Estrogen Basics
Estrogen might make some providers nervous, but estrogen refers to a group of hormones that are fundamentally important to health and well-being. Every cell in the body has estrogen receptors, and understanding how estrogen is secreted and metabolised gives providers a lot of information about their patients’ health.
In this 35-minute podcast, Dr Allison Smith introduces you to the different forms of estrogen and sheds light on how understanding estrogen metabolism can offer valuable insights into how our tissues utilise this vital hormone. Dr Smith explains why estrogen sometimes gets a bad rap and examines the factors contributing to this perception, including the role of environmental pollutants that mimic estrogen in the body. We learn about the importance of screening for and eliminating these xenoestrogens from our lives to promote better hormonal health.
