5. Estrogen Dominance: PMS, Heavy Periods & More
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Happy Cycle Show, we explore estrogen dominance and how it can show up as PMS, heavy or painful periods, bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, headaches, and more. We break down what estrogen dominance really is, why it’s so common, and how stress, gut and liver health, and exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals play a major role.
We discuss where these hormone-disrupting chemicals are hiding, why healthy liver and gut detoxification is essential for clearing excess estrogen, and how this directly impacts your cycle. You’ll also learn simple, practical ways to support estrogen balance, including reducing toxic load, supporting digestion and bowel regularity, eating in 3 simple foods to support detoxification, and more.
If PMS or heavy periods are affecting your quality of life, this episode will help you understand the root causes and what you can start doing today to better support your hormones and cycle.
