Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen dominance is a condition where there is a relative excess of estrogen compared to progesterone.

Symptoms include:
1- Premenstrual anxiety
2- Breast swelling and pain
3- Irregular menstruation with excessive or deficient flow
4- Increased sensitivity to pain
5- Increased sugar cravings
6- Depression
And more.

What is occurring is estrogen is hyper-priming the tissue without the temperance of progesterone. As the body ages, the ovaries produce less progesterone. The adrenal glands make up for this by making progesterone instead of cortisol.

When there is stress, exposure to allergenic food or sickness, the adrenal glands will stop making so much progesterone and preferentially make cortisol instead. Stress of any kind can induce estrogen dominance.

In neural tissue, estrogen blocks the production of seratonin and melatonin. This causes depression, anxiety, sugar cravings, insomnia and a general sense of malaise. Estrogen also reduces the output of endorphins, enhancing the perception of pain.

My approach to estrogen dominance includes enhancing the liver's ability to process and eliminate excess estrogen, promote natural progesterone production and enhance proper hormone metabolism.

I have developed a nutrient mixture dedicated to restoring hormone balance. It includes Vitamin B-6, B-12, Methionine, Inositol and Choline. The nutrient is delivered as an injection administered in our office 2 times a week.
