Episode 19: The Estrogen Dance - Too much or not enough?

Estrogen plays a big role in our reproductive health, it gives us our boobs and curves, it is critical in helping us create healthy pregnancies and babies.  On top of that, estrogen promotes new bone growth - preventing osteoporosis, and also supports our cardiovascular health and plays a role in regulating our insulin response to prevent insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.   There is however a fine line between too much and not enough estrogen.  Fluctuating and high estrogen, which is common during perimenopause, can trigger a range of inflammatory symptoms. Similarly low levels of estrogen during and post menopause can be just as problematic in the form of hot flushes, insomnia, anxiety and overwhelm - resulting in a loss of confidence and self esteem. Today we look at the literal highs and lows and how you can best support your hormones and your body through this transition and come out the other side - feeling more energised and confident than ever.
