13Exhaustion

Fatigue and exhaustion can be the result of too much estrogen. When estrogen levels are high and you don’t get enough sleep, this of course leads to fatigue and sleep deprivation. While exhaustion and fatigue could be the cause of many other factors, but when all of them could be ruled out, then its most probably an increase of estrogen that is causing you the problem.

The best way to combat high estrogen levels is to go to your doctor first for a correct diagnosis. Besides your doctors expert treatment, you could also support and regulate the problem by avoiding alcohol, exercising more often, try mostly organic food and consume helpful food items that contribute to low estrogen such as berries, flaxseed, pomegranates, barley and oats. Get enough sleep every night and maintain a healthier diet.
