Estrogen dominance - Balance Hormone Clinic

What is estrogen dominance?

Estrogen dominance occurs when there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, with estrogen becoming predominant. This condition is quite common among women, especially during certain phases of life when estrogen production is higher, such as puberty, perimenopause and menopause.

Some key signs and symptoms of estrogen dominance include:

• Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding
• Bloating, water retention and weight gain
• Fibrocystic breasts
• Mood swings, anxiety and depression
• Fatigue and low energy
• Reduced sex drive
• Hair loss
• Cold hands and feet
• Trouble sleeping

There are a few potential causes for this hormonal imbalance:

• Elevated production of estrogen in the body
• Disrupted elimination of estrogen through the liver and gut
• Exposure to xenoestrogens (estrogen-mimicking compounds) in foods, plastics and beauty products
• Chronic stress
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Obesity

To address estrogen dominance, it’s important to focus on rebalancing hormones naturally. This can be achieved through:

• Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage to improve estrogen metabolism
• Taking targeted herbal supplements like DIM and Calcium d-Glucarate
• Reducing intake of alcohol, refined carbs and sugar
• Exercising regularly to improve estrogen clearance
• Practicing stress management techniques
• Getting proper thyroid testing
