Uterine fibroids, while benign, can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like pain, pelvic discomfort, and frequent urination, especially after age 35.

These muscle growths in the uterus are often exacerbated by excess estrogen but don't typically cause heavy bleeding.

Prevention is key, but if you're already dealing with fibroids, here are straightforward, actionable steps to manage and potentially reduce them quickly.

Remember - Fibroids are much easier to prevent than they are to treat.

1️⃣ Reduce Alcohol

Alcohol impairs our liver’s ability to metabolize or detoxify estrogen.  There is a strong association between alcohol consumption and fibroids.

2️⃣ Avoid Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

Everyday items like plastics and pesticides contain chemicals that disrupt your hormonal balance.

Minimize your exposure to keep estrogen levels in check and reduce fibroid stimulation.

3️⃣ Maintain a healthy gut!

A healthy gut is essential in eliminating excess estrogen. Incorporate **digestive enzymes** and apple cider vinegar before meals to improve digestion. These small changes can lead to quicker relief from fibroid symptoms.

4️⃣ Adequate Fiber

Track your food in a MyFitnessPal app, and work to get 25-30g of fiber per day from real foods.

Foods like berries, cruciferous vegetables, lentils, and seeds not only improve your overall health but also aid in estrogen detoxification.
