A member asked:
Can one increase estrogen naturally with soy or dairy products. or what's the best birth control pill for balancing hormones.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Naturally is iffy: Some soy products can increase estrogen but there is no clear way to determine which ones increase it and by how much. Too much can be bad too.Dairy is of no benefit. Much wiser to see doc and check levels and then decide on a treatment that works in a predictable, well-studied way.
