What causes Estrogen Dominance?

By Dr. Houston C. Anderson, DC, MS

“When asking what causes estrogen dominance, the most common answer you may hear is that it is because of much estrogen or not enough progesterone. If you read Part 1 , that description really only describes what the condition is, not what actually causes a bad estrogen to progesterone ratio.

In other conditions, I see this all the time; people say they have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or attention deficit disorder. While the diagnosis is correct, the diagnosis should be just the beginning of the process. The question that you should ask next is WHY.

I would estimate that 98% of all conditions have a known why. The hard part about the why is that it usually includes more than a single cause as you will see is true in estrogen dominance.”
