Do you know what estrogen dominance is?

I'm talking mostly about estrogen today and it's connection to other hormones including progesterone, insulin and cortisol.

Root causes of estrogen dominance:

• Excess estrogens coming in from the environment
  
• Inability to detox and excrete excess estrogen from the body
  
• Insufficient progesterone
  

Note: Women in peri-menopause will experience some sort of estrogen dominance as progesterone naturally decreases with age. This is when modulating stress levels is crucial because progesterone is now produced in the adrenals.
