544. Estrogen and Cancer: What Every Woman Should Know About Hormones and Detoxification

July 22, 2025·51m

I finally get to dive deep with the queen of hormones herself, Dr. Carrie Jones! We’re breaking down estrogen dominance, estrogen detoxification and what all this really means for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or recovering from hormone-driven cancers. If you’ve ever stared at your Dutch test results like they’re written in another language or questioned whether your hormone therapy is safe, this is the episode you need in your life. Carrie explains how estrogen is processed in the body, why detoxification matters for symptoms and long-term health (spoiler: it’s about way more than just estrogen), and why you don’t need to fear hormone therapy, even with a cancer history. Carrie then unpacks the difference between estrogen dominance and bad detox pathways, how to test and interpret your results, the exact nutrients and supplements to help your system handle hormones like a pro, and why constipation is basically your mortal enemy when it comes to hormone health. We bust the myths on “bioidentical” versus synthetic hormones, discuss the hot debate on estradiol vs. estriol, and share real solutions if you’re tired of bloat, moodiness, or stubborn pounds. If you want actionable advice, up-to-date info, and want to make sense of hormone chaos, tune in now and start fixing what’s really driving your symptoms! Connect with Dr.
