Are you feeling that familiar tenderness, swelling, or lumpiness? You're not alone. For many women, this discomfort is linked to an imbalance known as "unopposed oestrogen," where oestrogen levels are high relative to progesterone.
Oestrogen can stimulate breast tissue, leading to that cystic feeling. But here's the good news: you have the power to influence this balance! Progesterone acts as the soothing, stabilising force for breast tissue. When its levels dipโdue to natural cycles, peri/menopause, or stressโoestrogen can take over.
Likewise, a well-functioning liver and gut are essential players, ensuring old oestrogen is broken down and cleared from the body, preventing it from recycling back and causing issues.
By focusing on smart nutrition, you can powerfully support your body's natural oestrogen detoxification and balancing act.
Beyond your plate, be mindful of external factors that can mimic oestrogen in the body (known as xenoestrogens). Choose innovation in your lifestyle by avoiding:
๐๐ป Plastics (especially those containing BPA)
๐๐ป Processed Dairy and Conventional Meat
๐๐ป Personal Care Products with chemicals like parabens
Integrating these strategies is not just about breast comfort; it's about fostering whole-body hormonal well-being.
