If it tends to run high
- Cruciferous Vegetables
Broccoli, cauliflower, and kale contain DIM — a compound that helps your liver clear excess estrogen.
- Reduce Alcohol
Alcohol impairs liver estrogen clearance. Even moderate drinking raises estrogen levels.
If it tends to run low
- Healthy Fats
Avocado, olive oil, and nuts provide the cholesterol backbone needed for estrogen production.
- Reduce Stress
High cortisol diverts hormone precursors away from estrogen. Stress management is key.
