have higher rates of breast and endometrial cancer.


If women are menstruating earlier


and waiting longer to have children and then having fewer children and breast feeding them for much shorter periods of time their exposure to estrogen is much greater. This in- creased exposure is then compounded by the toxic soup of estrogen mimickers we live in and the food we are ingesting. A woman has on average five hundred periods throughout her lifetime. The hor- monal fluctuations that occur monthly ulti- mately allow for the survival of our species. It is clear that we need to clean up our diets and our environment to reduce the estrogen onslaught that is occurring and that may in the long run threaten our survival as human beings on earth. Excess estrogen is definitely adversely impacting our health.


Menopausal Symptoms and Hormone Imbalance


Excessive levels of estrogen can also


impact how a woman goes through meno- pause. If a woman approaches menopause with twice as much estrogen in her body and inadequate progesterone to balance that estrogen not only is she likely to experience estrogen dominant symptoms she will also be more likely to experience the “traditional” symptoms of menopause namely, hot flashes, night sweats, flushing, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, pal- pitations, mood swings, memory issues and joint and muscle aches. Some menopausal women also develop frequent urinary or vaginal infections as a result of this hormonal imbalance.
