Menopause Conversations - Ep 44 Oestrogen Detoxification with Dr Jacqueline Boden

I have wanted to talk about this topic for such a long time - and there's only one person who can do it justice - the brilliant Dr Jacqueline Boden who is a GP and menopause specialist. Estrogen detoxification is a topic I've wanted to talk about for ages as it appears to affect a growing number of people - especially during midlife and indeed the menopause transition. Having spoken with Dr Boden before about strategies to help estrogen detoxification-the topic of broccoli sprouts came up and the powerful way in which they can aid the process. Dr Boden is a huge fan of growing her own broccoli sprouts and in this video she gives us a demonstration from her kitchen! Broccoli sprouts belong to the cruciferous vegetable family, which has been studied extensively for their powerful anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. One meta-analysis—a study examining multiple studies—found that those who consumed a larger amount of cruciferous vegetables had a lower risk of mortality. Meaning, the more of these vegetables people ate, the less likely they were to die prematurely. Numerous studies also demonstrate a strong link between cruciferous vegetables and a lower risk of various cancers, including prostate, bladder, lung, and breast cancer. Cruciferous vegetables also decrease inflammation markers in humans, one of the leading causes of accelerated aging. Scientists credit sulforaphane for the health benefits of cruciferous vegetables. What is this super-nutrient and how does it manifest its power? To understand where sulforaphane comes from, let’s take a step back. Cruciferous vegetables contain various other nutrients, particularly glucoraphanin, which are found in their leaves, stems, and flowers. When cruciferous vegetables are chewed or chopped (or broken down in some way), an enzyme called myrosinase is released and reacts with glucoraphanin. Together, myrosinase and glucoraphanin produce a new compound called sulforaphane. To sum it up, sulforaphane is the end product of an enzymatic reaction that occurs when we consume cruciferous vegetables. But how does this have anything to do with getting rid of old Estrogen.... Estrogen dominance is a hormone imbalance that affects as many as 70% of women over the age of 35 and beyond. It occurs when there is either an excess of estrogen circulating through the body or when there is a dominance of estrogen compared to other important reproductive hormones such as progesterone. Estrogen can also become problematic if there is too much of one type of estrogen compared to the other types of estrogen. Estrogen is made in the ovaries, fat cells, adrenal glands, and the liver. There are 3 types of estrogen and these will fluctuate depending on the stage of life you are at: Estrone (E1) - Is dominant after menopause when your body stops making Estradiol (E2) and Estriol (E3) Estradiol (E2) – Is the dominant type of estrogen in women from when they start menstruating through to menopause Estriol (E3) – Is increased during pregnancy Here are the common symptoms of estrogen dominance: PMS Mood changes Breast tenderness and swelling Heavy periods Period pain Irregular periods Water retention Hair loss Weight gain and increased belly fat Bloating Reduced libido The importance of the liver Estrogen dominance is connected to the healthy functioning of your liver and whether you are recycling excess and harmful estrogens or detoxifying them from the body. The liver is responsible for converting estrogen into a water-soluble form that can be detoxified from the body. So, if your liver is not functioning optimally, rather than being eliminated the estrogen is recycled back into the bloodstream leading to estrogen dominance. This is often one of the main issues when someone has excess estrogen circulating in the body. Here are a few suggestions of how to support your liver so it can clear estrogen effectively: Eat foods rich in sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli or broccoli sprouts. Sulforaphane enhances sulfation, a liver detoxification pathway, which helps with the clearance of estrogen by the liver. So who better to ask to help discuss this topic than Dr Jacqueline Boden - As a cautionary note: please always consult your doctor before starting any supplements or indeed sprout consumption as it can affect other therapies and issues such as Anti convulsant therapy and complex thyroid conditions.
