Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) occurs when there is an endocrine imbalance of reproductive hormones (estrogen, testosterone, LH, FSH). Women with PCOS generally have enlarged ovaries with multiple follicular cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on both or one of the ovaries that produce excess estrogen.

In the past I have commented on a curious relationship I had observed between the onset of allergies and changes in a woman’s menstrual cycle. This relationship is no mere coincidence. Once again, estrogen dominance plays a role. Maggie, whose story opened this book, developed allergies after giving birth to her first child. Gail’s allergies emerged in her midthirties, around the time that she began experiencing painful periods and other symptoms of estrogen dominance.

Breast cancer survivors may have one more thing to look out for. And it’s found in most women’s purses.
“We try so hard to give patients lifestyle recommendations and risk-reducing strategies and yet they could go to the grocery store, buy a product and actually be potentially increasing their risk,” points out Dr. Jennifer Klemp, director of the Breast Cancer Survivorship Center.
New research shows that commercial moisturizers, found on most drugstore shelves, can contain estrogen.

A new study is suggesting that estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may not only lead to estrogen dominance, but also an asthmatic condition in post-menopausal women.

For those who are dealing with lots of emotional stress, perhaps from estrogen dominance, researchers are finding that dark chocolate may help ease the pain.
A new study in the Journal of Proteome Research is backing up the original idea of the “chocolate cure,” and that in stressful times, dark chocolate may help cure stress.

Estrogen Dominance is a term coined by the late John R. Lee, M.D., author of a number of books on the topic of women’s hormones. The theory of Estrogen Dominance describes a condition where a woman can have deficient, normal or excessive estrogen but has little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body. Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn’t have any progesterone. Basically estrogen dominance reflects hormones that have gone out of balance. Out of balance hormones can affect women from 14 to 94.
How do we become estrogen dominant? Our food chain is laced with toxic pesticides, herbicides and growth hormones – a sea of endocrine-disrupting chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body. If we are overweight, our body’s store of excess fat can be converted into estrogen. Insulin resistance also leads to estrogen dominance. Then there is estrogen found in ERT, HRT and Birth Control Pills.

Middle-aged spread in both men and women is the result of hormonal imbalance, specifically too little progesterone and too much oestrogen. And the problem with too much oestrogen is that the hormone acts like a ‘fat magnet’ locking it in around your middle.
As Dr Randolph explains, in a healthy person there is a finely tuned balance between the three sex hormones: oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. But as we age, that balance changes. As a woman reaches her mid-30s, her levels of progesterone – which is produced in the ovaries and is essential for fertility – start to decline. The result is an oestrogen ‘dominance’.

Health Advice for Common Problems
What is it? Estrogen is is the name of a group of hormones. There are three principle forms of estrogen found in the human body: estrone, estradiol and estriol (also known as E1, E2 and E3, respectively).
Estradiol is the primary estrogen produced by the ovaries. Estrone is formed from estradiol; it is a weak estrogen, and is the most abundant estrogen found in the body after menopause. Estriol is produced in large amounts during pregnancy, and is a breakdown product of estradiol. Estriol is also a weak estrogen and is the primary form of estrogen used to treat vaginal dryness, hot flashes and night sweats. However, artificial estrogen has been found to cause multiple serious health problems, so only natural estrogen should be used for supplementation when needed.
It’s estimated that 40 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches. Headaches are one of the leading causes of missed work or school. So why is it that so many of us suffer from such annoying and often debilitating pains in the head? Honestly, there are several reasons.
Some of the most common triggers of migraines are stress, food allergies, caffeine withdrawal, medications, lack of sleep, extreme weather conditions, blood sugar fluctuations, and hormone imbalances.
