10 Estrogen Dominance Symptoms
Symptom #10: Weight Gain
Weight gain can happen with different types of health issues and lack of exercise. It is also a symptom of estrogen dominance. During estrogen dominance, there is also low progesterone. Low progesterone levels encourage weight gain since progesterone helps the thyroid while increasing metabolism and body temperature. With low progesterone levels, there is not enough to help supply the thyroid. Then metabolism is slower and weight gain is the result.
Some foods can help with weight gain and estrogen dominance. Since excessive estrogen in the digestive tract binds to insoluble fiber, eating foods high in fiber can help intestinal bacteria and reduce the build-up. Foods high in fiber include whole grains, pears, apples, and wheat bran.
