How to balance estrogen
When we look at the hormonal cycle, day 1 is marked by your period and day 14 is about when you ovulate.
Days 1-14 are the estrogen phase, when estrogen is higher. Days 15-28 are the progesterone phase, when progesterone is higher.
There are a number of things that can cause estrogen to be lower. Environmental toxins, medications, certain foods, stress, etc. can all decrease estrogen.
So why is estrogen important?
Estrogen affects your…
