The only thing you want to lower is xynoestrogens (synthetic or external estrogens) found in commercial skin care products, perfumes, and cleaning products. Most women with ED do not suffer because of too much estrogen but because they are not breaking down and evacuating these estrogens well enough. You want estrogen (or else you won’t be well as a woman), just the right type and the right metabolites. Misconception #2: I need to lower my estrogen intake and avoid food high in estrogens (called phytoestrogens, such as flaxseed) because I’m already estrogen dominant. This is why so many women who enter peri- and menopause, in spite of low estrogen levels, develop ER+ (estrogen receptor positive) breast cancers. It’s the estrogen metabolites (I call them the “dirty” estrogens) that cause it – not too much overall estrogen. Misconception #1: I’m headed for peri- and menopause, I can’t have estrogen dominance since my estrogen levels are dropping.Įven though your estrogen might be dropping, the way the estrogens get broken down is what causes the ED symptoms. So many of our readers believe in these, to their detriment: I call them the “dirty” estrogens.ĭue to a poor liver function, inappropriate diet, nutritional deficiencies, gut issues, chronic constipation, and use of “conventional” skincare and cleaning products, your body is receiving and/or creating too much of the antagonistic or “dirty” estrogen metabolites that cause harm. Reason #2: The way your body is breaking down estrogens to the various estrogenic metabolites, is not favorable to you.

Reason #1: You have insufficient progesterone to oppose estradiol, the “aggressive” estrogen that has been connected to the growth of pathogenic cells like in the case of fibroids, cancers, and endometrial tissue. How so? Let’s Understand Estrogen Dominance (ED, in Short) First Note: Even though you might be headed for peri- and menopause, you can still be experiencing estrogen dominance.
