Not only a sexual hormone, estrogen plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis, bone metabolism, brain function, memory, aging, and lipid homeostasis. That’s not it ! It has a broader role to play in females as well as males.

Estrogen dominance is a metabolic state where the level of estrogen outweighs the level of progesterone in the body.  

Why there is a need to correct these imbalances ?

• The abnormal hormonal level leads to the accumulation of toxic end products of metabolism such as 4-hydroxy estrogen which has been clearly implicated in causing hormone-dependent cancers and various other hormone-dependent disorders.
• Balance of estrogens and estrogen metabolites is essential to reduce the risk of a variety of health conditions, including cancers and chronic diseases.

It is very critical to know where and what is actually wrong in your body. One must get their Estrogen metabolites checked before it turns into any abnormality. Just by doing a simple urine testing (DUTCH complete) and certain other blood work advised by your functional medicine specialist can help you a lot.
