While breast cancer is most known for having a subtype with estrogen receptors (i.e., ER+ breast cancer), many other cancer types can be stimulated by excess estrogen. This includes some types of lymphomas, most gynecologic cancers, head-and-neck cancers, gastric cancer, and some brain tumors (such as meningiomas). Your doctor may prescribe medication to block estrogen receptors, but there are several other pathways through which estrogen can be modulated.

◀︎ Is there bioavailable estrogen in foods you're eating?

◀︎ Are you being exposed to chemicals that act as potent estrogen mimicks?

◀︎ Can you occupy estrogen receptors with inactive substitutes to block true estrogen from docking on those receptors?

◀︎ What foods contain natural aromatase inhibitors?

◀︎ Is your liver metabolizing estrogen into more worrisome daughter compounds?

◀︎ Are you able to detoxify and excrete estrogen properly?

◀︎ Is stress creating estrogen dominance?
