Estrogen Dominance…. Can we Overcome?

Do you remember  Oprah’s infamous car giveaway ? You get a car.. you get a car… and you get a car! Well in this case you have estrogen dominance… you have estrogen dominance and you have estrogen dominance… YES YOU!! Now don’t diagnose yourself, but please tell your doctor your symptoms and have the appropriate test to confirm

If you have some of the symptoms listed and not listed in my previous post  and it has been confirmed with your physician, there is still hope. As mentioned in Estrogen Dominance: What does that really mean? (previous post) a diet low in fiber, environmental factors and overloading the liver can create a hormonal imbalance and DING DING DING! You guessed it Estrogen Dominance. As mentioned before, diets without a lot a fiber causes a decrease in movement of material in the digestive system and increase in estrogen storage, therefore increase your fiber intake. Eat fiber rich foods such as whole grains, beans, and berries ( to name a few) to increase movement of GI tract to facilitate regular bowel movements which leads to excreting more estrogen.

Who enjoys a nice cocktail with dinner or just after a long day at work ? ME! (hand raised high). Doesn’t that drink relax you and take away of the stressors of that moment, well it also impairs the liver. Alcohol consumptions, environmental toxins, and drugs can impair liver function and decreases its ability to filter toxins and detoxify the body, hence the liver can’t filter excess estrogen. With the liver being impaired, estrogen cannot be filtered properly and recirculates in the body.

Lastly, environmental factors i.e xenoestrogens , and they are everywhere, the only alternative is to try to limit our exposure to them. Start with washing all of your fruits and veggies thoroughly, eat organic (please refer to the dirty dozen and clean fifteen) , eat organic meat and wild caught fish, and I urge you to  stop warming your food in plastic containers- use glass or porcelain instead. By doing the things above, you limit your exposure to pesticides, dioxins, PCB, growth hormone given to livestock/poultry and decrease the amount of xenoestrogen in your body. With less exposure to xenoestrogen, the game can be avoided where the hormone receptors in your body are tricked  by mimicking our estrogen.

How can we over come estrogen dominance? By have a diet rich in phytonutrients that bind to estrogen cell receptors and protect them from accepting xenoestrogens, a diet rich in fiber, decrease alcohol intake and decrease environmental factors. By doing all those things the hormonal balance can be reestablished, decrease the symptoms that drive you up the wall each month and possibly decrease uterine fibroid size. I can testify that by doing all the things mentioned in this post along with exercise and positive thinking,  your symptoms will decrease and your monthly flow will not be as cumbersome.

Balance in the most divine form
