Bloating. Mood swings. Weight gain that won't budge — even when you're eating clean and exercising.

If this sounds familiar, you might be facing a hormonal imbalance no one’s talking about: Estrogen Dominance.

In this episode we’re unpacking one of the most misunderstood hormone issues affecting women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s — and why your doctor probably isn’t testing for it correctly.

You’ll learn:

- What estrogen dominance actually is — and how it’s often confused with "high estrogen"

- Why it’s more about imbalance between estrogen & progesterone than just “too much estrogen”

- Why your bloodwork might look “normal” while your body screams otherwise

- 5 root causes of estrogen dominance (including sluggish liver detox and cortisol spikes)

- How estrogen affects your mood, cravings, sleep, and metabolism

- Simple steps to start rebalancing hormones naturally through food, movement, and stress support

This episode is your roadmap to decoding the symptoms, finding the real root cause, and finally reclaiming your energy, clarity, and fat-burning power.
