Episode 39 - Estrogen Dominance: A Simple Functional Approach
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many women are told they have “estrogen dominance” and immediately assume their estrogen is too high. Others experience bloating, breast tenderness, stubborn weight changes, or mood shifts and are left wondering what is happening in their bodies. The confusion often comes from not understanding that hormone balance is about ratios, clearance, and environmental influences.
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down what estrogen dominance actually means and why it is frequently misunderstood. She explains the dynamic relationship between estrogen and progesterone, how perimenopause can quietly shift that balance, and why symptoms can show up even when levels appear “normal.” She also explores how liver detoxification, elimination, and everyday chemical exposures can influence hormone signaling and how to approach these factors without fear or overwhelm.
We’ll explore:
✔️ What estrogen dominance really means (and what it doesn’t)
✔️ The difference between high estrogen and low progesterone
✔️ How liver function and elimination impact hormone balance
✔️ The role of xenoestrogens and practical ways to reduce exposure
✔️ Simple, sustainable strategies to support detoxification
If you’ve been feeling off in your body or trying to piece together confusing hormone symptoms, this episode brings clarity and direction. You’ll walk away with a more grounded understanding of your hormones and practical next steps to support balance in a realistic, sustainable way.
