Episode 45: Is Estrogen Dominance Behind Your PCOS, Fibroids, or Heavy Periods? The Metabolic Root Cause That HRT Alone Will Never Fix

Send us your questions & comments If you've ever been told your symptoms are just a result of estrogen and progesterone declining, this episode will change how you see everything. In this episode I unpack one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed hormone imbalances in midlife women: estrogen dominance. I will be clearing up the confusion that stops so many women from recognizing it. Because yes, you can absolutely be estrogen dominant even as your estrogen is declining! In this episode you'll learn: What estrogen dominance actually is — and why the ratio of estrogen to progesterone matters more than your estrogen levels alone Why impaired estrogen metabolism — not just the amount of estrogen being produced — is driving conditions like PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, and heavy periods What the estrobolome is and how your gut bacteria could be recirculating estrogen and making everything worse Why breast cancer risk is far more within your control than you've been told Three specific, actionable steps you can start today to support your body's ability to clear estrogen properly This is the episode that explains why a hormone test alone will never give you the full picture — and why a personalized, metabolic approach is the missing piece.
