Why Oestrogen Detoxification Matters – And What You Need to Know
Did you know that your body is constantly detoxifying oestrogen? This essential process, also called oestrogen metabolism or clearance, takes place primarily in the liver and happens around the clock throughout all stages of womanhood—even postmenopause, when oestrogen is produced in smaller amounts. It’s equally vital for those using body-identical menopause hormone therapy, like oestrogen patches or gels.
When this process doesn’t function properly, it can lead to leftover, “used” oestrogen lingering in the body. This can worsen symptoms like heavy, painful periods, clotting, headaches, mood swings, weight gain, fibroid growth, and even increase the risk of oestrogen-related cancers.
In this episode, I dive into:
- What oestrogen detoxification is and why it’s so important
- How this natural process works in your body
- Why effective detoxification is crucial for your health
- The habits and nutrients that support optimal oestrogen clearance
- The factors that can impair it
If you want to understand how to support your body better—and why this process is key to balanced hormones—this episode is for you!
