This post is about estrogen dominance in women and what you can do to correct this imbalance. The reason I’m so excited about this post is because I have some dear friends who are experiencing this problem as of late. And it ain’t pretty. This problem, over time, can manifest itself into a bunch of super unpleasant symptoms, including cancer. You know who you are, and I really hope this helps! A Little About Estrogen and Progesterone Both estrogen and progesterone are necessary to life and the well-being of every woman. These hormones exist, primarily in the  ovaries, beginning at puberty and continuing for the rest of her life, or until menopause, in the case of progesterone. Both hormones have many functions in the body, but the most important is their role in the control of the menstrual cycle. Imbalances in these hormones, especially in the […]
