Quick takeaways

Estrogen dominance is a symptom, not a standalone condition, affected by irregular ovulation and lower progesterone levels.

Menopause marks the depletion of a woman's egg supply, impacting fertility irreversibly with age.

Hormone therapy, like estrogen and progesterone, aids in managing menopausal symptoms and offers cardiovascular protection when tailored to individual risks.

It emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes such as insulin resistance and egg quality issues rather than simply labeling patients with estrogen dominance.
