Understanding Estrogen Dominance and the Role of Detoxification in Hormone Balance

Women’s Regenerative Health Treatments

Enhanced Wellness Living, Ridgeland, Mississippi, Functional Medicine Clinic
Kelly Engelmann, Founder, Family Nurse Practitioner, Lead Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner 

Estrogen dominance is a hormonal imbalance that can significantly impact overall health. This condition occurs when the level of estrogen in the body is disproportionately high compared to other hormones, particularly progesterone. Understanding the nuances of estrogen dominance and its relationship with detoxification is crucial for achieving hormonal balance and optimal wellness.

The Foundations of Estrogen Dominance

Hormonal Imbalance: A Closer Look

Estrogen, a key hormone in both female and male bodies, plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions. However, when its levels become too high relative to other hormones like progesterone, it leads to a state known as estrogen dominance. This imbalance can trigger a range of symptoms, including mood swings, weight gain, fatigue, and menstrual irregularities in women. 

Contributing Factors to Estrogen Dominance

Several factors contribute to estrogen dominance, such as environmental toxins, stress, diet, and lifestyle choices. Particularly, exposure to xenoestrogens—synthetic compounds that mimic estrogen in the body—can exacerbate this condition.

The Detoxification Connection

Understanding Detoxification

Detoxification is a natural process where the body eliminates toxins and unwanted substances. The liver plays a central role in this process, breaking down excess hormones, including estrogen, for elimination.

The Liver and Estrogen Metabolism

A well-functioning liver is essential for maintaining hormonal balance. It metabolizes estrogen into water-soluble forms, making it easier for the body to excrete. However, factors like poor diet, alcohol consumption, and exposure to toxins can impair liver function, leading to inefficient estrogen metabolism and exacerbating estrogen dominance.

Strategies for Supporting Detoxification

1. Nutritional Approaches

A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats supports liver health and detoxification. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts are particularly beneficial due to their high content of diindolylmethane (DIM), which aids in estrogen metabolism.

2. Avoidance of Environmental Toxins

Limiting exposure to xenoestrogens found in plastics, pesticides, and certain beauty products can reduce the burden on the liver and help maintain hormonal balance.

3. Lifestyle Modifications

Regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep are crucial for supporting the body’s natural detox processes and promoting hormonal equilibrium.

Conclusion: A Holistic Approach to Hormone Balance

Understanding the interplay between estrogen dominance and detoxification is a vital step in restoring hormonal balance. By adopting a holistic approach that includes dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins, individuals can support their body’s natural detoxification processes and achieve improved health and well-being.

Watch our Thyroid + Nutritional Health Webinar!

At Enhanced Wellness Living Functional Medicine Clinic we understand that healthcare is not a “one size fits all” practice and we offer a variety of healthcare treatments to ensure that our patients are building strength, immunity, hormone balance, sexual health, and a lifestyle of energy, vitality, and longevity!  Throughout August and September and we are focusing on building a lifestyle of health, energy, and longevity through your thyroid health and nutritional health!  Our thyroid impacts every aspect of our health, yet most of us do not truly understand our thyroid health and hormones and how much our nutritional choices impact our thyroid health.

We’ve all heard of our thyroid, most of us even know someone who has faced thyroid health concerns or even thyroid cancer, but do we really understand why our thyroid is so important to our bodies functioning and our ability to achieve optimal health?  The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of our necks which produces the hormone thyroxine.  Our thyroid controls how our bodies use energy from food, aka our metabolism.  Thyroid health is critical because if you do not have enough thyroid hormone your body processes slow down, if you have too much of the hormone your metabolism overaccelerates.

Our thyroid gland and hormones:

  • Regulates metabolism
  • Controls body temperature
  • Regulates heartbeat
  • Supports immune system functionality
  • Stimulates blood flow to the brain
  • Supports oxygen flow to the kidneys, heart, liver, and skeletal muscles
  • Promotes healthy sleep, mood, and mental health
  • Regulates how your body burns calories
  • Is vital for proper bodily function, overall health, wellness, and longevity…left untreated, thyroid diseases can lead to heart failure and be deadlyOrder your Thyroid + Nutritional Health Lab Panel Today and Save $222!  Now-9/30!

Thyroid Facts: 

  • Over 20 million Americans have a form of thyroid disease, sadly, 60% are unaware of the issue or have been misdiagnosed
  • Thyroid issues impacted people of all ages and ethnicities
  • Women are 5 times more likely to have thyroid issues than men
  • People aged 30-50 are hat the highest risk for developing thyroid cancer
  • 90% of chronic disease is related to inflammation
  • The inability to get good quality sleep could mean an underlying thyroid health issue or other hormonal imbalance
  • Even with proper diet and exercise, if your thyroid hormone is not in balance you will face weight loss challenges
  • Thyroid disease is preventable and treatable! A holistic approach, combined with diet and lifestyle changes, will improve your thyroid and overall health!  Maintaining a healthy, nutritional diet filled with fruits and vegetables will reduce your risk of thyroid and other diseases!
    • Nutritional Health:  Eat these fresh foods to support your thyroid and overall health!  Asparagus, carrots, leafy greens, avocado, organic meats, salmon/tuna/sardines/wild caught fish, brazil nuts, seaweed, beets, and drink lots of water!
    • Avoid these foods: soy, gluten/bread/pasta/rice, fatty and fried foods, sugar, processed and prepackaged foods, and alcohol

Contributors to thyroid disorders, disease, and cancer include:

  • Environmental toxicity
  • Iodine deficiency
  • Inflammation-thyroiditis
  • Hashimoto’s
  • Stress
  • Postpartum
  • Grave’s disease
  • Exposure to high levels of radiation
  • Family history of goiters or thyroid cancer

Hypothyroidism vs Hyperthyroidism 

Hypothyroidism–when your thyroid gland is unable to produce enough of the hormone your entire body will slow down as your body is using energy slower than it should.  Symptoms include: a constant feeling of cold, cold hands and feet, puffy skin and bloating, fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, forgetfulness, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle and joint aches and pains, heavy or irregular menstrual periods, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism–when your thyroid gland overproduces the hormone and causes the body processes to speed up as your body is using energy faster than it should.  Symptoms include: rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, anxiety and nervousness, irritability, weight loss, heat intolerance, trouble sleeping or insomnia, weakness in the muscles and joints, vision and eyesight problems, increased appetite, light or skipped menstrual periods, and a visibly enlarged thyroid gland.

Now, more than ever, it is critical that both men and women focus on our nutritional health, physical health, hormonal health, sexual health, and mental health.  At Enhanced Wellness Living our goal is to continue to support our patients and to be a source of reassurance, support, education, stress reduction, and wellness!

Kelly Englemann, NP, and Functional Medicine Practitioner, and the Enhanced Wellness Living clinic team in Ridgeland, Mississippi are here to support your wellness and nutritional goals!  We are offering Virtual Online Consultations, to continue to support our patients and to help keep your health and plans on track.  To schedule your new patient consultation, wellness consultation, nutritional consultation, or any other appointment you may need please contact us at 601-724-7885, Info@EnhancedWellness.com, or the “Get Started” form, on our site.

Always exhausted?  Working to get healthy and lose weight but still gaining and not seeing results?  Noticing hair loss?  Feeling depressed or anxious?  Can’t sleep at night?  All of these are signs of a potential hormone imbalance.

Our Thyroid +Nutritional Health Special $152 (regular price $374) for August and September is an in-depth look at your overall health through your thyroid hormone and nutritional health.  Measuring levels of TSH, T3, T4, TPO, RT3, and Antithyroglobulin as well as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and Magnesium RBC can get to the bottom of health concerns such as inability to get a good nights sleep, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, low energy, anxiety, depression, and more.

Thyroid Specific Hormone-A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should.  This test will tell us if your thyroid is overactive, hyperthyroidism, or underactive, hypothyroidism (often linked to fatigue, depression).

T3-Triiodothyronine is a hormone that impacts your body’s metabolism.  T3 testing is used to ensure that you are not living with hyperthyroidism, a condition in which your body produces too much of the thyroid hormone.

T4-Free thyroxine is a hormone that regulates body weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood.

TPO-Thyroid peroxidase; this test measures the levels of thyroid antibodies in your blood and ensures that your thyroid gland is properly functioning.

RT3-Reverse triiodothyronine aka Reverse T3 is a biologically inactive metabolite.  Triiodothyronine is one of the two major hormones produced by your thyroid.  Stress can also cause these levels to rise.

Antithyroglobulin-is essential to the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones.  This test checks to ensure that your immune system is not causing damage to your thyroid gland.

Vitamin B12-an essential nutrient needed for your body to produce enough red blood cells and keep your nervous system functioning.  A lack of proper B12 can lead to anemia, Chron’s disease, Celiac disease, Graves/Autoimmune diseases, and other health complications.

Vitamin D-is produced naturally in the body when exposed to sunlight, it promotes calcium absorption in the gut, and is essential for bone strength and building muscle.  A lack of proper Vitamin D can result in weakness and pain in your bones, muscle weakness, increased risk of heart disease/heart attack, cognitive decline as you age, and other health complications.

Magnesium RBC-a mineral which impacts your heartbeat, nerve and muscle and function, bone development, energy levels, blood pressure and more.   A magnesium deficiency may leave you with muscle cramps/tremors/spasms, chronic fatigue, heart blockages, loss of appetite, diarrhea and more.

–Telemedicine on Your Time

–Hair Restoration to Stop/Reverse Hair Loss

–Alpha-Stim for Mental Health & Chronic Pain

–Nutritional Tools for Preventing Disease

Our June Special ($50) is a quick and easy snapshot of overall health for men.  Encompassing Prostate-Specific Antigen, LH, F/T Testosterone, C-reactive Protein this test can help you get to the bottom of health concerns such as, decreased libido and lack of sex drive, decreased sperm count, unexplained weight gain and muscle loss, changes in mood and mental health, increased acne and skin health issues, infertility, hair loss, and more.  Contact us to learn more!  601-364-1132 Info@EnhancedWellness.com

Prostate-Specific Antigen-a protein made by the cells in the prostate gland.  Cancer, enlarged prostate, and an inflamed/infected prostate gland can cause this level to rise.  Overconsumption of processed meats (always eat organic meats!), dairy, saturated fats, and alcohol also impact these levels.  Nutritional education, consuming healthy proteins, vitamin D, tomatoes, exercise, and reducing stress all help to support PSA levels.

What are the Symptoms of a Hormonal Imbalance?

As we get older in our years, lower levels of key hormones are produced by the endocrine system. In men, lower levels of testosterone are produced. In females, lower levels of estrogen are produced. This change in hormone production can bring about notable symptoms. Some of these are well-known, especially when it comes to what women go through in their menopausal years. A hormonal imbalance can occur due to more than just aging. It can also occur in younger men and women and even the youth.

Other Causes of a Hormonal Imbalance

Everyone experiences a fluctuation of key hormones in their bodies every so often. The problems start when the endocrine system of the body is not functioning properly, and this can happen because of a number of reasons. Simply being overworked or feeling stressed out in general can affect hormone production. Other causes of hormonal fluctuations can include:

  • Poor eating habits
  • Diabetes (1 and 2)
  • Cushing’s Syndrome
  • An overactive or under-active thyroid gland
  • Significant weight gain
  • Abuse of anabolic steroid medications
  • Use or abuse of certain prescription medications
  • The use of birth control medications
  • Having a severe allergic reaction to a food or chemical

The list of causes can become very long, especially if you separate them according to the sex of the individual.

Symptoms in Women

There are many times in a woman’s life in which a hormonal imbalance can occur. Menopause, menstruation and issues regarding pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding are examples of these times. Extreme changes in mood or behavior can occur in many women going through these periods. Other symptoms can include, but are clearly not limited to:

  • Heavy or unpredictable periods
  • Deepening of the voice
  • Growth of hair on the face and body
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Onset of osteoporosis

Symptoms in Men

Hormonal imbalances in men will occur primarily because of the aging process, outside of the years of puberty. Testosterone levels fall dramatically, and the risk of prostate cancer increases as many men get older. Some of the most common symptoms of a hormonal imbalance in men include:

  • Significantly reduced interest in sex
  • Lower muscle mass
  • Low sperm count
  • More breast tissue growth
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • Osteoporosis

Our team at Enhanced Wellness Living will treat hormonal balances based on what is causing the imbalance. Find out more about your treatment options by booking an appointment at our office in Ridgeland.

How to Achieve Proper Hormone Balance

Your hormones can be a touchy subject. They can make you moody, cause you to gain weight or send your energy plummeting when there is a hormone imbalance afoot. Since you live in a fast-paced world and may eat a diet filled with questionable nutrients, such factors can have a dramatic effect on your hormone balance. In fact, when it comes to most people, a hormone imbalance is seen in the simple fact that they are overweight. This hormone imbalance is generally caused by the adrenal glands working overtime to cope with all the stress people are under today. When adrenal function is high, the thyroid function inversely moves to the sluggish side of the spectrum. In this state, excessive weight gain is inevitable, unless the body’s hormones are once again returned to a more balanced state. But how do you properly balance your hormones? Our team can help.

Get Your Stress Under Control

Since high stress leads to excessive cortisol production and obesity, it only stands to reason that you will want to take the time to keep your stress levels in check. This will help to normalize your hormone balance over time. Taking advantage of the options we have available can be an important step to bringing your hormones into an acceptable range where they need to be.

Exercise

When it comes to improving the balance of your hormones, it is critical to make sure your hormone insulin is functioning in a proper capacity. When your insulin levels are normal, insulin will help get sugar and amino acids into cells for energy production and muscle building. Alternatively, when your insulin levels are high, your cells stop responding to the insulin signaling process. This creates a situation known as insulin resistance. This hormone imbalance needs to be normalized, and engaging in exercise is one of the best ways to get insulin to normalize.

Eat More Protein

Protein is critical to hormone production, and it is especially needed in higher quantities when a hormone imbalance is leading to you having an intense hunger response all the time.

Seek Professional Help

Of course, these are some helpful tips, but a lot of people need more in order to achieve proper hormone balance.

What to Do About a Hormonal Imbalance

Hormone production is vital for full functionality of your body. If hormone production goes awry, it can lead to several difficult symptoms that can negatively influence several aspects of your daily life. Any combination of hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, mood swings, depression, weight gain, and hair loss are only a few of the numerous indicators of a possible hormonal imbalance.

Although you are doing your best to handle your symptoms, you may be unsure of what to do about a hormone imbalance. Fortunately, professional help is available to help you get your life back on track.

Pills and tablets are a typical way to treat hormonal imbalances for many people. This popular hormone treatment method is taken daily but may require that you drink a full glass of water or eat a meal to reduce the potential for an upset stomach.

Although these methods can be effective, they are a temporary fix. That’s why at Enhanced Wellness Living, we help you develop lifestyle changes that allow you to maintain hormone balance for the long-haul.

If you are a woman, hormonal issues may include the symptom of vaginal dryness. If you are experiencing vaginal dryness and discover a hormonal imbalance to be the cause, you will fare well with professional treatment at our office.

Hormonal imbalances may be difficult for the most well-adjusted of individuals to manage, particularly on their own. By balancing your hormone levels again, your body will begin to work as it should again.

If you are experiencing hot flashes, low libido, vaginal dryness, weight gain, depression, mood swings, sleep disturbances, night sweats, erectile dysfunction, or hair loss, get in touch with us at Enhanced Wellness Living.
