Dr. Tabatha Barber explains how perimenopause affects ovulation in women in their 40s. Toxic exposures like radiation and heavy metals speed up egg loss, causing reduced ovulation and low progesterone. The result is a temporary estrogen dominance pattern as your body shifts hormone production.
The last reason is perimenopause period. Like, in general, once you start getting north of 40, you are naturally running out of eggs to ovulate each month. And environmental issues can cause you to run out of eggs earlier because they, they can die and so they don't ovulate. And so if you have a high toxic burden, you've had radiation, you've had heavy metal exposures, you've had lots of illnesses, especially viral IL is, you might have fewer eggs to ovulate, and you might go into this premature space of not ovulating, not making progesterone. That in turn causes what we say an estrogen dominance picture for a while, but it shifts your estrogen production.
