going on symptoms and some tests I beleive I need to address:

Low thyroid
Low progesterone (probs adrenal fatigue)
High estrogen
Yeast/Bacteria overgrowth and leaky gut
Blood sugar problems
Overweight.

I dont know which caused what, which came first, I just no I have these issues. If you could suggest a top 10 supplements (herbs, vits, mins) to set about that lot I'd be very grateful! I also fall into the category of an "under methylator" in that I am prone to high histamine. Id rather "attack from all angles" as opposed to go after the suspected first domino in the domino affect. Albeit your view on that welcome also. Maybe the issues above may point you to a common or central root cause?

First thing I have to say is to be very careful about diagnosing yourself with low progesterone and high estrogen.  Many people do this based on the misinforming claims made by progesterone sales sites.  Many of the symptoms often attributed to estrogen dominance are actually symptoms of progesterone dominance or of both.  For example, sales sites claim high estrogen suppresses the libido when actually it is progesterone that does this.  And they claim that estrogen causes weight gain and water retention when progesterone also does this.  Therefore, you need to be careful about self diagnosing hormone issues.

Here is a link to my write up on hormone balancing though:

As far as your undermethylation problem I prefer trimethylglycine (TMG) as a methyl donor.  It is stronger and cheaper than SAMe and dimethylglycine (DMG) and is not reliant on other factors such as intrinsic factor like B₁₂ is for absorption.

Eating foods high in quercetin such as yellow onions, apples, watercress, etc. will also help keep histamine levels under control.

Beyond that it would help a lot to know more specifics to your symptoms rather than vague terms such as "blood sugar problems".
