554. What Happens to Your Body when Estrogen Drops and Why I Chose to go High Estrogen Despite My Cancer Diagnosis
Why I Raised My Estrogen After Cancer I’m breaking down what really happens when estrogen drops, and why I chose to increase mine after a cancer diagnosis instead of avoiding it. I share my own experience with low estrogen, from skin changes to brain fog and libido loss, and explain the difference between rhythmic and steady dosing. You’ll hear why estrogen isn’t the enemy, how it can be one of the most powerful tools for health and longevity, and what you need to know to optimize metabolism and avoid the crash that happens when levels plummet. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and want a personalized approach instead of one-size-fits-all advice, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you need.
