Is it hard for you to lose weight? Do you know how much of a role estrogen (and progesterone) play in a woman’s body?
Estrogens are a group of hormones that are important to a woman’s sex drive and reproductive development. Ovaries make most of the estrogen hormones with the adrenal glands and fat cells making smaller amounts.
When Estrogen and progesterone (a hormone released by the ovaries) are in balance, life is good! Our sex drive is better. Our joints and female “parts” are better lubricated. We will feel much less anxious and depressed and we tend to just “roll with the punches” better.
When the balance is off and you have higher estrogen levels, things can feel different. We are more likely to have fluid retention, mood swings, breast tenderness, painful periods, irritability, anxiety/depression, sleeplessness, hard time losing weight and increased headaches and/or migraines, etc.
As women age, our bodies can start to make too much estrogen (and not as much progesterone). This causes an imbalance which can make our cortisol levels too high. This imbalance can lead to estrogen dominance. Other factors can include how much fat, fiber and alcohol we consume.
So what do we do if we have too much estrogen?
There are several lifestyle changes we can make that will help balance us out. Want to learn more?
