DOMINANCE SYMPTOMS

Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen levels are higher than progesterone levels, and can cause a variety of symptoms:

Menstrual irregularities: Heavy or light bleeding, irregular periods, or painful periods
Breast changes: Tenderness, swelling, fibrocystic breast lumps or cysts
Weight gain: Especially around the waist, hips and thighs
Mood changes: Fatigue, Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
Headaches or migraines: Especially around menstruation
Other symptoms: Fibroids in the uterus, PCOS, decreased sex drive, bloating, hot flashes, insomnia, or difficulty concentrating

Are you suffering with PCOS, Peri-menopause experiencing worsened PMS, heavier periods, irregular or skipping periods, weight gain, hot flashes and/or night sweats, as well as those women in menopause.

Hormonal fluctuation & drop of progesterone is the first hormone to decline, resulting in low progesterone symptoms.

Estrogen levels: It is now understood that rather than declining slowly, estrogen production becomes erratic and unreliable. The more frequent fluctuations in estrogen, along with low progesterone are what produce estrogen dominance symptoms: heavy periods, worsened PMS, sleep problems and hot flashes. Overall, perimenopause is a time of low progesterone and high estrogen.

What is the root cause of “estrogen dominance”?

Ovulation is a key event that is required to produce progesterone and keep estrogen balanced.

Age

As women approach per-menopause & then menopause, your hormone levels fluctuate, which can lead to estrogen dominance.
Medications

Some medications, like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and birth control pills, can increase estrogen levels.
Health conditions

Some health conditions, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and certain cancers, are associated with estrogen dominance.
Stress

Chronic stress can lead to lower progesterone levels, which can cause estrogen dominance.
Diet

Poor diet, including processed foods, sugars, and non-organic dairy products and meats, can contribute to estrogen dominance.
Liver function

If the liver isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to a buildup of excess estrogen.
Gut health

Some types of gut bacteria can make it harder for the body to get rid of excess estrogen.
Environmental factors

Some products used on the skin and hair contain endocrine disruptors that can influence estrogen balance.
Genetics

Some genetic conditions, like aromatase excess syndrome, can cause the body to produce more estrogen than usual.

There is another important contributing factor to estrogen dominance besides high estrogen and low progesterone. It’s to do with how the your body gets rid of the excess estrogen.

Estrogen Metabolism

Did you know that once estrogen is used, it goes to your LIVER to be processed, broken down and “tagged,” then is sent to your intestines to be excreted from your body?

HOW HEALTHY IS YOUR GUT?

That’s right. If you’re not pooping regularly (once or more a day), and if you have certain gut bacteria, you may actually be reabsorbing estrogen back into your blood stream. This is why focusing on gut health is one of the most important pillars of hormone health.

Estrogen metabolism is a complex process that takes place in the liver, kidney, brain, and endometrium.

Estrogen metabolism proceeds in the liver and kidney by conjugation of , epiestriols, and catechol estrogens to glucuronides and sulfates, which are highly water soluble and are rapidly excreted by the kidney. The principle urinary estrogens are the conjugates of estriol and 2-hydroxyestrone

Weight-loss & balancing estrogen dominance:

Estrogen metabolism can be affected by gut health.

A diverse gut microbiome is important for estrogen metabolism, and can be supported by eating fermented foods and taking probiotics.

Eat a diet high in cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
