For many women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the underlying problem isn’t just excess testosterone — it’s estrogen dominance.
Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen levels outweigh progesterone, disrupting the delicate balance that governs your cycle, mood, and metabolism. It can amplify classic PCOS symptoms — from weight gain and mood swings to irregular periods and fertility challenges.
At Cheval Wellness, we specialize in identifying and correcting estrogen dominance through functional hormone testing and personalized treatment plans. Our goal is to help you feel balanced, clear-headed, and in control again.
Estrogen dominance doesn’t always mean your estrogen is “too high.”
In many cases, your progesterone is too low in comparison — creating an imbalance that throws your entire endocrine system off rhythm.
This can happen naturally during perimenopause, postpartum recovery, or with conditions like PCOS — where irregular ovulation means your body isn’t producing enough progesterone to counterbalance estrogen.
Because these symptoms overlap with other hormonal disorders, proper testing is essential to confirm the root cause.
PCOS and estrogen dominance often go hand in hand.
When you don’t ovulate regularly (a hallmark of PCOS), your body doesn’t release enough progesterone — allowing estrogen to stay unopposed.
Meanwhile, insulin resistance and inflammation can further increase estrogen production and impair liver detoxification, creating a hormonal “traffic jam.”
This cycle can worsen:
At Cheval Wellness, we address both conditions simultaneously — balancing hormones, improving liver detox pathways, and restoring natural hormone rhythm.
Your treatment plan begins with a comprehensive hormone evaluation to assess:
We use Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) to restore balance between estrogen and progesterone.
This can include:
Your liver is responsible for metabolizing and clearing excess estrogen. When it’s overloaded, estrogen recirculates — worsening symptoms.
We focus on optimizing detox pathways through:
Because excess fat tissue produces estrogen, managing weight is key to reversing estrogen dominance.
Our team combines medical weight loss programs, metabolism boosters, and lifestyle support to reduce adipose-driven estrogen.
Chronic stress raises cortisol, which competes with progesterone — worsening estrogen dominance.
We help you implement strategies for better sleep, stress reduction, and exercise balance to naturally support hormonal harmony.
When estrogen and progesterone are balanced, you can expect noticeable improvements in:
Most women begin noticing results within 6–12 weeks of personalized care.
If you’re feeling off-balance, gaining weight for no reason, or struggling with mood and cycle changes, estrogen dominance may be the missing link.
At Cheval Wellness, we’ll help you understand your hormones — and bring them back into harmony.
