What Are Xenoestrogens? Modern environment is full of chemicals that act as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens are chemicals and compounds from outside of the body, then when ingested or absorbed, act as weak estrogens in the body. Not to be confused with phytoestrogens from food that sometimes have health benefits, xenoestrogens are cancer causing and malicious chemicals found in everyday personal care products, cookware, plastics, flame retardants applied to mattresses and furniture, and, in general, almost everywhere else you can imagine! Ingest and absorb xenoestrogens every single time smell chemical fumes, handle receipts from the grocery or department store, drink out of plastic bottles, eat out of plastic or styrofoam storage containers, even sleeping on your 10 year old or brand new memory foam mattress exposes you to vast quantities of these insidious chemicals. Xenoestrogens Lead to Estrogen Dominance: Xenoestrogens lead to estrogen dominance and disease. When xenoestrogens enter the body, not only do they exert their toxic effects on your cells and tissue, as well as burden your liver, they also bind to estrogen receptors in the body, decreasing the amount of estrogen available to cells and tissues that actually need it. This causes your organs to produce even more estrogen in response to your body’s perceived ‘lack’ of estrogen. This excess estrogen can lead to weight gain, PMS and menopause symptoms, estrogen dominance and even cancer. How Do You Avoid Xenoestrogens? What can you do about xenoestrogens? While avoiding all xenoestrogens is virtually impossible, changing your diet and lifestyle has a huge impact! Switching to natural personal care products, choosing organic fruits and vegetables as well as sourcing protein from animals raised without chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics can all help. Using cookware made with clean materials, choosing to have your purchase receipt emailed to you or not printed at all, avoiding all plastics, and investing in a latex mattress and flame retardant free furniture are also all excellent steps toward eliminating xenoestrogens from your daily life. Fight Estrogen Dominance With EstroProtect: If you are dealing with estrogen dominance, look no further than EstroProtect. In women, estrogen dominance is characterized by having a distinct imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. This can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, especially before and during your menstrual cycle. My EstroProtect formula helps your body strike a balance between estrogen and progesterone by supporting the elimination of excess estrogen and healthy estrogen metabolism. Address Estrogen Dominance to Support Healthy Menstruation: If you’re having uncomfortable menstrual cycles every month, it’s time to do something about it! Painful and uncomfortable menstrual cycles can be caused by a variety of conditions. When they’re caused by estrogen dominance, thankfully, lifestyle modifications can help a great deal! Besides avoiding endocrine disrupting chemicals, eating more cruciferous vegetables, and exercising, EstroProtect can help your body detoxify and eliminate excess estrogen, support inflammation balance and assist with estrogen metabolism in order to support healthy progesterone to estrogen ratio as well as support estrogen metabolite balance, i.e. your estrogen 2:16 ratio. Support Estrogen Metabolism: My EstroProtect Formula contains DIM for healthy estrogen metabolism. Diindolymethane (DIM) has been clinically shown to directly support healthy estrogen metabolism. Estrogen can be metabolized three ways and your balance of its metabolites, 2, 4 and 16 alpha hydroxyestrone (OHE), play a huge role in everything from cellular immunity to mood and libido to menstrual comfort. DIM encourages estrogen in your body to be metabolized into the healthy, more favorable metabolite, 2-OHE. Comprehensive Estrogen Balance: EstroProtect is the most comprehensive estrogen balancing formula on the market. When I custom formulated EstroProtect, I set out to choose the most beneficial ingredients available in order to best benefit estrogen metabolism, cellular immunity, testosterone levels, inflammation, aromatase balance and estrogen detoxification and chelation. I’ve included clinically significant doses of Calcium-D-Glucarate, DIM and much more in order to benefit hormone health and balance in the most effective way possible. EstroProtect Supports Healthy Weight Loss: EstroProtect supports healthy weight loss! That’s right, often times weight gain can be hormonal in nature. Estrogen is a growth hormone and if you have too much estrogen circulating through your body, especially the less desirable metabolites, it lends itself to weight gain in the hips, thighs, breasts and buttocks (in men too!). By supporting inflammation and therefore intracellular/extracellular fluid balance, EstroProtect can help with water retention. It’s of course also extremely effective at supporting estrogen metabolism, so that you have more of the desirable metabolites and assisting with the detoxification and chelation of excessive estrogen, my EstroProtect supports healthy fat loss!
