the most common complaints among women is <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/eating-too-much-healthy-food\/\">weight gain<\/a>. Although some want to gain weight, the majority of the women want to shed pounds and maintain their ideal body weight. The key to weight loss is maintaining a calorie deficit, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. However, what happens if you abide by these practices and still cannot get rid of fat?<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Weight_Loss\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<p>In most cases, it means that the problem is arising from within, specifically from a hormonal imbalance. Weight gain does not always result from being less active and having an unhealthy diet. Another common cause of weight gain in women is an imbalance in progesterone and estrogen levels.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such an imbalance has resulted in what we refer to as estrogen dominance. It is believed that there is an estrogen dominance weight loss correlation. Let us discuss this concept and thoroughly analyze its myths and facts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Estrogen\"><\/span><b>What Is Estrogen?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When many people hear of this hormone, they immediately relate it to the female gender. Well, estrogen is certainly the primary female sex hormone. However, it does not mean that it is only present among women. Men also produce estrogen but in small amounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the case with the hormone testosterone. Women also produce testosterone but in limited amounts. In women, this hormone is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, and fat tissues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although most people relate estrogen to female sexual and reproductive health, it does perform other roles. In males, this hormone also helps with sexual functioning. It also contributes to the following functions in women (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/277177\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stimulates the growth of the egg follicle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintains the thickness of the vaginal walls and promotes lubrication<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhance and maintain the mucous membrane lining the uterus<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps the body form the breast tissue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulates the thickness and flow of the uterine mucus secretions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps cease the flow of milk after the weaning phase<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps with cognitive and bone health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aids in the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps with other important bodily processes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/does-testosterone-make-you-gain-weight\/\">Does Testosterone Make You Gain Weight: It\u2019s Time To Know The Experts Take On Testosterone Effects On Weight Gain\/Loss<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Weight_Loss\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33050 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8-1024x576.png\" alt=\"estrogen dominance weight loss\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/8.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Estrogen\"><\/span><strong>Types Of Estrogen<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical News today acknowledges the existence of various types of estrogen, which helps with different functions.

Progesterone is another sex hormone produced in the woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It means that during this period, the estrogen levels become too high while the progesterone levels become too low. Such an imbalance tends to wreak havoc in numerous body functions, especially in the body\u2019s ability to maintain its ideal body weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In females, these high estrogen levels can lead to weight gain, especially around the waist and hips.

Most people assume low estrogen levels automatically contribute to or promote weight loss. Contrary to what most people think, low estrogen amounts also contribute to weight gain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Medical News Today, low levels of the estrogen type known as estradiol may result in cardiovascular disease and weight gain (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/323280\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). In most cases, low estrogen levels in women arise from menopause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CDC acknowledges that during menopause, a woman\u2019s ovaries stop producing progesterone and estrogen hormones (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/reproductivehealth\/womensrh\/index.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Similarly, during this period, menstruation comes to a halt. As a result, most women tend to notice or report some weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for this weight gain lies in hormonal changes. Estradiol is responsible for regulating your body weight and metabolism (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/321837\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

It means that you cannot start looking for interventions without being 100% sure that you have low estrogen levels. The most accurate way to determine this is by taking a blood test. However, you can still take at-home saliva or urine test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blood test takes about five minutes when administered by a licensed physician. In the urine test, your doctor will ask you to collect all the urine you pass in 24 hours (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/lab-tests\/estrogen-levels-test\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). On the other hand, the doctor will see you through testing and collecting of the sample using the home saliva test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the symptoms you could experience with low estrogen levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Night sweats<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal dryness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low libido<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missed or irregular periods<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insomnia<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot flashes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability or moodiness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do have low estrogen levels, then your doctor will recommend an intervention that best suits your needs.

There are other factors, such as your hormones that can impact your body weight. In women, an imbalance in the estrogen and progesterone hormones leads to estrogen dominance, which contributes to weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>Estrogen dominance weight loss myths are quite common. The truth is that estrogen dominance does not promote <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/700-calories-a-day\/\">weight loss<\/a> but instead weight gain. You can counteract its effects by taking medications, eating healthy, or hormonal replacement therapy. Make sure to talk to your doctor before settling on any intervention for more insight into the benefits and risks of each strategy.\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Weight_Loss\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Weight_Loss\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.

Men also produce estrogen but in small amounts.\u00a0<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">It is the case with the hormone testosterone.
