BONUS: Cancer, Estrogen and Detox: What Happens After Your Body Uses Estrogen

The Thyroid (and Hormone) Fixer Podcast: Thyropause, Menopause, Metabolism and How to Fix It

What happens to estrogen after your body has used it, and why does proper metabolism and elimination matter? In this bonus episode, I sit down with David Roberts and molecular biologist Dr. John Gildea to discuss estrogen metabolism, sulforaphane, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and the research connecting these processes to cancer and overall health.

We also talk about environmental estrogens, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and what we can realistically do to support the body's natural detoxification systems. Along the way, David shares what led him to study sulforaphane after his wife's cancer diagnosis and what their research has found about its potential effects on cancer cells.

What you’ll learn:

  • How your body metabolizes and eliminates estrogen
  • Why Nrf2 and NF-kappa B matter
  • What sulforaphane may do in the body
  • The connection between inflammation and detoxification
  • What we know about sulforaphane and cancer research
  • How microplastics and xenoestrogens affect the conversation
  • Why lifestyle still matters alongside supplements
