Estrogen Dominance

Impaired Phase One function, impaired Phase Two function, or both can lead to estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance involves accumulation of excess estrogen when self-regulating estrogen elimination is ineffective. Mineral imbalance between copper and zinc is a key factor in sustained estrogen dominance. Copper overload is a root driver of estrogen dominance, not merely a co-symptom. Impaired liver detoxification creates a compounding cycle where estrogen elimination becomes increasingly difficult. The article specifically notes estrogen dominance as a concern in men.
