302// Estrogen Dominance Explained: Symptoms, Signs, and the Real Causes of High Estrogen

Have you been diagnosed with estrogen dominance recently - and your doctor recommended taking birth control to control it, but you're wondering WHY your estrogen is high to begin with?

Or, do you have no testing confirming that you have high estrogen, but you're suspicious you may have it based on your symptoms? And, you're wondering how you can naturally balance your hormones again?

Or, have you tried to take supplements or do things to balance your hormones, but nothing has worked, and you're wondering WHY your hormones just won't get balanced?

If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you.

Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not.

Today’s topic is: estrogen dominance.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

1. What estrogen dominance is
2. Symptoms of high estrogen
3. Why estrogen dominance isn't a real root cause
4. The 5 causes of high estrogen
5. What tests you need to see exactly which root causes you're dealing with
6. Why estrogen dominance supplements aren't enough - and what do to instead to lower your estrogen levels

And one more thing — I’m doing something fun for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals.

If you’re a visual learner, or you want the big picture laid out clearly, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode.

Because when you stop fighting high estrogen like it’s your primary enemy... and start addressing what’s actually driving it up — that’s when you get balanced hormones.
