Key Takeaways

  • Oestrogen is made in the ovaries and synthesized from the hormone DHEA
  • After menopause, the ovaries stop producing oestrogen and the production is taken over by the adrenal glands 
  • Insulin sensitivity and blood glucose management make a huge difference
  • Oestradiol  is the major oestrogen produced by the ovaries in your cycling years, Post menopause it’s  derived from testosterone via aromatization
  • The Dutch test means you can see what pathway your oestrogen is going down
  • Including flax seeds in your diet will naturally boost oestrogen levels and seed cycling can help promote the production of oestrogen and progesterone
  • If you are perimenopausal you can follow the moon cycle
