Episode 81: Understanding Estrogen Dominance—What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Balance It

If you’ve ever struggled with PMS, heavy periods, mood swings, or stubborn weight gain, you’re going to want to tune in—because estrogen dominance could be the culprit.

Estrogen is an essential hormone that keeps your body running smoothly, but when it’s out of balance, things can get messy—fast. And here’s the kicker: estrogen dominance isn’t just about having “too much estrogen.” It’s about having too much in relation to progesterone or not clearing excess estrogen effectively.

In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, I’m breaking down:
🔥 What estrogen dominance actually is (it’s more than just high estrogen!)
🔥 Why so many women—especially in perimenopause—are dealing with this imbalance
🔥 The hidden connection between estrogen dominance, thyroid issues, weight gain, and mood swings
🔥 How stress, poor detoxification, and xenoestrogens (hello, plastics and skincare products!) make things worse
🔥 Simple, effective ways to balance estrogen naturally—from liver support to blood sugar management

If you’re ready to take control of your hormones and stop feeling like a victim of your cycle, this episode is for you!
