Episode 56: Estrogen Dominance
In this episode, we break down what estrogen dominance actually is, why it’s so common today, and what truly helps—without fear-based food rules or extreme detoxes.
We talk about estrogen dominance as a signaling and balance issue, not just “high estrogen,” and explore how metabolism, insulin resistance, and environmental exposures play a much bigger role than most people realize.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What estrogen dominance really means (and why labs often miss it)
- The role progesterone plays in balancing estrogen
- The three main drivers of estrogen dominance:
- Low progesterone
- Poor estrogen clearance
- Environmental estrogen exposure
- The difference between phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens
- Why whole-food phytoestrogens (including traditional soy) aren’t the problem
- How ultra-processed foods and chemicals drive estrogenic load
- How estrogen dominance affects men as well as women
- The powerful connection between insulin resistance and estrogen dominance
- The highest-impact lifestyle and nutrition shifts that actually matter
Key takeaway
Estrogen dominance isn’t a failure or something to fear.
It’s a signal that your body needs better metabolic support, improved clearance, and a lower environmental burden.
