Common Questions and Answers about Estrogen fat

Hi,
It is clearly due to lack of physical activities, combined with lack of balanced food intake, which inturn builds up fat tissues, which start converting testosterone to estrogen, which reduces testosterone further, increasing more of fat deposits.You need not go to gym, but you can do moderate exercise like walking, running, swimming, playing games etc. Nature has made man's body to be kept active always.
How do you become estrogen dominant if your progesterone levels are normal? Does estrogen just keep overproducing after a past spike in estrogen due to depleted progesterone? I'm wondering why this imbalance between progesterone and estrogen remains and why my body hasn't corrected it after so long. Can a serious bout of stress really do this?
Yes I've upped my B6, C, and B12 and all my other B vitamins. I take multivitamins and have always eaten healthy.
Toprol (beta blockers) Inhibit healthy levels of the catecholamine hormones (epinephrine and nor-epinephrine) Adrenalin.Thus they inhibit good estrogen, allowing the bad estrogen to possibly promote cancer. The following is from www.vrp.com read the whole artical under (DIM). If you have a-fib and on a beta blocker I would hesitate to supplement with (dim). Any increase in Adrenalin could cause a-fib.
I assume you had blood work done to determine your estrogen level? What is it? Do you possibly have endometriosis (endo)? Endo implants produce estrogen. Fat cells produce estrogen too so if you're overweight that could explain it.
I am a little stuck with my dieting.
All my life I have noticed that if I eat a larger than a serving (palm sized meal) I can't lose weight. I've done all the tests for diabetes several times in life and it seems that I don't have diabetes at all. (Type 1 or 2).
I can verify that standard sized meals (what most people can eat) will prevent me from losing weight. That's a mystery.... But...
I was trying to learn more about if there was dangerous effects of eating to much dairy. Mainly butter and how much hormones like estrogen were in say a pound of butter. I only ask because I did something stupid last week and I ate a pound of butter in one sitting after seeing others do it on youtube.
The plant steroids in saw palmetto act on progesterone receptors, that causes a reduction in estrogen levels. According to the results of a large international trial published in the "Journal of Clinical Oncology" in April 2011, estrogen and progesterone receptor status is a predictive marker of early breast cancer and post-treatment relapse.
As you get older your hormone levels decrease, and your fat cells in your body increases.
It works by blocking the enzyme aromatase (found in the body’s muscle, skin, breast and fat) which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. By eliminating estrogen, cancer cells that have positive estrogen receptors cannot grow.
Side effects are certainly not pleasant to anyone,but it has been proven that Arimidex can lower considerably a cancer recurrence.
Best wishes to both you and your mom.
You want to get rid of the belly fat. Follow a few tips to start losing belly fat but it would not be a faster phenomenon. Major factors contributing to belly fat are overeating, no exercise, lack of balanced diet. Serving sizes bigger than required/ eating without being hungry/ snacking while watching movies, TV. You have two each small sized servings more frequently a day as compared to large servings few times a day.
Overweight and obesity are potential causes of gynecomastia, and the excess fat actually increases estrogen levels. Making better food choices to help reduce your body weight may help decrease breast size. Fill your diet with low-calorie, nutrient-rich foods to help reduce your calorie intake and promote weight loss. Good choices include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonfat dairy foods and lean sources of protein such as poultry, lean red meat, seafood and beans.
She explained the inability to lose weight due to estrogen being decreased, but since we still need the estrogen (that ironically and sadly) our body is not producing as much anymore, the body gets it from our fat storeage, so in essence our body is not letting go of fat as easy, because it is using the estrogen stores in our fat. She also said our body has estrogen receptors everywhere, from our brains to our toes, and metabolism is one area affected from estrogen loss.
I had IVF implantation on Sunday the 3rd. Today I had blood work done at the Dr's office and my Estrogen and Progesterone levels dropped "a smidgen" according to the nurse. They are having me increase my Progesterone shots from 1cc to 1.5ccs and get an Estrogen patch. The nurse says that this doesn't mean that the procedure didn't take but I am worried. It sounds like a bad sign. My question is for other people who have had IVF. Has this happened to you?
Studies show that excess alcohol speeds the conversion of testosterone and other androgens into estrogen. If you want to maximize your T production, fat loss, and muscle gain, then cut down on your drinking.
Bisphenol A, a chemical used in food cans and plastic containers, may lower your testosterone by exposing you to chemicals that mimic estrogen in your body. Steer clear of foods in containers with the recycling numbers 3, 6, or 7.
Also, any large weight adjustment causes a shift in hormones, because estrogen release is partially based on your fat cells. When you lose a large amount of weight, estrogen automatically declines. If you stop losing this weight at a healthy weight, once your body adjusts to the new amount of hormones, you should return to normal. Another reason for lack of menstruation after weight loss is poor nutrition, related to a lack of iron, zinc and lack of healthy dietary fats.
I take enough because of fibromyalgia. Hopefully I can get some infomation on diet to help with estrogen level.
Thank you, Janet

Thank you for your response. Your take on the osteoporosis was very helpful. I also was on Fosimax for bone loss. It did not make a difference. So now I am off it. But I resent the whole ordeal. I had to take increased amounts of calcium. I did not realize the decrease in estrogen of menopause made me constipated and the added calcium made it even worse. Half the time I was using laxatives and I feel negating the effects of the fosimax and calcium. I was such a mess in a bad cycle.
the depo is the culprit along with the prozac...most birth control methods have synthentic estrogen, estrogen keeps pounds on...then adding prozac, is another weight gainer.
I was on synthetic estrogen, b/c pill, in my 20's, weighing 198lbs throughout 20's, oh, you are depressed, here is zoloft...more weight gain...sugar imbalance. hormone imbalance was the main issue not discovered until total hysterectomy. I then used more synthetic hrt and gained more weight...
It does vary from person to person. I was one of the lucky ones. I had my lap in 2001 for endo and haven't had any problems since. I had a second lap in 2006, but all that was found was adhesions from 2 C-Sections. Have you tried any type of BC or Lupron shots. After surgery you need to stop your cycle for a few months. Endo feeds on estrogen. Try to lower your estrogen. Its in alot of foods, and alot of shampoos even. It's also stored in fat cells.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the problem might have to do with estrogen and the type our body is making and the low levels of this hormone and how the body keeps making more and more (as in fat that is not always utilized appropriately to make estrogen ). And, the estrogen by-product it makes is that Estrone... not the best for our bodies.
Read in Vliet's work about Heart issues and estrogen. She put my mind at ease, as have other authors.
