Ep. #130 | Supporting Your Estrogen Detoxification Properly
In this episode of The Simplicity “Bite” Sessions, I am talking to those of you that have done some testing on your hormones already, or maybe you are practitioners seeking to help your clients best. Today, I will be discussing the difference between DIM and Calcium D-glucarate in estrogen detoxification and their impact in the different phases of this process.
Here are the topics you are about to listen to in today’s “bite” session:
- What is functional testing?
- The DUTCH test (Dry Urinary Test for Comprehensive Hormones).
- How DIM works.
- Consequences of lowering your estradiol: vaginal dryness, low energy and libido, hot flashes, and difficulty sleeping.
- Phase 3 of estrogen detoxification is tested through stool.
- What a GI map shows.
- Calcium D-glucarate helps to move the estrogen down with your stools.
- Are you properly eliminating?
- Functional testing needs to be done with a practitioner.
Hoping that this mini-episode helps you better understand your symptoms, how and when they are showing up in your body, mood, and emotions. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
