When it comes to estrogen detoxification, there are a lot of phases to detox correctly, and there are a lot of “industry secrets” that are missing the mark. DIM is not the end all be all cure for estrogen dominance. This is why it is so important to know where your hormone levels currently are and to run the right tests to get a full picture of your health. There are a lot of factors that can increase the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, so it’s important to recognize what stress you are putting on your body and be aware of how our choices impact our health and hormones long term. It’s imperative for everyone to understand that unless you run the right tests, you won’t know which estrogen is dominant and why. I hope that when you listen to the podcast that you gain the knowledge and confidence to be your own health advocate. Always get curious about why things are happening to your body to begin with and focus on the root cause instead of just fixating on symptoms.
