Sentences with phrase «slow estrogen metabolism»

Not exact matches

Being estrogen dominant can affect your thyroid, causing your body's metabolism to slow down.

The body DOES have several systems in place that can slow metabolism somewhat - studies done on moderately hypocaloric individuals on extended diets show a moderate decrease in thyroid hormone production, changes in leptin / ghrelin levels (two hormonal mediators of food intake and metabolism), and slight changes in androgen / estrogen levels.

But when you develop resistance to your seven major metabolic hormones — cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone, leptin, insulin, and estrogen — your body adjusts by increasingly raising your hormone levels and ultimately slowing down your metabolism.

In addition, a slow metabolism of estrogen, which leaves too much unmetabolized active estrogen known as estradiol in the body, can be a problem for both women and men.
