You’ve Googled the symptoms and now you’re wondering—do I have estrogen dominance? In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most common (and misunderstood) hormone concerns. While symptoms like bloating, PMS, breast tenderness, heavy periods, and mood swings are often blamed on high estrogen, the truth is more nuanced. I break down what estrogen dominance actually means, why symptoms can be misleading, and how low progesterone or poor detox pathways can mimic them. I’ll share what I look for on a hormone test, how your liver and gut impact hormone clearance, and the key nutrients and lifestyle shifts that support hormone balance. If your symptoms have been dismissed and you’re ready for real answers, this episode is for you.
