"The ratio of estrogen to progesterone--regardless of age or gender--is an important factor in regulating minerals and water, cell energy metabolism, and blood pressure. The ratios of many other regulatory substances (including serotonin/dopamine, glucagon/insulin, and aldosterone/cortisol+progesterone) vary according to the quality of the individual's level of adaptation to the environment. Improving the environment can shift the ratio in the direction of restoration, rather than mere survival." Ray Peat from http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/ed ... enia.shtml
Can you please share your high estrogen symptons from experience with me. For the longest time I kept telling myself when I started Peating that only if you have been on hormone meds can you then be estrogen dominance. That's when I started looking at things like nutrition etc, to get better. I'm now re-doing everthing and I need your help. Just read an article with the above quote, and it has come to my mind that maybe there are other symptoms that I don't know about b/c I don't have the usuall ones, my periods are okay and timely every month, pms is at bay with nutrition. Slight cramping but that's normal. No headaches, libido pretty good since diet change etc. I read hair issues, and my hair grows fast so no problem there. I read most of the symptoms online and I don't have anything like it. So what other possible symptoms are out there that I have not heard of.
I'm trying to get to the bodom of my edema/fluid retention issues! I'm determined
