- Are you dealing with symptoms of estrogen dominance such as bloating, breast tenderness, irregular cycles or moodiness? Wonder if your hormones are to blame for headaches, anxiety, increased belly fat or even hair loss? We'll review what exactly estrogen dominance is, common symptoms, and 6 ways to reduce estrogen dominance.
Estrogen dominance is either the excess of estrogen circulating in the body or the dominance of estrogen due to insufficient countering hormones including progesterone for women and testosterone for men. This hormonal imbalance is especially common when dealing with rapid weight gain or weight loss, hormonal birth control use and exposure to toxins and endocrine disruptors and can impact women at any stage from cycling to menopausal as well as men. Learn about the symptoms and causes of estrogen dominance and how to reduce exposures in your day-to-day life. Plus we walk you through foods, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations.

Ive been struggling with endometriosis, and im so mad that my doctor just told me that birth control was the only way to manage it, so im hoping a huge diet change will really help
yes it is wild how they just put a band-aid on it. Here is another resource on endo: www.naturallynourishedrd.com/podcast/naturally-nourished-episode-145-endometriosis-and-infertility/
Consuming seaweed on a regular basis throughout each month has really helped me with the pain management and shrinking cysts.
Doctors are taught fundamental the opposite of helping Humanity thanks to the Rockerfellars. Be your own Doctor.
birth control has so many side effects
Same case is with me ,my endometrial lining is also thick ,so in order to deal with it my gynae suggest me to take oral contraceptive pill (OCP) ,i was stunned that birth control pill is not healthy to take on a regular basis . I am also looking for a natural cure to manage my estrogen level , please help me .
We all have to remember that doctors are not nutritionists. They are not trained on over all health. There are soooo many professions in the health world and unfortunately as children, we are not taught much about how to manage and take care of our bodies uniquely. It's up to us to seek and educate ourselves and listen to our bodies and utilize tools like the internet to figure out what resources we should be seeking help for. A professional is always the best option, but if you're on a budget, trying to learn some things yourself is better than not making changes at all! Be kind to yourself! And PLEASE just realize that there are many levels to health. Stress management, eating healthy for your own unique needs, being social and part of your community, exercising and learning how to weight train, getting your sleep and drinking your water and managing bad habits like alchohol or smoking! xoxoxox I hope you all find the help you need!
Just went to a naturopathic doctor and she suggested my diet should include what you talk about her. Im estrogen dominant. She also recommended supplements that you mentioned as well. I have eliminated dairy. She recommended progesterone birth control- switch from progest and estro one I was taking before.This is great ladies thank you.
Sounds like you're on the right path! Love to hear it

This was good ladies. Thanks so much
Our pleasure!
I just viewed this video and it’s very helpful and informative for my condition. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for listing the studies you discussed so I can share them with people! I also liked the idea about adding flax to things! Thank you!
Great! Happy to provide all these resources for sharing and supporting your friends and family!
Great information. I’m a triple positive breast cancer survivor now for 6 years. I’m on anastrozole. I would like to take CoQ10 for migraines but heard that it increases estrogen levels. What are your thoughts about this?
For migraines look at magnesium
Thank you so much. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
i think its crazy this doesnt have more views! thank you ladies!
Awwww thanks! Appreciate you positive feedback...please share
Wish you ladies mentioned how hormones fluctuate during peri-menopause. I always had normal to lower levels of estrogen. I had my hormones checked in January and my progesterone 11.9, estradiol 20.6 and FSH 23.3 and DHEA was 175 and in March progesterone dropped to 1.4, estradiol jumped to 360, FSH dropped to 2.3 and DHEA dropped to 135 (because she tested on the second day of my cycle vs day 21 like she did last time. My doctor suggested taking DIM, vitex and maca. In the morning, I always have warm lemon water with ACV. I also make a turmeric drink. I eat mainly plants, organic and exercise. Limit plastic. So, I was very surprised when she mentioned dominance.
Please is constant headaches/migraines high or low Estrogen?😢😢😢
I just had a mastectomy.
Had a complete hysterectomy 30 years ago. Taking Premarin for 29 years. Breast cancer diagnosis; estrogen and progesterone receptive. Stopping Premarin Hormones.
But they want me to do Hormone Blockers Arimidex
So many awful side affects.
I just can’t take that.
Will the protocol you suggest in this wonderfully informative video be the answer to my prayers. 🙏 and at least lower my estrogen production. I also am losing weight to help lower estrogen production.
Thank you for the info! Would maca be best used after ovulation to support luteal phase? Would it interrupt the follicular phase getting ready for ovulation?
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
It’s funny I came across y’all on fb and now I found y’all on here and i really would love to try your products

Chronic stress yesss..my anxiety levels in the morning are thru the roof. I don't sleep so I wake up anxious when I stand I'm woozy and exhausted which triggers panic.
I'm a mess. Jesus.
Same here , work related 😢
Literally went and bought everything in this video after watching. Thanks ladies 💗
Awesome! Keep us posted on results
Hi...How's ur health? Can u share with us
thank you! super practical tips!! 👏
You're so welcome!
i cut out junk food& no longer have pcos over 4 years now
Yes so much is connected to insulin resistance
Wow Thank you for sheer, your story girls I am have PCOS too what can i do bring my oestrogeen cyles back.?
Great video!!
what if I have blood cloths and a lot of bleeding during menstruation, but my cycle comes evert 28 days. I got also low ferritin and hemoglobin. is that estrogen dominance? I did lab test and all good...
Yes I believe so as heavy periods was one of my signs. Try gluten free maybe.
In this video they spoke about
-zinc
- support liver. Apple cider vinegar
- broccoli, cauliflower, (dim supplement)
- progesterone. Magnesium glycinate. Citrus.
- stress.
- poop daily balance microfibre. Fibre. Flaxseed.
- prune cranberry
I was on hormonal Birth control for 17 years... I am off now..But having major issues with stubborn belly fat and just gaining and gaining weight and not being able to loose it no matter what I do..It was the same while I was on the IUD....I feel really discouraged because I have tried EVERYTHING. I have done big detoxes..I take liver support. I have done the reset shakes...I cut out dairy and gluten I eat healthy... what I usually eat in a day is a super low acid decaf coffee to start my day, using only creamer like a natural coconut milk,,and I sometimes combine it with protein powder...I have a orgain dairy free organic protein shake later in the day as breakfast..I have only a small salad at work and I eat a home cooked gluten free dinner..wich is literally my only meal of the day. I have gone long stretches without sugar carbs and alcohol...Only to maybe loose 2 pounds that I gain right back... I take Cytozyme F. (this actually helps me alot around my period, as it reduces alot of those uncomfortable symptoms like sore breast, acne etc) other than that I have found very very little success in anything.
I'd recommend our 10 day detox as a starting point and perhaps our Beat the Bloat Cleanse as we know birth control can disrupt the microbiome and you are having acne.
Hei, i had similar issues. Did you try increasing fiber ?
I found that nothing changed until I increased fiber to 30g a day ( fiber from low carb sources) ,combined with a low carb diet and I started melting. Maybe it would help, If you did not try it already.
Sorry to hear that but just keep learning and trying I've just been treated for breast cancer so I'm trying to cut out estrogen,❤so need foods to stop it feeding my breast cancer estrogen, blocking foods anyone that can give me any to use would be a great help,,all stay well y health is the most important thing
@@ellanola6284,,,there needs to be course on fasting for women, because of what time in life you are or you can un balance you health more
I d heard we can't eat enough brock but using micro greens brok sprouts ect are 50 times stronger with solfuraphane which helps fight breast cancer
This was super helpful, subscribed! Thank you
Awesome, thank you!
Hello I’ve just been told my endometrial lining is too thick … I’m about 8 kg overweight and my hair has fallen out by 60%…. It was so much ticker when I was internmittant fasting and low carb…. My iron has dropped very quickly as well and another thing my body Oder is terrible! Which is very unusual for me as i havnt really ever had body Odour before …. Is that another sign of easteogen dominance
I’d suggest using Berberine to aid in breaking down tissue build up look into my Berberine Boost and the 10-day detox on my site
I heard that chia seeds are better than flax seeds. Chia seeds have zinc and no estrogen hormone while flax seed have estrogen. Can you please reply to this comment? Thanks.
Great informative video! My question is how does maca work? Does it increase estrogen levels or does it lower? I tried maca for a month and got really bad cystic acne on the jaw area from it. Was it because it additionally increased my estrogen levels?
Maca stimulates the pituitary gland and aids in progesterone predominantly, however in estrogen dominant individuals I have seen it drive symptoms like you are describing. You might want to consider our 10 Day Detox to help to reset hormone levels and even stick with 1 detox pack daily ongoing and/or the Broccodetox that we discuss in this video.
Interesting.maca made my throat seize up. Interesting to think maybe in a year I could try again once my hormones are good.
Read my above post.
I thought its the male hormone that causes acne but you need to check
Is there a cookbook recommended or recipes based on these superfoods to fight estrogen dominance?
alimillerrd.com/pages/estrogen-dominance-protocol Check out this protocol with recipes linked
Have had two breast cancer surgeries back to back RADIATION treatments i CANNOT handle MEDICATION to block estrogen upset struggling
BroccoDetox would be a great starting point that is much more gentle.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you use if got under active thyroid?
Super curious if estrogen dominance is behind cervical polyps (benign), and curious if these can shrink naturally by balancing estrogen? Currently transitioning from paleo to more plant based. Would I need to get rid of meat and eggs entirely? Even organic?
Yes estrogen dominance can drive polyps, cysts and fibroids. Check out our Inflammazyme product to help to reduce size. To be clear, we would not recommend a plant based diet in this case as the high soy and plant compounds can be unfavorable for estrogen dominance. Paleo is a great choice.
Great Chanel Thx :)
Welcome!
Lorna vanderhaeugh (spelling) products .her own line, and a product called Broccogen seem to help me a bit now too.
great info. Do you think you ladies can incorporate some wireless/wired microphones? it was kinda hard to hear you .... :)
Thanks for watching! We're learning all the technical production things as we go and hope to improve the quality of production as we grow :) Great suggestion though and we're planning to test it out.
Is citrus bioflavonoids capsules good to shrink multiple fibroids .i am allergic eating any citrus fruits .
I just found out your video and subscribed.
Awesome! Spread the word :)
@@naturallynourishedRD I did
Milk kefir from organic hormone free milk okay to consume?
I want to know this too!
I am lean and have alot of symptoms of pcos but no cysts… facial hair, high androgens, higher testosterone, 40-50 day cycle, bad anxiety and depression, bloating … I’m eating all the right foods & exercising. Trying to get pregnant but difficult on such a long cycle
Check out our video all about PCOS for more support! Definitely bring in Relax & regulate at 2 scoops/day ua-cam.com/video/_OYcDnBNhfs/v-deo.html
Hei, maybe try inositol (combination of myo and d-chiro inositol). It helped me and a friend with menstrual cycles and fertility A LOT. It also does not take long to have an effect. There is also a bunc of reshearch on it .
@@zaraahmedov3456What is that.?
I am going through it for years! Pcos, period problems etc!!! I needed this!!
Glad we could help!

Try broccoli & cauliflower & Metamucil (psyllium husk). Also try intermittent fasting with a doctors approval
Try DIM supplements or cruciferous vegetables are a natural alternative.
I bought dim 1 week ago. I feel detox symptoms
Love, love, loveeee your videos. Thanks
Awesome happy to hear it
My mom has had many issues due to her ectopic left kidney.. She recently found out black maca causes thyroid dysfunction and so she stopped the maca and diatomaceous food grade earth dirt for now, because she eats very healthy, but gained SO much weight.
A gentle keto approach might be a good solution for weight loss, check out our keto program alimillerrd.com/products/ketosis-program
Amazing video - love the info
Thank you!!
This was great! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
So, If we reverse the Estrogen level this gynocomacia will be gone naturally?
Very helpful video thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for such a helpful video! I am gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian...concerned about cutting out soy products since this is one of my prime sources of protein. Do you have recommendations on what are some proteins to substitute that don't aggravate the estrogen dominance?
Lentils, beans, grains
legumes like lentils (there's big variety) chickpeas, peas, beans.
Pumfu!! It’s tofu without the soy and only made with pumpkin seed!
Eggs would be a great choice and I would consider at least adding fish
@@ArubaRedOfficialisn't tofu made of soy?
Citrus? What about grapefruit, been reading a lot of articles about how post menopause intake of grapefruit can increase breast cancer risk.
I’ve seen more clinical impact of nobilin in citrus as benefit than concern
WhAt water are we supposed to drink If tap water and bottled water are bad for you?
We have a whole podcast on water filtration and reverse osmosis
Very Expensive!
Any Other alternatives?
Thanks for the informative information.
Glad it was helpful!
I was just told I have a small cyst on my ovary and need birth control to reduce it. Something just doesn't sound right.
Make these diet changes and start on Inflammazyme and Relax and regulate
I am struggling with breast fibrosis i took hormonal medicines for too long now as they were initiated by my gynaecologist. I don't want to intake more hormonal medicines. I want to go naturally

I am very sick from this
I'm in same boat
Same here too
Start with our 10 Day Detox!
I’ve tested nutritional allergies twice and did microbiome testing and broccoli showed up as NO. Is the broccoli detox different than eating broccoli? Sounds odd but sometimes the process of drying and processing changes things. I wondered this about micro greens. Can you eat things in that form that you wouldn’t eat in “grown up” veggies? I’ll research on myself but thought I’d ask. 😊
That's a good question ,,if you find anything passon info,,,I'm trying yo find estrogen blocking foods as I've B cancer, so trying to do meat start of meal then veg as the veg stops nutrients getting through,,
What about perimenauposl struggling 5 years of uterine fibroid ???
Yes all of the recommendations in this video apply, especially the BroccoDetox and Relax and regulate.
Hi , how to improve progesterone during pregnancy? Would you please advise! My progesterone is low ups and down like 19/15/17 now im 6 weeks with bleeding and don’t want to miscarriage 😭please help is there anything. Thank 💐💐
Hi, what do you recommend for shrinking fibroids? And what kind of meals/ diets/ supplements? I have 3, one about 2.5cm, one about 4.6cm, and one about 8.3cm. I'm on birthcontrol pills because the fibroids causes debilitating cramps during my time of month. I think I was able to shrink them about 6 years ago but about 2 years ago between getting the covid shot, starting a new job, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism so I was put on that medication, and my sleep schedule is out of whack (I get less than 7hrs of sleep, mainly my fault 75% of the time), idk if it was any of those but I gained 10pounds, looks bloated, and my fibroids grew and my periods went from 3-5 days to 7 days. I was thinking of going back on Intermittent Fasting because that might've helped me lose weight and shrink the fibroids. Not really concerned about the weight part, but more concerned about shrinking my fibroids, gain more energy because I always feel drained, and get rid of bloating, and regulate my gut health
Detox your liver in milk thistle extract
Sea kelp is best for fibroid or cyct

Sorry to hear :( We offer 1-on-1 client service if you are interested.
How can you get your protein if you have estrogen dominance?
We still highly recommend animal protein as the amino acids support detox of estrogen and would have less estrogenic influence vs. plant based proteins like soy, etc. You might hold off on dairy but otherwise protein is a go as long as well sourced (no growth hormone!)
@@naturallynourishedRD is local goat milk ok?
May I ask what to do if your testosterone is high as a female?
Relax & Regulate at 2 scoops to start, check out this video as all applies to both high DHEA and high Testosterone ua-cam.com/video/_OYcDnBNhfs/v-deo.html
@@naturallynourishedRD is it true that PCOS women have estrogen dominance (over progesterone) and high testosterone?

Is Relax and Regulate OK for men trying to boost testosterone?
Yes and great for sperm health including motility
Are these supps independent or being sold by you ? I don’t like buying non nutraceutical/medical grade supplements. Where’s you’re quality info ?
alimillerrd.com/pages/why-naturally-nourished-supplements
Can hypo thyroid patients take dim supplements?
Yes but I would only take if you test with high Estradiol on a salivary panel. Otherwise I would recommend the BroccoDetox.
I❤this.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment.
Can you please answer me something? I really need an answer and need to know... Which is the following doubt: how long should i be taking these supplements to see results? (in my case to reduce estrogen because of cysts on breasts? Does someone knows and can respond, please? I really need to know...) And can I take all of these supplements or just one to see results?
It would be relative based on the level of estrogen dominance or severity of cysts. Generally at least 6-12 months of consistency and I’d start with 2-4 focused formulas.
@@naturallynourishedRD is this because of high estrogen? Could a person take 2 formulas together at the same time? for example one pill at 8 am / 8pm and another different brand and product at 11 am and 11 pm? Is DIM indicated for this? And Estrogen reducers? Do I need estrogen blood test? I am making liver detox already. Have 3 breast cysts. I got them while taking Nystatin. Do you think if I stop Nystatin, they will go away slowly? Is damage to liver this permanent? I do not have any more symptoms besides 3 cyst breast lumps. I do not have more problems else where in my body. Doctors here do not tell me how to resolve this issue. I really need your response.
Thank you ?!!!!
Hello, I have a high estrogen for 1 month. Does this indicate cancer?
No but it does increase your risk be sure to support your estrogen metabolism and detox pathways as discussed in video
I have for 6 years....
How can a man test for estrogen metabolism?
You can test estradiol levels in the blood
Help I am estrogen dominant 😢
Did you try our tips?
DIM made me bloat and feel terrible, definitely not for eveeyone❤
My dr is doing nothing, he wont even check my hormones or basic panels for liver...
Even though I have very clear elevated eateogen...instead he wants to put me on a progesterone implant.
My menses is completely normal, used to be very heavy and clotty but not any longer ...HOWEVER
I have an estrogen migraine two days before my menses, and its truly the worst migraine type ive ever experienced. Completely debilitating, not reaponsive to oharmaceutical or natural therapies... up to 60 hrs of high elevated pain with vomiting and no ability to drink water /eat
I dont have bowel issues but i do have chronic bloating and I know my microbiome is messed, been working on it.
Outside of that, rapid weight gain even with no change in exercise or diet ...its just a crap shoot and I know im not supposed to feel this way.
So im going to follow your detox and likely check out your products... But do you have any other insights
Get a new doctor for sure! We have a new podcast this month coming out on hormone testing and we offer labs on our website.
@@naturallynourishedRD so much easier said than done, I had to wait four years before getting a GP after my last one retired. In BC we have over 900k without a family Dr. It's a crisis.... But it also allows us to really begin natural healing and listening to our bodies, becoming our own advocate.. but it's hard.... However, super grateful for channels like yours, where you're offering a helping guide internationally.
Do you treat Canadians ?
Eyes wide open
I heard that grapefruit was actually high in Estrogen? Non?
No inositol in citrus is helpful
very low volume in your video
Sorry, we'll pump it up for the next videos. Thanks for the feedback
amenorrhea?
loss of cycle
Wrong about soy! The latest research shows soy is actually good to control healthy levels of estrogen. Plenty of nutritional doctors talk about it now. Soy has been demonstrated because of a study done on mice, but later, it showed it does NOT have the same effect on humans.
There is bad soy that will increase estrogen levels
I am highly ALLERGIC to alot of THINGS
GI Lining Support would be a great start to reduce overall allergic response. I also recommend doing a probiotic challenge to assess the state of your microbiome.
Annoying hand gestures.
Thanks for your helpful feedback.
So rude blue otter 😒
Why do you recommend flax_ it is estrogenic.
Actually it corrects the estrogen quotient increasing E3 or estriol to aid in balance
