Estrogen dominance occurs when a woman has excessive levels of estrogen relative to progesterone. This hormonal imbalance can develop due to several factors:
- Excess body fat - Fat cells produce estrogen, so overweight and obese women are more prone to high estrogen
- Chronic stress - Stress hormones reduce progesterone production which tilts the balance towards estrogen dominance
- Environmental toxins - Xenoestrogens from plastics, cosmetics etc act like estrogen in the body
- Nutritional deficiencies - Low magnesium, zinc, vitamins B6, B12 etc impair estrogen detoxification
Symptoms of estrogen dominance include:
- Heavy, painful, or irregular periods
- PMS, mood swings, depression
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Weight gain, bloating and water retention
- Foggy thinking and memory lapses
- Headaches and migraines
- Reduced libido
- Infertility, miscarriages
