From age 35 to 50, there is a 75% reduction in
productio Estrogen Dominance Caused by Lack of ProgesteroneWith the gradual drop in estrogen but severe drop in progesterone, there is insufficient progesterone to counteract the amount of estrogen in our body. This state is called estrogen dominance. Many women in their mid-thirties, most women during peri-menopause, and essentially all women during menopause, usually after age 52 and beyond, are overloaded with estrogen and at the same time suffering from progesterone deficiency because of the severe drop in physiological production during this period. This results in excessive estrogen relative to progesterone, again resulting in the condition of estrogen dominance.
