What is estrogen dominance?
Estrogen dominance is a hormonal condition that negatively affects both women and men where the body has:
- Higher levels or prolonged exposure to estrogen,
- Inadequate levels of progesterone to oppose estrogen's stimulating effects
If left unchecked, estrogen dominance can lead to several health issues like:
- Low sex drive
- Development of uterine fibroids and breast cysts
- Hormonal acne and oily skin
- Various menstrual issues - cramps, heavy bleeding, irregular cycles
- Decreased muscle mass and increased body fat
- Sleep issues and fatigue
- Infertility and PCOS (in women)
Some major causes of estrogen dominance are:
- Chronic stress and high cortisol levels
- Xenoestrogens in our food and environment
- Low fiber diets that decrease the excretion of excess estrogen
- Lack of exercise
