BONUS: Cancer, Estrogen and Detox: What Happens After Your Body Uses Estrogen

September 6, 2026·50m

What happens to estrogen after your body has used it, and why does proper metabolism and elimination matter? In this bonus episode, I sit down with David Roberts and molecular biologist Dr. John Gildea to discuss estrogen metabolism, sulforaphane, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and the research connecting these processes to cancer and overall health. We also talk about environmental estrogens, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and what we can realistically do to support the body's natural detoxification systems. Along the way, David shares what led him to study sulforaphane after his wife's cancer diagnosis and what their research has found about its potential effects on cancer cells.
