How Does Estrogen Affect Your Thyroid?

#thyroid #functionalmedicine #estrogen

Dr. Jawad discusses how estrogen affects your thyroid. Since Estrogen and Thyroid hormone is processed in the liver. By taking in too much estrogen will slow the conversion of T4 to T3 in the liver which may be the cause of hypothyroidism.

Estrogen stimulates the growth of the thyroid gland. As a consequence, excess estrogen can lead to an enlarged thyroid (goiter); inadequate thyroid tissue results from too little estrogen. Estrogen regulates the protein that binds to the thyroid hormone (TBG) in the bloodstream.

Too much estrogen can also block the uptake of thyroid hormones, once again leading to symptoms of hypothyroidism. These symptoms often manifest most strongly during perimenopause, when progesterone levels are significantly decreased but estrogen is still present,

What Is Estrogen Dominance?

Often known as the ‘Female Hormone’, estrogen is essential in the regulation and control of the female body. It effects everything from our menstrual cycle and fertility to our memory and skin, and the levels of estrogen in our system fluctuates over time until it begins to decrease during peri-menopause and is eventually halted once menopause hits.

Estrogen dominance is when there is too much estrogen in your system, however this doesn’t necessarily mean your estrogen levels are too high. It could mean that your progesterone levels are too low and therefore the balance of these hormones becomes out of whack. Progesterone and estrogen regulate one another and therefore if your progesterone levels are too low then you will be estrogen dominant, even if your estrogen levels aren’t outside the normal limits.
