Women take drugs like birth control pills, fertility treatments, egg freezing and hormone replacements, natural hormones and supplements from the drug and grocery store. So knowing how well your own body’s gets rid of any of these extra estrogens is important for monitoring drugs that you may wind up taking for many years.

In the US we are surrounded by thousands of chemicals that mimic estrogen. 

Chemicals in our water, food, cosmetics and cleaning products so it’s important to know how well our own bodies get rid of these extra estrogens. That information will let us  know how careful to be with all these exposures.

The Better Estrogen Health Foundation strongly advises those living with an estrogen cancer to follow the guidance of your oncologist, surgeon, radiologist and all those involved in your cancer care. 

Improving the function of your estrogen metabolism genes is an additional tool for cancer prevention and does replace traditional medical treatment and/or the use of aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen and ovarian suppression.

 In addition to following the advice of your cancer team, follow the general guidelines listed within the site starting with taking an estrogen metabolism gene test.

Until you are way past menopause, estrogen levels are changing constantly throughout the hour, the day and the month so it’s very difficult to measure. The gene test is critical because that measurement is stable. You can improve how these genes function but they are what they are  throughout your life. Knowing how well you process estrogens can help you manage your choices.

After menopause, your ‘levels’ may be fine but optimizing your estrogen health still requires knowing your genes.

All the solutions for estrogen ‘dominance’ and hormone balancing will require medications or supplements whether it be pellets or creams or pharmaceuticals. Knowing how well you will get rid of these added hormones will help you and your doctor monitor your use of these drugs.

Don’t worry. The beauty of finding out about your nutritional genes is that you can improve how they function even if they have
some damage.

Consider a nutritional consult from the nutritionists we work with or review others at “Medical Professionals using Genetic Nutrition” 

General guidelines to improve the function of your estrogen metabolism genes are listed at our website page:
