Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen levels are too high relative to other s*x hormones—especially progesterone. This hormonal imbalance can wreak havoc on your reproductive, mental, and skin health, but the effects don’t stop there 😵💫
Estrogen dominance is not only about weight gain and PMS, it is a major risk factor for several health conditions, including:
🩸 Increased risk of endometrial cancer – excess estrogen can overstimulate the uterine lining, leading to abnormal cell growth.
🫧 Uterine fibroids – estrogen fuels the growth of fibrous tumors in the uterus.
⚠️ Endometriosis – research indicates a strong link between estrogen dominance and endometriosis.
👩 Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) – commonly associated with high estrogen, low progesterone, and low thyroid function.
🐌 Thyroid dysfunction – often linked to hypothyroidism, as excess estrogen can interfere with thyroid hormone function.
🫀 Cardiovascular disease – estrogen dominance can increase clotting risk.
🦠 Mast Cell Activation and Increased Histamine Intolerance
What can you do?
Balancing estrogen AND progesterone naturally is key to preventing these risks.
