Estrogen dominance - Rebalance Hormone Clinic

What is Estrogen Dominance?

Estrogen dominance is a hormonal imbalance where the body has higher levels of estrogen compared to progesterone. It's a common issue, especially for women approaching menopause, but can also affect younger ladies. Let's break it down, shall we?

What Causes Estrogen Dominance?

Well, there are a few potential causes:

• Excess body fat can increase estrogen production since fat cells produce estrogen.
• Xenoestrogens (estrogen-like compounds found in some plastics, pesticides, and cosmetics) can mimic estrogen in the body.
• Stress can disrupt hormone balance and lead to estrogen dominance.
• Good ol' aging – as women approach menopause, estrogen levels can fluctuate wildly.

Symptoms of Estrogen Dominance

You might be wondering, "How do I know if I have estrogen dominance?" Here are some common signs:

• Irregular or heavy periods
• Fibrocystic breasts
• Weight gain (especially around the hips and thighs)
• Mood swings and irritability
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Foggy brain (can't seem to concentrate)

Sound familiar? Don't worry, you're not alone.

How to Overcome Estrogen Dominance

Thankfully, there are ways to get your hormones back in balance:

1. Eat a hormone-balancing diet – load up on cruciferous veggies, healthy fats, and fiber.
2. Exercise regularly – this can help reduce excess body fat and manage stress.
3. Avoid xenoestrogens – ditch those plastic containers and switch to natural cleaning products.
4. Consider hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – talk to a professional like the experts at Rebalance Hormone Clinic to see if HRT is right for you.
