@DrShelleyMeyer I'm surprised that flax seeds, that contain estrogens will help me balance hormones. Great news, thank you for the explanation ❤
Canola is awful 😢
This list doesn't look right most raise estrogen like half the list raise estrogen
Flax is estrogenic

Glad it was helpful and hope things start to get better for you. I have an online group dedicated to helping women find support for hormone balance. Check out my more recent videos for the invite and would love for you to join.
I read that raw carrots can help meet the fibre requirement. I had some carrot and lightly steamed beets and had a great bowel movement. Will stick to it now.
Yes carrots and beets are a great source of fiber either in their own or together.
I started seeing a holistic dr and finally got some answers. After about 6 months of taking supplements im finally sleeping again, working now on trying to liver cleanse and estrogen detox. Thanks for the info. I have high cortisol, low progesterone and hypothyroidism. Cant take thyroid meds or progesterone in pill form. Doing the cream for progesterone and trying to use diet to help with thyroid and estrogen. Thanks for the info.
Yay! I am so happy you are working through all of this and getting to the root to help balance and start feeling better. Keep up the hard work!
Great video and thank you. I love the parfait idea. I feel good knowing I’m consuming all the foods you talked about. Yay!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
Great job, will show this video to loved ones
Thank you!
I am glad I came on to your video, because I am experiencing estrogen dominance and it has cause me to gain weight and i didn't know how fix it.
I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting.
wow a doctor thank u
Love the dirty dozen and clean 15! Thanks for this overview. Always room to fine tune the diet. I’m on keto and have found it to be very calming and helpful cognitively
Yes, I love the EWG's info, such a great resource. I eat keto-ish (veggie type keto) and I feel so much better on it. Thanks for watching!
Great video👌i need some help, can estrogen dominance cause high TSH and cause subclinical hypothyroidism? I have this diagnosed,but i know i have estrogen imbalance,i have super low progesteron levels. What is an optimal progesteron levels on blood test?I have so many symptoms like major fatigue,hair loss,dry skin,depression,brain fog,modiness,bloating,headaches/migrain,sleep problems,cold hands and feet, heavy painfull periods with clots,i have been dealing with this for many years no help from doctors.i also have high cortisol...
Hi, so high tsh can contribute to hormone imbalance but estrogen dominance does not cause it usually. It's necessary to work on the high tsh and high cortisol in order to get a balanced estrogen and progesterone. There is not an ideal progesterone as it changes throughout the cycle so typically I say to shoot for mid range on the normals from your lab for follicular, ovulatory, and luteal, depending on what phase you do your testing in. But it's very fluctuant so using the tips in my estrogen videos and perimenopause videos can be very helpful, along with the cortisol and thyroid videos to help balance all of these hormones.
I am so glad I have infused cruciferous veggies in my diet. Such great tips!!! 🙌🏾
Yes! They are so good for our hormones!
Great video! Are lentils, black beans and brown rice okay to eat?
Thanks! They are, as they are high in fiber. I recommend making the rice, even when it's brown rice, more of a side item and only using the serving size or less, which is 1/3 cup. Even brown rice can raise blood sugar, less so when it has a legume with it though.
@@DrShelleyMeyer Thank you so much. I actually had some brown rice last night with some black beans, chicken and avocado.
Dr. Shelly,
I am 24 and have high estrogen and am taking progesterone pills. My doctor has told me to decrease my estrogen rich foods. While doing research i found that cruciferous veggies increase estrogen but then other research say that it lowers it? Same with nuts. I’m just very confused with this, is there a confined list out there that I can know for sure which foods are estrogen rich so I may decrease them and help my progesterone levels go up.
Hi. Yes, it can be confusing. Cruciferous vegetables help us metabolize our estrogen and push it out so they are very helpful to reducing estrogen, as is eating high fiber in general. There aren't really naturally estrogen rich foods- meats or animals products that come from animals that are fed hormones can be high in estrogen and estrogen mimicking chemicals, called xenoestrogens, as can crops grown in pesitcide laden ways, and eating from plastic containers, utensils, heating plastics, etc. I encourage you to check out my Xenoestrogen videos to learn more about this. The soy foods are a debate, too much to cover in the comments section but some do experience elevated estrogen in relation to soy based foods.
So, in general, eating high fiber, organic, drinking filtered water, filling your house with plants that filter the air, and following some of the other ideas in my estrogen dominance videos can be very helpful.
I really need something to help me sleep do you have any videos on this please and thanks I fall asleep early but wake up through out the night at least 3 times 😟 then I wake up early and can’t take naps through out the day so I’m exhausted this must really mess with my hormones
Yes, just check out the videos on sleep on my channel, many of them relate to either high cortisol or low progesterone.
Could the goitrogenic effect of cruciferous vegetables be a problem on a vegetarian diet with no other significant source of iodine?
Generally it is not if they are steamed or cooked. But, in excess, they can be.
Hi Shelley
If you watch the TH-cam clips of Estrogen Dominance they all have conflicting information, why is that?
Are you talking about mine or comparing mine to others? Thx
Any thoughts on the DIM supplement?
I love DIM!. I use it with my patients who have estrogen dominance and poor estrogen breakdown. I don't use it with women with low estrogen though. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you question is evening primrose oil ok
EPO can be helpful for some women but it should be balanced with a healthy level of omega 3 in your diet or supplements also.
Thanks 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great vedio dear I have endometriosis highperplasia and have no babies.Is flexseed good for me.
Yes, you could try it in moderation. 1 or 2 tbsp in the 1st half of your cycle per day could help, if it for some reason causes worsening pain then stop it.
@@DrShelleyMeyer Thank you my dear pray for me God bless me a baby
It caused havoc for me and few other girls with endometriosis that I linked with online! Gave me Endo flare up like I haven't had for years.
I am not understanding the flaxseeds benefits versus the soy benefits?
Flaxseed helps provide hormone balancing fatty acids and fiber. Soy is unique because it contains a high concentration of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen (phytoestrogen), that is similar to human estrogen but has weaker effects. Soy isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and either be estrogen or anti-estrogen like. So , they can beneficial in the ups and downs of perimenopause but if you are consistently estrogen dominant and not up and down you may want to reduce or not use soy.
@@DrShelleyMeyer will do. Thank you for the explanation.
Im on birth control. I think generic yasmin. I randomly get insomnia and I think it might be from soy/dairy consumption. Even on this birth control I get hormonal acne. Any advice? My quality of life is aweful right now. :( Im 29 btw. And Ive been on this bc pill for over a year.
I have found that some women can have estrogen dominance, even on the birth control pill which is unusual. I recommend implementing some of the ideas from any of my estrogen dominance videos, like the diet and lifestyle tips and even some of the supplements if you don't have any contraindications. But it's always best to wait on that until you talk with your healthcare provider and have your individual hormones tested.
I am only 32 have gained 80lbs in a year after gaining 40lbs in two months recovering from anorexia. I’m not even close to menopause and my weight is skyrocketing, I am borderline obese. I am 45 pounds over my normal weight having gained past my normal weight in recovery and the gain shows no signs of stopping. I don’t know what to do this all happened in one year and I was even eating 1000 calories at one point (probably not a good idea in retrospect but I can’t undo) just to stop the gain and even THAT didn’t cause weight loss. Something about having high body fat made my body even fatter. What can I do I am desperate I don’t want this pattern to continue I barely eat anything and my body is stuck in this starvation mode, where if I eat about 30 calories extra my weight goes up a whole pound
84 lbs* all everyone says/has said is weight fluctuates, your metabolism slows down as you age, or it’s your period, and “you look fine”
I'm so sorry. With situations like this there is no answer I could give you here that would definitely work. Cortisol imbalance, from the anorexia, stress and low energy intake, could be a factor as could estrogen and progesterone for the same reasons above. It would be good to see a provider that could test those things and is familiar with treating these types of hormone balances. I do have more videos also in Cortisol just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. I hope this helps.
@@DrShelleyMeyer thank you, I am seeing a naturopath who confirmed I have high estrogen and low progesterone. I also have low leptin for my body weight and my thyroid is borderline low. I would recommend anorexia to no one. In the end it gave me a weight problem instead of fixing it.
I don't like Flackers. Too fishy. :( Thanks for the info. I need to go low estrogen due to endometrial cancer. Hysterectomy on 1/5.
Yeah, they aren't everyone's cup of tea for sure. I hope your surgery goes well!
Smart and cute 👍🏼😊
