Estrogen Dominance
Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen levels are too high relative to progesterone, or when estrogen metabolism is impaired. This hormonal imbalance can cause numerous symptoms and increase the risk of breast cancer, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis. Functional medicine addresses the root causes of excess estrogen and supports healthy hormone metabolism.
