Be careful dim can cause hair loss in some women also it's important to work on endocrine Disruptors via your cookware, soap, body washes, dish soap, laundry soap, plastics, hair products, scented anything etc. Also you need to regulate your blood sugar levels as insulin resistance and insulin as been shown to cause hormonal issues and may be linked to the growth of fibroids. And making sure you get enough fiber. You can get idoine from kelp, bladderwack,Irish moss etc, also wild yam, passionflower, thyme helps with progesterone plus others and glutathione for liver, high sources of this is black Spanish radish which many ppl don't use or know about and rooibos tea.
Great information. I have heard of black radish and will look into it more. I am also trying to heal my body and lose weight. Any time I go on a calorie deficit diet, I lose some weight but then my body adapts to the lower calories. Can estrogen dominance have an effect with metabolic adaptation because of raising your cortisol by inducing your body to go into starvation mode?
Hi. Thanks for the tip om DIM. So would wild yam supplements, thyme tea help with normalising progesterone? Ive been looking for foods to increase progesterone naturaly.
Thanks for the info and thoughts on DIM. What are your thoughts on taking DIM while hypothyroid? I’ve avoided taking it bc I’ve read you shouldn’t take DIM if hypo??
I've had 2 surgerys and years of pain from my endo and cysts. I know I'm certainly not alone on that one.but recently I have been going to a natropathic doctor who is having me take some of the supplements you mentioned. So thankful for this information. Makes me upset that many doctors do not talk about this. None of my previous doctors ever did a hormone panel and just told me to take birth control pills, which my body never tolerated. Thankful for this new journey in healing my body. Thank you ❤
You’re not alone. With two decades of poor advice from doctors, surgeries and having birth control pushed on me (which I resisted) my condition became chronic and debilitating. One can only wonder what sort of help insight like this would have been. 🤷🏽♀️
After taking 2 months of Dim my period got late 5 days. I was a little anxious about it but thankfully it was just 5 days. But when I was using I felt perfectly healty, even it made regular my bowel movements. Now I am using silymarin and my hair losses became less, and my hormonal acnes are less too, my skin looks like normal now alhamdulillah .
I’m on my first month of dim, firstly I started capsules and it gave me so so so bad migraines so I started gummies with low quantity and increased it to 2 times a day, it’s getting better for me too, but I’m not taking any other supplements I don’t know if it’s compulsive to take other vitamins with it?
None of the doctors I met talked about hormone imbalances. I have menopausal symptoms but the doctors I met did not recommend any hormone testing because they don’t know what to do with it or have no training in this area. They would rather check the routine boxes and continue with the old testing your lipids, metabolic and stool. They would not dig deep into these issues.
A friend of mine developed Estrogen Receptor (ER) positive Carcinona in her breast from estrogen dominance. This put her at a high risk for breast cancer. Estrogen dominance does not cause all women to develop this risk, but some do, even those without any genetic link to breast cancer.
I disagree with the part about the fiber. Bulking things up especially with psyllium husk can actually prevent your body from eliminating. I think magnesium is a much better option.
I am definetely not able to take any fiber supplements as I am intolerant to many of them. Gas, bloating, stomach pain, constipation. What I can have is some chia seeed, cooked veggies, and just healthy foods. I am very careful with fiber supplements. I also want to add that I have lactose intolerance. I am also very careful with herbs, especially herbs that can lower blood pressure, or are diuretic. Yesterday I had hibiscus tea, I did not know it could lower blood pressure, and today I am certainly feeling it. So replacing with electrolyte drink and eating white bread and chocolates to get blood pressure and blood sugars up. Somehow my blood sugars also drop when my blood pressure drops 😂 I need to give that tea to somebody who has a different constitution. I just have a very delicate system..
I have been battling hormonal acne for over 2 decades i took a supplement called Dim detox and i have not broken out since, and my painful cycles are gone. I have been taking pain medication every day of my cycle since i was 11. I am now middle age and this has been the first year where i havent needed it
Thanks for the vid! Yup, sylimarin can work wonders with the liver, but it's taking it on regular basis (it's been a traditional cure for liver probs since ages in my country). It's funny indeed when people mention alcohol in terms of liver but don't realise the excess glucose consumption and fructose that only liver can process. Iodine, I wouldn't risk taking it without consulting the endocrinologist, having estrogen messed up is already a prob for the thyroid. Fiber sadly is not for everybody either, lots of the patients have intestine problems, including SIBO. Tricky thing, cause it's all interconnected and really hard to find a spot in which one can start braking the viscous circle. Interested What is your point of view in regards of seed cycling?
I see the piece about veggies, I cook mine well. That works for me :) I always warm my salad in a hot pan, and use olive oil, it really helps me to get the greens in, without all the gas. In ayurvedic medicine my constitution is high vata, which means calming foods, that are sweet, like white rice, oats and any comfort food. That does not mean pizza and burgers, but in natural foods. Think stews and caseroles. Warm, sweet veg and meats. Smaller meals is also better. Me and my boyfriend are so different in this. He eats large meals, and is more pitta dominant.
My period stopped when I lost my dog who was my baby (I was 39). It was gone for 8 months then returned for 1-3 days at a time, for 10 months. December was the first time it left again, and this time there was no trauma associated with it. My gf said I am likely estrogen dominant and need to work on balancing my hormones.
Hi from India, i am a nutritionist and I have clients with pcod and endometriosis. I read a lot and so glad that I came across your channel. I would like to more learn about functional medicine for different health conditions. Do you know any good course regarding this ?? Much thanks
Because you are a nutritionist there would likely be many methods you could not use, but which a physician could use. However, to learn more about the assorted methods of functional medicine you could read the several books written by Dr. Mark Hyman who styles his approach "functional medicine." From the subset of his books I've read I know he incorporates many recommendations of better nutrition.
Thank you for this comprehensive natural list, Dr. Taz! *Are we supposed to take these supplements for the whole cycle or just when our estrogen level is supposed to be coming down after the two monthly increases, please?* Thank you, again!!!
Thanks so much for putting this information up! I wish this sort of thing had been available when I was young. It would have prevented a lot of unnecessary living hell while finding it all out on my own with the whole world trying to kill me for it.
Great video! Can I take DIM with Anastrozole? After a year of taking Anastrozole I am starting to have knee pain. I have been taking both but maybe my estrogen levels are too low now🤷🏻♀️.

What do you think about chaste/vitex berry? It made SUCH a real difference for me as far as lessening my estrogen dominance symptoms (and horrendous PMS). I believe it works through a different mechanism & will support healthy progesterone levels to counteract the estrogen at the right times. Perhaps you or someone else who knows more about its mechanism of action & can explain it better? Anyway It takes 2-3 months of taking every day before you really see the difference, but for me it was life changing! Patience & consistency are key here Hope this may help someone out there ❤️

Please, a piece of advice! I' ve had 3 endometrial polyps removed in one year and my doc told me they appeared because of estrogen dominance, but low level of progesterone. He recommended me a progesterone treatment, but i also have a breast fibroadenoma that could be affected by the progesterone treatment. Is it true? What should i do in order to not get another endometrial polyp, but also to not impact in any way my breast condition? Please, help me, i' m scared things could turn into a wrong direction. Thank you
Hi Dr. Taz , thank you for the great video. one question, is it permanent?I have been dealing with it for a long time now and take Dim detox every day and I'm over having to rely on supplements
Thanks for all of your incredibly helpful information. Is it possible to correct estrogen dominance while still taking birth control? It might be a stupid question, but I never see this spelled out anywhere. Thanks. :-)
@@DrTazMD Thank you! Many of the people who share information about hormones do not like birth control pills, but going off of them would mean horrible periods for me. I'm going to try your suggestions before making any big decisions. It is wonderful to hear you talking so knowledgeably about hormones after seeing my gynecologist who had no useful information for me and looked at me like I was stupid for even asking. I'm sure you are helping A LOT of women who have the same questions.
@@triptik8810 yes massively, with my moods, energy, and so much more. I also had operation last year, that help a lot, but now I have vaginal dryness and no libido, it's possible is from calcium d glucarate
I am fibrocystic desease of breast, estrogen dominance, also have a little hashimoto (my anti tg degree is a little bit high but not much that have to use pill, I do not use any pill about thyroid), also my urinary iodine is low. I have just started iodine but not (lugol solution) also I use dim and calsium d glucarate supplement every other day and sometimes Vitex supplement also.. Consuming cruciferous vegetables was not among my habits, as I thought it could harm thyroid health, but I also want to consume it for breast health. I also want to use iodine for the same reason. Considering all these situations, what can you suggest?
Is estrogen dominance where I can get very emotional and cry a lot and my weight gain is especially in my stomach and breath and I have heavy heavy periods? Does that sound like I am estrogen dominant?
THANK YOU! I’ve been taking dim and calcium d glucorate daily for the last 1.5 years and for the first time ever these last few months I’ve been experiencing vaginal dryness and low libido. I thought it was dim that was causing this so I got off of it but have been feeling horrible ever since (brain fog, irritability) but now I know it must have been too much calcium d glucorate. Can dim alone ever lower your estrogen levels?
@@scottp6761 Yes for sure! I learned that when I was told to eat sweet potatoes a long time ago, I really did not know how to cook them My issues was less about balancing hormones when I was younger and more about avoiding plastics...this was before ppl were talking about BPA a lot in the early 2000's...thankfully I did not need DIM or specific things when I was young. What I did find however was using omega foods and not supplements naturally balanced me out. I think I am just doing more education here on what to do if you just produce extra estrogen genetically as in BRAC genes...
No wonder I have estrogen dominance because of hypothroidism. That explains why I had uterine & breast Cancer. When I had radio active iodine done to my thyroid. I wish I would of gotten to sue the endrocrinolgist that did the radio active iodine to my thyroid. Because he didn't tell me the whole truth about the radio active iodine. He told me I wouldn't become hypothyroid with the dose he gave me. I was duped by him lying. Now because of that I have suffered from unwanted fat & excess estrogen I don't need in my body. I have to take thyroid medication for the rest of my life. Because I no longer have thyroid hormone that produces enough thyroid hormone. That endocrinolgist screwed my body up permanently. I will never go to another one again now because of him I wound up with Cancer.
I had a total thyroidectomy and had to drink radioactive iodine because i had thyroid cancer. I’ve been on thyroid medication since 2010 now I’ve been having irregular periods and I have a thickened endometrium the doctor wants to test me endometrial cancer. I’m praying it’s just hormonal imbalance
Hi Dr. Taz, Is there something about lactose free milk that makes it a bit more tolerable for someone who's estrogen sensitive? I seem to handle it better. If I drink upto two or more cups of tea with regular milk my body starts with the estrogen dominant symptoms. The migraine aura is horrible and my abdomen feels like I'm about to get my period. This hasn't happened with lactose free milk. I feel like it is a safer option for when I crave milk, but I don't think consuming milk on a daily basis is a good idea.
Milk should be avoided altogether. Whether someone is lactose intolerant or not, milk itself raises estrogen levels as the cows produce estrogen-rich breast milk for baby calves. Grass-fed is a little better but can still raise estrogen.
You are fooling yourself. Cows milk is full of pregnancy and lactation hormones. Plus adrenaline and cortisol stress hormones if it's fairly close to the time her baby was taken way.
I upped my supplements not loosing much hair any longer, but I still have not got my period. It has been so on and off since 2020. I actually miss my monthly period now…..
It's good to hear the hair loss has slowed down! Missing periods can be tough, especially when they're irregular for a long time. Have you considered seeking advice from a doctor or a specialist regarding the irregular periods to help regulate your cycle?
@@DrTazMD yeah gone to doctors many times. They say im fine😲 so I dont understand….. Im looking for suplements have tested alot. But I dont know. Upping up my vegetables now cutting of most sugars in any kind. Also upping up my collagen taking nmn/nad/glutathione on and off. Nmn daily I feel I sleep better the more supplements I take. I also gonna start taking beef complex cause havse struggled with my iron levels to for years and had low D3 after meeting my twinflame. Have chased him alot and I think he has needed my energy cause the last time I chased him he was home and I had not seen him in 4 years. But when I left it seems like he doesnt care about me (cause I chased) and it seem like girls throw themselves all over him so yeah he chooses carmic women so Im letting him be. He needs to learn he to. But now my son is loosing more hair. It worries me I hope he also will awaken…. So many smear campaigns on me also cause of my awakening. It has been insane!
Be very careful about DIM. I almost died taking the Dim+ (patented formula), they made me bleed uncontrollably and NON stop. Such a scary experience. I was scarred for life and wont even eat broccoli after this. Super petrified a supplement could do this!
I am post menopausal and had started to have bad cramping and bleeding. At the time I didn't know I was estrogen dominant. I started taking DIM and my cramping and bleeding went away. I was just recently diagnosed with stage 1 estrogen dominant breast cancer with getting my mammogram. My doctor never suggested I could be estrogen dominant and this is where I ended up. With my symptoms she just said my TSH levels were ok. I hope people who have symptoms of Thyroid issues get checked for estrogen dominance if your tsh levels come back ok but you have similar symptoms to thyroid issues.
Did you also take the vaccine, several of my female friends had menstrual issues after, two ended up in emergency room for uncontrollable bleeding, several others cycled way off. Just a thought. This is being hidden from mainstream. Wishing all women good health. ❤
@@Carefree_Stephanie yes same with some friends I know. Acupressure points are helpful, you can look them up and do on yourself. Take care goddess sister. 💕
I have estrogen dominance and had a very bad reaction to DIM. I had headaches and heavy periods with severe cramps. Why did that happen? Also, is Berberine or inositol better for estrogen dominance?
berberine and inositol are good for blood sugar not necessarily estrogen dominance- remember different people react to different things - so would not take dim if it is. it suiting you
I had hairloss for so many years in my blood report my estrogen was normal but lower side but 10 days before period i had breast pain dark flow of period i tried many nutritionist but no one can stop hair loss i had 3,4 facial hair atlast i tried these dim calcium d glucorate and vitex my hairloss stopped within 10 days my hair thinning start to cover but still i having breast pain but im following these only for a month,my facial hair stop growing,i want regrow mam plz help now only 10 to 15 hairs falling per day
It’s great that your hair loss improved! Since you’re still having breast pain and looking for hair regrowth, have you considered adjusting the dosage or adding other supplements under professional guidance?
Can I take Dim while on birth control? Everytime i take my birthcontrol pill after a week or so i get bad insomnia and it goes away when i stop. Id that estrogen dominance? I feel like its building up.
Be very very careful. I was on a pill when ai took only 100 mg DIM+ (from Amazon). Had horrific (murder-scene-like) bleeding that couldn't be stopped. And cannot even look at broccoli again, scarred for life. I don't know if this is just this formula (they claim patented formula), or if regular dim would have worked for me. But just to be safe stay away from that formula, I will NEVER put myself through this. Not worth it. Almost died from it :( If you live through traumatic experience like this you will understand, this is too risky
Not always estrogen dominance cause that side effects sane when we don't have estrogen because after breast cancer hormonal therapy to block estrogen cause similar awful side effects.
(◠‿・)-☆ CoachTaz!!! Thank you again, and again for your headsUp!!. But, how much Milk thistle should we take daily since it your Fav?!!!!!!

Hi Dr. Taz , thank you for the great video. one question, is it permanent?I have been dealing with it for a long time now and take Dim detox every day and I'm over having to rely on supplements
it’s not permanent but it is where the body’s chemistry often goes
Thank you luv 😘
If you take calcium you should take Vit D and K with it.
Take your D3 and K2 separately.
I started using Sea Kelp in small doses. Your thoughts?
one way to get some iodine in so can be helpful- again- check levels of hormones to be sure
You are so lovely, thank you so much
thank you!!
so for the iodine are you talking about kelp iodine? You said not iodide right? like potassium iodide(lugals iodide) won't work for estrogen dominance
What about if you already dry hair and dry body
I just moved to Vermont need guidance please 46 and life seems to be changing
Dr. Taz could you please tell us how much of DIM to take and how/when to take it? I am 58 and suspect I have estrogen dominance. thank you so much
Can I take Dim on HRT ? I’m 52 menopausal women and I gain a lot of weight.
I’m watching these videos so I don’t take HRT. I’m navigating my way and hope you find your answer
Thanks for all of your incredibly helpful information. Is it possible to correct estrogen dominance while still taking birth control? It might be a stupid question, but I never see this spelled out anywhere. Thanks. :-)
yes it is! diet/ herbs/ supplements help
@@DrTazMD Thank you! Many of the people who share information about hormones do not like birth control pills, but going off of them would mean horrible periods for me. I'm going to try your suggestions before making any big decisions. It is wonderful to hear you talking so knowledgeably about hormones after seeing my gynecologist who had no useful information for me and looked at me like I was stupid for even asking. I'm sure you are helping A LOT of women who have the same questions.
@@DrTazMD would you mind to give a guideline on this?
do you have any concerns that indicated that taking DIM could increase the risk for breast cancer?
Someone said can cause hair loss
I’m taking these to lower my risk.
I thought that flax was not good for the estrogen dominant folk…?
flax seeds for fiber is great
Helped me a lot with bowel movement . I never used to go toilet seriously the flaxseed triggers regular toilet use and releasing toxins from body
@@DrTazMDis it ok when you have fibroids ?
Hi Dr Taz,
Can you take broccoli seed extract/ sulforophane, for estrogen dominance? Do broccoli supplements lower thyroid hormones?
you can take them for estrogen dominance but need to monitor your thyroid every 3mos
I read that if you have candida you can't take iodine. Is this true?
I'm taking vitamine d glucarate every day for almost 2 years, us that too much ? I had fibriods, endometriosis and adenomyosis, thanks
you mean calcium glucarate- have to judge by your levels
Yes calcium glucarate, how often I should do blood test? Thank you
I have the same problems. Did it help you?
@@triptik8810 yes massively, with my moods, energy, and so much more. I also had operation last year, that help a lot, but now I have vaginal dryness and no libido, it's possible is from calcium d glucarate
@@lucierosslerova1045 depending on your age, these are also perimenopause symptoms. I would get checked out.
Are any of these safe for men? I have 309 Total Estrogen.
Make sure you deal with constipation issue as well. Don’t forget your great green veggies Brussels broccoli cauliflower
FIBER
Calcium D Glucarate
DIM
MILK THISTLE
Indole 3 carbinol
Iodine
thank you!!
Thank you 😊
Please can you tell me which brand of calcium d glucarate are you using? 🙏
metagenics
Can taking too many supplements hurt the body? If so gosh which ones should we stay away from?
Look into quality of the vitamin pill. Non GMO, gluten free soy free organic bioavailability cold -pressed
I am fibrocystic desease of breast, estrogen dominance, also have a little hashimoto (my anti tg degree is a little bit high but not much that have to use pill, I do not use any pill about thyroid), also my urinary iodine is low. I have just started iodine but not (lugol solution) also I use dim and calsium d glucarate supplement every other day and sometimes Vitex supplement also.. Consuming cruciferous vegetables was not among my habits, as I thought it could harm thyroid health, but I also want to consume it for breast health. I also want to use iodine for the same reason. Considering all these situations, what can you suggest?
Hi- you are already doing a lot! can add cruciferous veggies 3x per week, stay gluten free, and cont the rest!!
You can add intermittent fasting too
Is estrogen dominance where I can get very emotional and cry a lot and my weight gain is especially in my stomach and breath and I have heavy heavy periods? Does that sound like I am estrogen dominant?
THANK YOU! I’ve been taking dim and calcium d glucorate daily for the last 1.5 years and for the first time ever these last few months I’ve been experiencing vaginal dryness and low libido. I thought it was dim that was causing this so I got off of it but have been feeling horrible ever since (brain fog, irritability) but now I know it must have been too much calcium d glucorate. Can dim alone ever lower your estrogen levels?
Try Pregnenolone 5-10 mg
Are you taking supplements with or without guidance from a qualified practitioner? Ughh this can be really unwise. Your levels get measured.
For most at age 40 5mg is fine. I take 10 a day split between two doses on Pregnenolone. It makes me feel great. Dim on other hand wrecks my stomach.
@@darlinspaces personally dim isn't the best thing to do imo for anyone but hey to each their own
@@scottp6761 Yes for sure! I learned that when I was told to eat sweet potatoes a long time ago, I really did not know how to cook them My issues was less about balancing hormones when I was younger and more about avoiding plastics...this was before ppl were talking about BPA a lot in the early 2000's...thankfully I did not need DIM or specific things when I was young. What I did find however was using omega foods and not supplements naturally balanced me out. I think I am just doing more education here on what to do if you just produce extra estrogen genetically as in BRAC genes...
No wonder I have estrogen dominance because of hypothroidism. That explains why I had uterine & breast Cancer. When I had radio active iodine done to my thyroid. I wish I would of gotten to sue the endrocrinolgist that did the radio active iodine to my thyroid. Because he didn't tell me the whole truth about the radio active iodine. He told me I wouldn't become hypothyroid with the dose he gave me. I was duped by him lying. Now because of that I have suffered from unwanted fat & excess estrogen I don't need in my body. I have to take thyroid medication for the rest of my life. Because I no longer have thyroid hormone that produces enough thyroid hormone. That endocrinolgist screwed my body up permanently. I will never go to another one again now because of him I wound up with Cancer.
OMG same exact story for me 😢
You should seriously research the carnivore diet. Dr Anthony Chaffee Dr Baker Steak and Butter Gal Lilly Kane
AMAZING❤
I had a total thyroidectomy and had to drink radioactive iodine because i had thyroid cancer. I’ve been on thyroid medication since 2010 now I’ve been having irregular periods and I have a thickened endometrium the doctor wants to test me endometrial cancer. I’m praying it’s just hormonal imbalance
Hello Dr,I see my period twice a month.I feel tired,weak and pale.what should I do.
you probably are low progesterone and may have fibroids- would get checked
Any update? On your issues ?
I thought chia seeds and flax seeds increases estrogen?
no they have healthy fats and fiber which supports estrogen.
❤ your attire
thank you!!
Hi Dr. Taz,
Is there something about lactose free milk that makes it a bit more tolerable for someone who's estrogen sensitive?
I seem to handle it better. If I drink upto two or more cups of tea with regular milk my body starts with the estrogen dominant symptoms. The migraine aura is horrible and my abdomen feels like I'm about to get my period. This hasn't happened with lactose free milk. I feel like it is a safer option for when I crave milk, but I don't think consuming milk on a daily basis is a good idea.
Milk should be avoided altogether. Whether someone is lactose intolerant or not, milk itself raises estrogen levels as the cows produce estrogen-rich breast milk for baby calves. Grass-fed is a little better but can still raise estrogen.
Oat, almond, coconut, hazel, macadamia, cashew, hemp, soy milks can all be tried as alternatives.
Just by grass fed milk , no hormones no additives , I love milk
You are fooling yourself. Cows milk is full of pregnancy and lactation hormones. Plus adrenaline and cortisol stress hormones if it's fairly close to the time her baby was taken way.
It's still quite adulterated from the process of pasteurizing and homogenizing it. Many can't tolerate it.
I upped my supplements not loosing much hair any longer, but I still have not got my period. It has been so on and off since 2020. I actually miss my monthly period now…..
It's good to hear the hair loss has slowed down! Missing periods can be tough, especially when they're irregular for a long time. Have you considered seeking advice from a doctor or a specialist regarding the irregular periods to help regulate your cycle?
@@DrTazMD yeah gone to doctors many times. They say im fine😲 so I dont understand….. Im looking for suplements have tested alot. But I dont know. Upping up my vegetables now cutting of most sugars in any kind. Also upping up my collagen taking nmn/nad/glutathione on and off. Nmn daily I feel I sleep better the more supplements I take. I also gonna start taking beef complex cause havse struggled with my iron levels to for years and had low D3 after meeting my twinflame. Have chased him alot and I think he has needed my energy cause the last time I chased him he was home and I had not seen him in 4 years. But when I left it seems like he doesnt care about me (cause I chased) and it seem like girls throw themselves all over him so yeah he chooses carmic women so Im letting him be. He needs to learn he to. But now my son is loosing more hair. It worries me I hope he also will awaken…. So many smear campaigns on me also cause of my awakening. It has been insane!
Be very careful about DIM. I almost died taking the Dim+ (patented formula), they made me bleed uncontrollably and NON stop. Such a scary experience. I was scarred for life and wont even eat broccoli after this. Super petrified a supplement could do this!
oh my goodness - have not seen that
I am post menopausal and had started to have bad cramping and bleeding. At the time I didn't know I was estrogen dominant. I started taking DIM and my cramping and bleeding went away. I was just recently diagnosed with stage 1 estrogen dominant breast cancer with getting my mammogram. My doctor never suggested I could be estrogen dominant and this is where I ended up. With my symptoms she just said my TSH levels were ok. I hope people who have symptoms of Thyroid issues get checked for estrogen dominance if your tsh levels come back ok but you have similar symptoms to thyroid issues.
Did you also take the vaccine, several of my female friends had menstrual issues after, two ended up in emergency room for uncontrollable bleeding, several others cycled way off. Just a thought. This is being hidden from mainstream. Wishing all women good health. ❤
@@t.lc.777 After getting the covid vaccine my cycle has become unbearably heavy.
@@Carefree_Stephanie yes same with some friends I know. Acupressure points are helpful, you can look them up and do on yourself. Take care goddess sister. 💕
how to test for estrogen dominance?
Blood test but to hard to test to be honest as your estrogen goes up and down. Look for videos that show estrogen doninance.
I have estrogen dominance and had a very bad reaction to DIM. I had headaches and heavy periods with severe cramps. Why did that happen? Also, is Berberine or inositol better for estrogen dominance?
berberine and inositol are good for blood sugar not necessarily estrogen dominance- remember different people react to different things - so would not take dim if it is. it suiting you
@@DrTazMD Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I was meant PCOS for those 2 supplements.
I had hairloss for so many years in my blood report my estrogen was normal but lower side but 10 days before period i had breast pain dark flow of period i tried many nutritionist but no one can stop hair loss i had 3,4 facial hair atlast i tried these dim calcium d glucorate and vitex my hairloss stopped within 10 days my hair thinning start to cover but still i having breast pain but im following these only for a month,my facial hair stop growing,i want regrow mam plz help now only 10 to 15 hairs falling per day
It’s great that your hair loss improved! Since you’re still having breast pain and looking for hair regrowth, have you considered adjusting the dosage or adding other supplements under professional guidance?
How do you treat low estrogen with estrogen dominance?
increase fiber, healthy fats and add a methyl b
Does estrogen dominance mean you won't be feminine in your personality anymore and does it add testosterone in you? I know it's a dumb question
no not at all - it's a hormone detox issue
I bought dim. I feel detox symptoms
that can happen- I’ll often suggest 3 days per week
Can I take Dim while on birth control? Everytime i take my birthcontrol pill after a week or so i get bad insomnia and it goes away when i stop. Id that estrogen dominance? I feel like its building up.
yes you can!
Be very very careful. I was on a pill when ai took only 100 mg DIM+ (from Amazon). Had horrific (murder-scene-like) bleeding that couldn't be stopped. And cannot even look at broccoli again, scarred for life. I don't know if this is just this formula (they claim patented formula), or if regular dim would have worked for me. But just to be safe stay away from that formula, I will NEVER put myself through this. Not worth it. Almost died from it :( If you live through traumatic experience like this you will understand, this is too risky
Insomnia is and can be caused by insulin resistance which is one part of estrogen dominance. Do you get constipated also ?
Fiber yes! Flaxseed NO!
What is estrogen dominance?
Wish I knew these things decades ago
it’s not too late
Not always estrogen dominance cause that side effects sane when we don't have estrogen because after breast cancer hormonal therapy to block estrogen cause similar awful side effects.
true
I use flaxseed and chiaseeds
awesome
How about curcumin? I have an endometriosis😢 thank you so much!
that can help
inflammation
When I eat chia seeds or flax seeds I get constipated. Why does this happen? What else can I do?
You may need more good fats- add a tablespoon of olive oil
You need to drink more water when taking these
Love the vid and the 👗
thank you!!
1 tb ground chia or flaxseeds
Psyllium husk (fiber pill)
Calcium D Glucarate (for estrogen dominance)
Dim
Silymarin
Indole - 3- carbinol
Iodine
But doesn't flax seeds have such high amounts of estrogen? So I'm thinking avoid it and stick to chai or Psylium husk.
psyllium husk good as well
Thanks
What if you’re not taking calcium gluconate and you’re naturally low postpartum? Treatment plan ideas?
Hi
may need more healthy fats and protein to support
Iodine is inside my multivitamins. Multivitamins is essential.
DIM gave me horrible hives & diarrhea. Back to the drawing board because doctors are ZERO help.
Maybe your diet has enough vegetables and this was over kill? Remember supplementation is normally to help a diet deficient
(◠‿・)-☆ CoachTaz!!! Thank you again, and again for your headsUp!!. But, how much Milk thistle should we take daily since it your Fav?!!!!!! In addition, I have been taking the daily 4 to 5 tablespoons of Flax Powder and Oil puling( Daily) with Sesame Seed Oil (daily) to take the pressure of the Liver ,alkalizing (3 times a day-for hormone balance) with with Baking soda-got that one from Dr. Bryce Wylde who frequents the Dr.Oz show.
