Swap plastic for glass or at least BPA (Bisphenol-A) free plastic. For containers, stainless steel or glass is best.
Eat organic , pesticides are sources of xenoestrogens and other endocrine disruptors.
Choose the meat and dairy you eat wisely (and reduce your consumption): Animals raised using conventional methods are fed harmful synthetic hormones. These hormones bioaccumulate in animals over time and remain in the animal’s body even after slaughter. When we eat meat or dairy, we are consuming what the animal has consumed.
Be careful about the water you drink: tap water is still questionable , because the residues of hormones (e.g. thrown into wastewater) and pesticides are not necessarily measured until today, there is no European standard regulating these substances in tap water. They are said to be microdoses, but for me it still has a harmful impact in the long term , because we drink water every day. Water in plastic bottles, no thanks (plastic = endocrine disruptors). So I advise you in this case to filter your tap water with a carbon filter, in my opinion the healthiest and most ecological form.
Choose your cosmetics wisely : they are a very important source of endocrine disruptors for women and therefore promote excess estrogen. I advise you to download the "CLEAN BEAUTY" application which allows you to analyze cosmetic labels, as soon as you see the word "endocrine disruptor" on one of the analyses, I advise you to do without this cream, shampoo, makeup or other cosmetic.
Hormonal contraceptives : pill or hormonal IUD, I advise you to take stock of your contraceptive method. It is quite easy to get the pill, but you also have to think about the long-term duration of taking it and the effects it produces . Personally, after 10 years on the pill, I switched to the copper IUD and apart from the pain of insertion (before having children) I can tell you that it is really effective: zero hormones and it is not restrictive.
Phytoestrogens : soy for example, it 's a whole debate . For my part I can say that it's not necessarily a source of concern , because these are products that can be very beneficial under certain conditions, and that everything depends on the state of your microflora and the quantity consumed , a bit like the coffee debate. So moderation seems to me to be the best advice and that will go in the right direction to fight against excess estrogens.
The gut microbiome is one of the main regulators of circulating estrogens.
Disruption of the gut microbiome leads to decreased circulating estrogens.
Alterations in the gut microbiome can lead to estrogen-mediated pathologies.
Interventions that alter gut microbiome diversity impact estrogen-mediated diseases.

Essential oil capsules at Pranarom were one of the products I recommended: OLEOCAPS No2 - Intestinal Health or PRANACAPS Origan+ can be a good option. To be taken as a treatment of 10-15 days maximum at a dose of 1-2 capsules per day depending on digestive sensitivity. You can find them in pharmacies or on the internet.
The other product that I really like is the one from BIOPHENIX laboratories - Équilibre Mucilyse Biofilms to be taken as a 10-day treatment with a dose of 2 capsules twice a day.
The product I like is the one from the Herbolistique laboratory: INTESTINAL PERMEABILITY which contains turmeric, L-Glutamine and L-Methionine (two important amino acids to maintain the good integrity of the intestinal wall) and other plants. To be taken by 3 capsules morning and evening for 1 month.
Liver damage is thought to impair its ability to metabolize and inactivate estrogens, resulting in increased circulating estrogen levels (Glass et al., 1940). However, it has been reported that changes in steroid hormone levels can occur before liver function is compromised (Becker, 1993), suggesting additional mechanisms by which liver disease causes estrogen excess.
