I sufferer from estrogen dominance and have done so since a very young age. I have also discovered how to resolve it and balance out my hormones again without medication.
Because my father had all the same symptoms I have suffered from, and he didn't live a very long life, I'm asking if a susceptibility to estrogen dominance can be an inherited problem?
I understand you can slip into having an over-dominant level of estrogen relative to testosterone after a bout of stress. Stress has always affected me more than others.. In my late 20's I started accumulating chest fat like my father did to the point that I look like i have breasts. This and all the other symptoms of estrogen dominance (to the T) have plagued my life. If my cortisol levels rise too high then it can deplete my existing levels of progesterone and thus there is nothing to oppose the estrogen in my body. Same with my father.. So the second part of this question is, could this susceptibility be due to lower than normal Progesterone levels in my body? If not, then what?
Thanks.
