My estrogen is very high I am sixty an I need help what food I should eat my weight is two hundred and eighty I have to lose weight.

Hi Sheridan, if you need to lose weight a good place to start is with a real food paleo style diet. If you are already eating well and not losing weight I would also check out adrenal function and thyroid hormones. If you need help with your diet or hormone testing let me know by emailing michael@planetnaturopath.com

Skip microwaving anything especially in plastic, avoid plastic bottles when possible. Eat carciferpus vegetables and get rid of that fat. I recommend floragen3 to everyome to get rid of excess build up and help digestive tract work MUCH better. Go to Walgreens or Wal-Mart for that.
ReplyYour advice is important to me . I read and it is very interesting .

Great post!! I experience agonizing pain from periods and was reading up on a chemical called prostaglandin also related to estrogen that contributes to pain. I will get a little more strict on my paleo life style and limit meat to see if pain is minimized.

Hi,I’m 29 and I have 3 fibroadenoma in my left breast and fibrocystic in my two breast.how can I reduce risk of cancer and the size of my fibroadenoma?thanks.
ReplyHi Sarah
I would recommend doing a test such as the DUTCH hormone test to check your hormone levels and how you are detoxifying estrogen, this can help guide the best way to treat

Hi,
I’m 28 and having fibrocystic in my right breast, it pains before my periods and after the period there will not be any pain. And few months back when i did my thyroid test TSH was 6.2 so doctor suggested to take Thyronorm 25mcg for 3 months and after that I am taking 1/2 tablet per day. My period is also not normal it doesn’t come on time it gets delayed from 1.5 month to 2 months. Now I am on Amway Food Supplements Omega 3, Milk Thistle, Garlic and Calcium Tablets (From one week) and taking Ayurveda medicines (From 4 months) for the cyst. Please suggest me how to overcome with the pain and how to normalize my periods. Thanks.
ReplyHi Trupti, I would look at doing a DUTCH hormone test to identify your hormone levels and importantly how you are detoxifying estrogen. Have you had your T4 and T3 levels checked? This is also important. I cannot give specific advice here without seeing your lab results and going through a consultation process

Hi
My age is 25yrs nd i am married,i am trying to get conceive and i have irregular periods so my doctor gave me tab ovaashiel ds and maxogest. I am taking this tablets for 3 months and 2 days before i had my blood test and it showing high level of estrodiol 5036pmol/L. Is it because of those medicines??will it lower if i stop taking those medicines??
I would talk to your doctor about changing the medication, look at diet and nutrition first
ReplyYou don’t need your period to get pregnant. I conceived my son having no period for about 8 months.
Try black cohosh. Natural food store. Liquid. I took it for 3 months and got pregnant after 6 plus yrs of trying.
Good luck.

I have epilepsy and on keeping a diary it was mainly when my period was due. I am now post-menopausal and i am still having seizures monthly, with extreme anxiety and diahorrea. The epilepsy consultant doesnt believe that it is connected to hormones, so keeps upping my drugs. I have started using natural progesterone and would appreciate any other advice re diet/vitamins etc. Thank you.

Hi Katie-
Sorry to hear about your epilepsy, anxiety and diarrhea. I read your comment and immediately thought of a podcast I recently listened to. Good luck to you, I hope your able to figure out what is causing this.
Hi. I’m having hormonal imbalance problem because of too much estrogen. My doctor said I have a hyperplasia with atypical cells already, it’s the severe stage of hormonal imbalance. I’m so tired of my medications, pills because the side effects are so stressing. I wanted to go natural so I started not eating dairy products, anything with soya, no pork, beef, chicken and some seafoods that are grown into farms, no processed foods and limiting sugar intake. It’s more than 2 months now and still my estrogen are high, please help me.

I am 45 and suddenly have very bad melasma. It is all over my face in deep, condensed patches. I have PCOS, Celiac’s, SIBO, and Candidda. I eat low fodmap in addition to being vegan (7 years). I am hypothyroid and have MTHFR mutation. I have high lead levels which I have done several rounds of Chelation and very high CRP levels (17). I literally woke up one day, almost two years ago, with these patches all over my face. It is getting worse. I have been to the dermatologist, herbalist, naturopath etc. I have been overweight for 16 years (weight gain started when I went off birth control) I gained nearly 175lbs in 2 years while being on Weight Watchers, having a nutritionist, and a trainer. I have been on DIM for about a year, do coffee enemas for my liver and I am desperate. I hate my face and am so embarrassed to be in public. From what I understand, high estrogen levels can be the cause of Melasma. I am hoping to get this fixed. The dermatologist only wants to do chemical peels but I want to stop and reverse the reason this is happening. I am frustrated and desperate. Any suggestions?
ReplyHi Joanne
With so many health issues it may not be optimal for you to be Vegan, some people can thrive on this diet but many people do not. This does not mean you need to eat poor quality unethical food, but including some animal protein/ fats may help your situation. Have you had your hormone levels checked? The SIBO could be a cause of this also, low FODMAP helps the symptoms but does not eliminate SIBO. Fixing the gut will help most skin conditions and even excess hormones

In the past year I have had a large fibroid removed and now have a 2cm breast cyst among many other small ones. I am 41 with family history of breast cancer. I have been trying to conceive for years and am not ready to give up quite yet. Are these recommendations you’ve made safe for conception or pregnancy? Is it ok to take the supplements you are recommending?
ReplyHi Tanya
I would look at doing the DUTCH test or if you are trying to conceive the DUTCH cycle mapping which tracks your hormone levels every 5 days throughout your cycle, this can help work out exactly what your hormones are doing and what you might need to do to optimise conception.. The supplement that I am recommending are safe when trying to conceive but some may need to be stopped when your pregnant.

Hi
Very interesting article. I myself am convinced i have high estrogen or definately and imbalance of some sort. However my bloods from GP say different. I am 39. I have had both fallopian tubes removed in 2012 due to adhesions. I thought maybe this affected the hormones but not likely from reading up. I have been under great stress the last 3 years and ended up with fibromyalgia. Long story short in the last year i have put on weight and cant shift it, pains in joints, no sex drive, very bloated, tired all the time, very moody and emotional. I also have noticed that i am swollen a lot inside my vagina and intercourse is unpleasant most of the month. With reading my long winded comment do you think it sounds like i have hormonal issues? Thanks in advance Tracey.
I need to do a home test for a high estrogen level. Thanks

Hi,
I want to know about cruciferous-vegetable-extract. I have an important question. My father is 70 years old. His Total Testosterone is 343 & Free T is 10. Estrogen level = 20.
I want to buy the above product to increase his T levels but I am worried that taking your above product might not reduce the estrogen levels too much. As you mentioned in your article what optimum levels for estrogen is between 21-30 and too less(less than 18) and too much- both are bad. So I am afraid his levels might not reduce below 18.
Can you please provide your valuable opinion on the above question asked so that I can get clear before I proceed further.
Thanks a lot.
ReplyLowering estrogen would be a good idea plus focusing on zinc and other supplements to improve testosterone. Quality diet high in good fats is also important

Hi! I just found out today that I have an endometrioma cyst. I have been dealing with irregular cycles for most of my adult life. I recently seen a GI doctor for horrible stomach aches lasting 4-6 days at a time correlating with my cycle. She found inflammation in my test results, but we haven’t done a colonoscopy as I’m 33 and a tad freaked out about the procedure. She also found a large cyst which brings the story to the present being that it’s an endometrioma. I have no children and have been trying for some time and with this news I may very well be sterile. Would these supplements help my issues?
ReplyJonetta if you have high estrogen they will help but I would do an extensive DUTCH hormone test to not only look at your hormone levels but how you are detoxifying the hormones.

I’ve taken the DUTCH test and my holistic doctor explained that I have high estrogen levels said I’m not estrogen dominant. I still suffer effects of estrogen dominant symptoms. I’m doing most everything you suggested here and also take progesterone and testosterone bioidentically via troche form. I eat PALEO and mostly AIP actually. I also have Hashimotos – anymore recommendations? I’m at a healthy weight and excercise regularly. Still battle a lot of fatigue and depression.

Dear Michael,
I am a 54 year old female very athletic, yoga, walking 4 miles a day and I eat extremely healthy no alcohol or smoking recently I have had terrible insomnia waking up 2-3 times during the night. Some nights no sleep at all! I recently went to an endocrinologist to check my hormones. I’m addition I also did a saliva test. My blood results show estroven. 33pg/ml estradiol 34pg/ml estriol is low 0.10 I tried HRT it was awful! So my question is… I recently have started using a natural progesterone cream with estriol, it’s called progesta care with progesterone and a low dose of estriol. With my recent blood test is the estriol a good plan? And should I include the Dim and a fish oil to lower the estradiol? I already do business vitamins and occasionally zinc. My Salvia test showed a depressed estriol 6 and estradiol was 13 testosterone was normal, progesterone was 44. I had been using just the progesterone cream but it doesn’t seem to help that is why I thought using it with estriol would help balance out my estrogen levels in hopes of getting back to a normal sleeping pattern! Mainly I want to be sure adding the estriol is a good idea. Finding a doctor who can help me figure this out has been difficult.
Thank you!

Hi – I’m really desperate for some help and don’t know what to do. I stopped taking the contraceptive pill Yasmin 8 months ago as I was getting agonising leg cramps. The first 3 months were ok but it has gotten increasingly worse- irregular periods, extreme comedogenic acne, oily skin, exhaustion, dark moods/crying/anger for no reason and in the past week instead of my period I have had bad pain around the womb/ovary area. I spoke to the doctor today who told me to go back on Yasmin which I won’t do. Am having a blood test. Any advice would help me so much, I am desperate. I take vitex, estroblock, probiotics, milk thistle, turmeric, evening prim oil, green tea, eat vegetables 5 days a week; however I do have small amounts of sugar in my diet and meat/carbs on the weekends. I have stopped excersizing as much in the last month to reduce cortisol. Please let me know what you think- thank you.

I am 18 years old and have suffered with bad acne since 14 or so. For 3 plus years I was on antibiotics perscribed by my dermatologist which took the edge off, but never really healed my acne. I recently decided to stop taking them because they were wreaking havoc on my digestive system, but now Im back to square one. My acne around my mouth and chin is the worst its ever been and Im at a loss for what I should do. I conviced my PCP to order a lab to test my hormone levels and my testosterone is .82, so slightly high, estrogen is high and progesterone is low. Wondering if my levels being off is causing my acne? This whole process of playing my own doctor and attempting to fugure everything out without any guidance has been extremely frusterating. I would appreciate any advice!
ReplyThe hormones could be the driving force behind acne, it is important either to do a more advanced hormone test like https://www.planetnaturopath.com/dutch-test/ or get your estrogen, progesterone, testosterone plus SHBG tested on day 21 of your cycle. From what you described hormones sound like the problem and antibiotics taken continuously will affect gut function and make the problem worse in the long run, if your doctor has prescribed continuous antibiotics for 4 years it sounds like you need a new doctor.

About two years ago my dentist told me I had bruxism and had me fitted with a night guard to wear during sleep. The night guard I wear over my top row of teeth for the duration of the night and is made of acrylic. The day I heard about the dangers of BPA I contacted my dentist immediately who then referred me onto the lab technician who fabricates the nightguards. They assured me that the nightguards are completely BPA free and safe to use.
I am in good health, have considerably good muscle mass and low bodyfat. In the two years I have used the nightguard I have not gained any weight and haven’t noticed any real changes in my health or mood. Either way I am still very concerned as there seems to be so much controversy towards this and given my situation I really can’t avoid the exposure to plastic. What would you advise in this situation?
Hi Simon you can get your BPA levels tested to see what they are, I would also look at the underlying cause of the bruxism instead of just wearing a mouth guard

Hi,
I am 52, in good health, not at all overweight, never have been. The only thing on the labs was low in D, Iron, magnesium, and b12 which I have been taking vitamins for – all levels have come into the normal range. My estrogen has been as high as 300 on some tests. I get migraines, hormonal rosacea for which I take a daily antibiotic, Extreme Anxiety, I could go on and on with the symptoms that I know are all related because they have come and gone in tandem since I was around 17. I take a progesterone supp. and a beta blocker for anxiety but do not have high blood pressure. I am desperate to lower my estrogen. I have gone paleo 100% for about 2 months but felt bad on it and very constipated so I went off it but my diet is good overall and I do not drink. I know my issues are hormonal because while breastfeeding I felt beyond great and later discovered your estrogen is very low during this time. I’ve been in hell for 30+ years and NO doctor or alternative practitioner has ever had a clue as what to do with me except try and pump me full of progesterone – not helping. I’m thinking of just asking for an estrogen blocker but that would cause a whole other set of issues. Please advise me on what to try- I’ve done over 25 eastern and western therapies and nothing has been the solution. Some helped a bit I guess, some a waste of time and money. Thank you
Hi Christine I cannot give specific advice in the comments section but being on antibiotics long term (or short term) can make your problems worse. It maybe that your anxiety and high estrogen are actually caused by an imbalance in your gut function as things like acne rosacea are connected with SIBO https://www.planetnaturopath.com/sibo-test/

ReplyYes the DUTCH test not only shows your hormone levels, including the 3 different types of estrogen, but it also shows how you are detoxifying estrogen and the methylation of estrogen which can help to explain why you have high estrogen and help you with a targeted treatment plan. It also measures the stress hormone cortisol which can also affect the sex hormones.

Blood test with progesterone level: 0.6 nmol/L and Estradiol level:1045.3 pmol/L.
Is this result consider hormone imbalance with estrogen (estradiol) at this level and almost out of range for progesterone? Or is it ok since estradiol still within ref.range.
Been having irregular period. Thank you.
Hormones change throughout the month so it depends on when the test was done – it is best to schedule a consultation and get a complete assessment.

ReplyI can’t give specific advice except when I consult with clients and take a full history and review their test results. I would recommend getting some hormone testing done, either through Planet Naturopath or your doctor
