#400 - The Estrogen Lie: What’s Actually Happening In Your Body with Emma Sgourakis, Kate Deering & Jay Feldman Part 1

Sat down with Kate Deering, Emma Sgourakis and Jay Feldman for the deepest dive we've ever done on estrogen and it changes how you should be thinking about menopause.

You've been told menopause = estrogen deficiency. Get the levels back up, symptoms go away. That's not the full story.

Blood tests only measure what your ovaries are producing. After menopause your body keeps making estrogen in your fat, muscle, brain and bone and there's no test tracking that. So plenty of women being told they're "low" are actually estrogen dominant, with no one checking.

We get into:

– why "normal" thyroid labs can still mean you're functionally hypothyroid

– the direct link between constipation and estrogen overload

– what's actually happening when estrogen "fixes" your hot flashes

– why in excess, estrogen behaves like a growth hormone, not an energy hormone

This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 (dropping next week) is about what the research actually shows on hormone therapy including what the FDA didn't tell you.
