Estrogen is a hormone present in both men and women that affects reproduction, bone health, cardiovascular function, brain health, and even skin and hair quality. When estrogen levels become imbalanced, it can lead to various health issues including mood disturbances, irregular periods, hot flashes, weight gain, and metabolic problems.

• Estrogen consists of three components: estradiol, estrone, and estriol
• Modern environmental factors and dietary choices contribute to rising estrogen dominance
• Low estrogen commonly occurs during perimenopause, menopause, and after childbirth
• High estrogen is often linked to obesity, fatty liver problems, PCOS, and metabolic issues
• Increasing fiber through vegetables like broccoli and kale helps eliminate excess estrogen
• Supporting liver function with leafy greens enhances detoxification of excess hormones
• Phytoestrogens from sources like flax seeds can help balance estrogen levels
• Avoiding plastic containers, receipt paper, and pesticides reduces exposure to estrogen disruptors
• Supplements like DIM, calcium D-glucarate, and milk thistle support hormone balance
• Natural detoxification through proper hydration and sauna sessions helps manage estrogen levels

For baseline hormone testing, consult with a healthcare provider who can help determine if you have an estrogen imbalance and develop a personalized treatment plan.
