Anxiety / Estrogen Dominance

Hi All,

I hope everyone is doing well

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the awful estrogen dominance / hormone imbalance and anxiety? My anxiety got much better the last two months and now with a decided move from California to the UK and adding in lots more to my routine for this I am finding my anxiety is coming back a little more again. I am noticing it is more prominent right before my period and the first 1-2 days into my period and also in the late afternoon around 5-8PM. Ever since I went off Birth Control June of last year was when my anxiety and panic attacks started. I never really had much issues with anxiety before except for when I was super overwhelmed in college and during my first job out of college. I am starting to think this anxiety that has been remaining that I can't seem to kick and also the anxiety that has recently started up again this past week has something to do with a hormone imbalance since I never had a problem with it before. It doesn't seem that the NB approach really takes on too much of correcting any hormonal issues, although I know it will help things once you correct your thyroid and adrenal ratios which I am working on. Overall I am feeling so much better than this time last year when I had to go on disability but this anxiety certain times of the month that seems to fluctuate with my cycle is SO frustrating. and also Heart Palps again which I wasn't having really at all the last two months - I think these were linked to this months PMS and also incorporating a little gluten and Sugar back into my diet i.e. liver getting overwhlemed bc I had a headache this month as part of my PMS too.

I am also curious if anyone gets adrenaline rushes, it always seems like these certain times I mentioned above always accompany a sort of adrenaline rush feeling I get in my stomach I can actually feel it moving up from my stomach and it's super weird. It also seems that anything I get excited about, which I tend to be often I get the adrenaline rush and the anxiety kicks in.

Anyone else have any experience with this?

Thanks so much! Tweet
