Thu Feb 05 2026
Have you been diagnosed with estrogen dominance recently - and your doctor recommended taking birth control to control it, but you're wondering WHY your estrogen is high to begin with?Or, do you have no testing confirming that you have high estrogen, but you're suspicious you may have it based on your symptoms? And, you're wondering how you can naturally balance your hormones again?
Or, have you tried to take supplements or do things to balance your hormones, but nothing has worked, and you're wondering WHY your hormones just won't get balanced?
If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you.
Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not.
Today’s topic is: estrogen dominance.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
What estrogen dominance isSymptoms of high estrogenWhy estrogen dominance isn't a real root causeThe 5 causes of high estrogenWhat tests you need to see exactly which root causes you're dealing withWhy estrogen dominance supplements aren't enough - and what do to instead to lower your estrogen levels
And one more thing — I’m doing something fun for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals.
