Menopause, aka estrogen dominance, can happen at any age. With our exposure to xenoestrogens, menopause symptoms are occurring earlier and earlier. It really isn’t so much when your mother had it as you probably follow a similar lifestyle to hers, so you would run into estrogen dominance symptoms at about the same age give or take.

Here is a web page with more info and a list of symptoms…. You don’t have to have all the symptoms, and you may be early on, so this would be the time to nip it in the bud.

You can try natural progesterone, though they sell a really good one at that site, I prefer Progestelle from If you buy there, you can also get a free evaluation from Dr. Eckhart, and he will reply to your by e-mail personally.
