Understanding Estrogen Dominance

Estrogen dominance occurs when there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, often leading to uncomfortable symptoms like heavy periods, irritability, and bloating. During the follicular phase, estrogen reigns supreme, boosting energy and mood, but a lack of robust progesterone in the luteal phase can create a cozy imbalance. Symptoms can vary, but they often include painful menstrual cramps and changes in fat distribution, highlighting the importance of hormonal health for overall well-being.
