Estrogen Metabolism
Understanding, Balancing & Supporting Your Body’s Hormonal Health
Estrogen is a vital hormone in both men and women, but it plays a particularly central role in female reproductive health, bone strength, and mood regulation. However, how your body processes and metabolizes estrogen can greatly affect your overall well-being.
At MD Ageless Solutions, we don’t just look at your hormone levels — we look at how your body breaks down and eliminates estrogen. Why? Because poor estrogen metabolism can lead to a range of issues including weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, and increased risk for certain cancers.
What Is Estrogen Metabolism?
Estrogen metabolism refers to how your liver breaks down estrogen into various metabolites (byproducts), which are then removed from your body. There are several “pathways” the body can take — some are healthy and protective, while others may increase the risk of inflammation or hormonal imbalance.
Problems in estrogen metabolism can occur due to:
Genetic variations (SNPs like COMT, CYP1A1, CYP1B1)
Liver detox inefficiency
Poor gut health (which recirculates harmful estrogens)
Environmental toxin exposure (xenoestrogens)
Hormonal imbalances (excess estrogen or estrogen dominance)
Why Is Estrogen Metabolism Important?
Even if your hormone levels are “normal,” how your body metabolizes estrogen can determine how you feel and how your body functions. Imbalanced estrogen metabolism is associated with:
PMS, irregular cycles, heavy bleeding
Fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS
Weight gain or stubborn belly fat
Fatigue and brain fog
Breast tenderness or fibrocystic breasts
Increased risk for breast or uterine cancers
