Elevated estrogen is a common issue at any age—teenagers, perimenopause, and even menopause. ✨ Common causes include: High stress (mental, emotional, or physical) from poor diet, inadequate sleep, or gut imbalances. Elevated stress increases cortisol, which lowers progesterone. Since progesterone balances estrogen, low progesterone leads to high estrogen symptoms. Exposure to xenoestrogens—toxic chemicals that mimic estrogen. This is a growing issue due to plastics, non-organic dairy and meat, and personal care products. Remember, anything applied to our skin is absorbed into our body! Poor estrogen clearance. Estrogen is processed through a two-step detox in the liver, requiring proper nutrients and daily bowel movements. Impaired clearance leads to estrogen recirculating in a more toxic form. Insulin resistance and poor metabolic health increase body fat, which produces more estrogen. Gut health imbalances. High levels of beta-glucuronidase-producing bacteria inhibit estrogen clearance, allowing reabsorption into the body. 👉 Stay tuned for our next video on actionable steps to lower estrogen and restore balance! 💥if you want help balancing hormones lets talk.💕
