Estrone Explained (Part 2): The “Forgotten Estrogen” and Why It’s Not the Bad Guy
In this episode — Part 2 of our Estrone Series — Dr. McCarthy takes a deeper dive into estrone, the often misunderstood and overlooked estrogen. Learn:
Why estrone isn’t the “bad” estrogen it’s made out to be
How body fat, inflammation, and lifestyle influence estrone levels
The connection between estrone, insulin resistance, and breast health
Why oral estrogen can worsen symptoms for some women
Natural ways to support estrogen balance, including diet, nutrients, and detox pathways
Dr. McCarthy explains how understanding estrone can empower women through perimenopause and menopause — and why context and comprehensive lab work matter more than quick fixes.
