Dealing with estrogen dominance is really tough, but doesn’t have to be that hard if you understand how your hormones work. In my Hormone Support Group, we talk about how what you consume affects your estrogen dominance, which is FREE to join: [ Ссылка ]

So how does alcohol affect your estrogen dominance?

50% of women over the age of 35 are estrogen dominant. You may be estrogen dominant if you have very heavy periods, fibroids, or fibrocystic breast condition. Or if you’re perimenopausal or have polycystic ovary syndrome. And alcohol can affect your estrogen dominance.

Alcohol affects estrogen dominance by affecting estrogen metabolism. And not in a good way.
Here’s the deal. You have three different types of estrogen: Estradiol, estrone, and estriol.

Estradiol is the most potent but short-acting, so enzymes in your fat cells convert it into estrone. There are three types of estrone your body makes and they’re not created equally. I like to call them the good, the bad, and the ugly.
There’s the good – 2OH estrone. Which is protective and the most dominant long-acting estrogen in young healthy women.
The bad - 4OH estrone. Which is carcinogenic and thankfully not dominant unless you’re taking synthetic hormone replacement or Premarin.
And the ugly – 16OH estrone. Which is inflammatory and becomes the more dominant estrone as you age.

The more 16OH estrone your body makes, the more likely you will experience the inflammatory effects of estrogen. Including fibrocystic breast condition. Uterine fibroids. Heavy, painful periods. And melasma – dark patches on your face.

Here’s where alcohol comes in. Alcohol increases the conversion of 16OH estrone. The more you drink, the more inflammatory 16OH estrone you’ll make. A low or moderate amount of alcohol - which means no more than one glass of wine, one beer, or 1 oz of hard alcohol daily - does not increase 16OH estrone conversion. Unless you are obese. Or sedentary. Or exposed to xenoestrogens – like plastics, pesticides, and certain drugs like cimetidine.

The good news is that most of the things that affect inflammatory estrone conversion are under your control. Getting your weight within 15% of ideal (meaning under 30% body fat) will help protect you. Keeping active – exercise regularly and try not to sit for more than a few hours a day. If you’re already near your ideal weight and active, limiting your alcohol intake to no more than one serving daily can help reduce your inflammatory estrogen.

Estrogen dominance may be common and is affected by excess alcohol intake but fortunately, it’s controllable. Besides alcohol, certain foods can increase estrogen dominance. Now if you’re struggling with estrogen dominant, please consider supporting your hypothalamus - you’ll learn more about how in our Hormone Reboot Training – where you’ll also learn about how to safely metabolize estrogen so you’re less estrogen dominant.
