“Bloating, abnormal periods, acne, mood swings, irritability. Do these symptoms sound familiar? Are these symptoms you’re suffering from? Many women question why they’ve developed these symptoms, especially when consistently exercising, eating healthy, and living a clean and toxic free lifestyle. All these symptoms are signs of Estrogen Dominance.”

Symptoms of Estrogen Dominance:

• Painful periods
• Missed periods/Too frequent periods
PCOS
• Fertility difficulties
• Excessive cramps and clotting during a period
Weight gain
• PMS
• Fibroids
Fatigue
Depression
Anxiety
Mood swings
• Reduced sex drive
• Insomnia
• Brain fog
• Migraines

“Contributing to these high levels of Estrogen are hormonal birth control pills, pesticides, and hormones within personal care products. If you have an MTHFR mutation, you are at a disadvantage because, in addition to Estrogen needing methylation for removal, other toxins also need methylation to be eliminated from the body. “
