We'll explore the difference between estrogen dominance and toxicity, and the symptoms of both. Julie shares her experience using testing methods like Dutch testing. We'll take a closer look at phases 1 and 2 estrogen detoxification process and how it affects our body's levels of estrogen. We clarify that estrogen, specifically estradiol, is not the problem, but rather estrogen-mimicking compounds.  We'll discuss how compounds like phenolics and heavy metals can act on our hormone receptors and potentially contribute to weight gain and gut issues like SIBO. But don't worry, we've got you covered with safe ways to support proper detoxification, like the importance of bile, coffee enemas, and the pros and cons of detox supplements like DIM.
