Start hacking your hormones by first supporting the liver! This is one of the main places we make & metabolism estrogen so if your liver is sluggish, this will increase the amount of circulating estrogen in your body.

Reach for those brassica foods high in sulforaphane to help support glucuronidation.

What is Glucuronidation?

It is a major detox pathway in your liver which helps to remove excess estrogen so you can poop it out! Constipated? This will increase the estrogen in your body so get it moving with castor oil packs, coffee enemas & herbal laxatives if needed temporarily. (More detailed post on this coming soon!)

Supplements to support glucuronidation-> calcium D-glucarate, dandelion root, ellagic extract, rosemary, astaxanthin, green tea and coffee

Support the liver with bitter herbs, B vitamins, antioxidants from berries, onions, garlic, ginger, turmeric and citrus fruits

Eat more fiber from chia, flax and oats. The fiber helps to bind to estrogen & keep the bowels moving.

Brassica veggies and selenium found in brazil nuts support estrogen binding as well.

Adequate vitamin D is essential for building steroid hormones while also assisting in synthesizing excess estrogen.
