High estrogen is information.
Low progesterone is information.
Heavy periods are information.
But none of those things, by themselves, tell me WHY that pattern is happening.
And that’s the piece I don’t want to skip.
Because it’s SO easy to get a lab result back, see something flagged, and immediately Google:
“What supplement lowers estrogen?”
“What increases progesterone?”
“What should I take for estrogen dominance?”
And I get it.
You’re trying to help yourself feel better.
But Google only knows the question you typed in.
It doesn’t know your history.
It doesn’t know what the rest of your bloodwork looks like.
It doesn’t know what your gut is doing.
It doesn’t know what your liver markers look like.
It doesn’t know what the rest of your hormone picture looks like.
That’s why when this patient came to me with high estrogen, low progesterone, heavier periods AND estrogen that had continued to rise despite the supplements she had tried…
I had more questions.
Was she producing more estrogen?
How was she metabolizing and clearing it?
What role could her liver be playing?
What about her gut?
What else was happening with her hormones that we hadn’t seen yet?
So we went back to the bigger picture.
We looked through her bloodwork, including her lipid panel and liver markers.
We talked through her symptoms and her history.
And she went home with a stool test and a DUTCH test because I wanted more information before deciding what her body actually needed.
And yes — supplements may STILL end up being part of the plan.
So might dietary changes.
So might lifestyle changes.
The difference is that I want to be able to explain WHY we’re doing them.
Because matching a supplement to a symptom isn’t the same thing as understanding why that symptom is happening in the first place.
You don’t need another random thing to try.
You deserve to know why. 💚
