How to Detox Estrogen Naturally
Estrogen dominance refers to having TOO MUCH estrogen in relation to progesterone.
We NEED estrogen, but having too much causes major problems!
Estrogen AND progesterone need to be kept in balance; part of progesterone's job is to keep estrogen levels in check.
Progesterone is your calming, pro-thyroid, relaxing, nurturing, anti-stress, anti-aging hormone. But….you ONLY make it if you're ovulating.
Balance is key.
ARE YOU ESTROGEN DOMINANT?
Common symptoms include:
sore boobs before your period
mood swings
bloating before periods
period cramps, back pain
PCOS
uterine fibroids
ovarian cysts
weight gain
menstrual headaches
So….HOW DO YOU REMOVE ESTROGEN?!
REMOVE INFLAMMATORY FOODS
Limit processed foods, refined sugars, and white flours. The goal is to CALM inflammation. Go through your cabinets and throw away any polyunsaturated fats like canola, peanut, sunflower, Crisco, and vegetable oils. These fats are a sure way to f*ck up your hormones!
2. SHOW YOUR LIVER SOME TLC
Eat a wide variety of grass-fed, pasture-raised, organic animal protein to help aid in liver detoxification. Maybe be adventurous and add in some beef liver!
3. DETOX YOUR HOUSE
Ditch traditional household cleaners which disrupt normal hormone functioning. Look for clean brands that are non-toxic. Throw away plastic food storage and replace with glass. Swap your non-stick pans for cast iron or stainless steel.
4. NUTRIENTS + MINERALS
Most women are "eating healthy" but still deficient in micronutrients. Add the rainbow to your diet, try all different kinds of veggies!
5. POOP DAILY
You MUST be having at least 1 good bowel movement daily to flush out that estrogen. Not pooping EVERY SINGLE DAY? Hint: your metabolism is out of whack!
6. SUPPORT PROGESTERONE
It's not ALL just about estrogen because we need healthy levels of progesterone to offset estrogen. So…how do you do that, you ask? Sleep, lower stress, eat Vitamin C-rich food!
