EXCESS OESTROGEN 🚺
Ladies listen up 🙋🏼♀️...
If you missed me on radio tonight Bay 93.9 Geelong talking all about excess estrogen, don’t worry! I’ve got you covered.. this is such an important topic...and as per usual I had way too much info to get through on air (yes I could chat a leg off a chair 😝) ... so here’s the low down...
Excess estrogen is definitely one of the most common types of hormonal imbalance I see in clinic! The most common symptoms women with oestrogen dominance complain of are PMS and irritability, heavy and clotted periods, period pain, breast fullness and tenderness, headaches before or with their period, hormonal acne, bloating, thrush, fluid retention and hormonal weight gain. Ladies, this is not normal!! 🙅🏼♀️
While these symptoms may be common, they are really annoying and uncomfortable, they are most definitely treatable.
My main concern is that long term untreated oestrogen dominance can also lead to the formation of fibroids, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease and worst case scenario, oestrogen related cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer.
Not something we should be turning a blind eye to and most certainly not something we should be just masking with a quick-fix solution such as the pill or marina/IUD.
While these treatments may give you some symptomatic relief, sadly they are not treating the underlying hormonal imbalance. They definitely have a roll to play as contraceptives, but I’m sorry to break it to you, they most certainly do not ‘fix’ hormonal imbalances.
To find out what you can do.. I’ve written a blog with ALL the info you need! Check out the link below for all the info: the main causes of excess estrogen.. and more importantly, the best diet and lifestyle tips you can easily implement to get your estrogen back under control 👊🏻💖
