The Truth About Estrogen Dominance (And Why It’s More Common Than You Think)

Written By Savannah Garth

If you’ve been feeling bloated, moody, or completely thrown off by your cycle, you might be experiencing estrogen dominance—a common and often overlooked hormonal imbalance.

At Coastal Health & Vitality, we help women in Richmond Hill, GA identify and treat estrogen dominance through comprehensive testing and personalized hormone support.

What Is Estrogen Dominance?

Estrogen dominance occurs when the body has too much estrogen compared to progesterone—even if estrogen is technically within the “normal” range.

This imbalance can happen at any age but is especially common during perimenopause, due to hormonal fluctuations and lifestyle stress.

Signs of Estrogen Dominance:

  • Heavy, painful, or irregular periods

  • Mood swings or increased anxiety

  • Bloating or weight gain (especially around the hips and thighs)

  • Tender breasts

  • Fatigue or brain fog

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Headaches or migraines around your cycle

What Causes It?

  • Chronic stress (which lowers progesterone)

  • Exposure to environmental estrogens (plastics, chemicals, etc.)

  • Gut or liver imbalances

  • Poor detoxification

  • Hormonal birth control history

How We Treat It at Coastal Health & Vitality:

  • Saliva or blood hormone testing

  • BHRT to rebalance estrogen and progesterone

  • Detoxification and liver support protocols

  • Targeted lifestyle and nutrition changes

We don’t guess—we test and treat with a functional, personalized approach.
