At Platt Wellness, we believe optimal men’s health isn’t just about testosterone. To truly protect your body and age with strength, you must look deeper—into the full hormonal picture.
For many men, one hormone quietly disrupts this balance: estrogen. Yes, men produce it, and when it builds up—due to aging, stress, or excess body fat—it can lead to a condition called estrogen dominance. One of the most serious consequences? An increased risk of prostate enlargement and even prostate cancer.
In this article, we’ll uncover how progesterone helps combat estrogen dominance, and how Platt Wellness supplements like DIM, Est-less, Zinc, and Progesterone Cream can help support a healthier, more hormonally balanced body—without resorting to synthetic hormones or risky medications.
Understanding Hormonal Imbalance in Men
After age 35, testosterone levels begin to decline gradually in most men. Meanwhile, estrogen levels may rise—especially in men who have:
- Higher body fat (which increases conversion of testosterone into estrogen via aromatase)
- Chronic stress (which depletes progesterone and shifts hormonal pathways)
- Poor liver detoxification (which prevents proper estrogen breakdown)
As estrogen climbs and progesterone falls, men enter a state of estrogen dominance.
What does estrogen dominance do?
- Stimulates the growth of prostate cells (leading to BPH or prostate enlargement)
- Increases risk of prostate cancer
- Reduces testosterone effectiveness
- Contributes to fat gain, especially around the belly and chest
- Leads to symptoms like low libido, fatigue, and muscle loss
The Link Between Estrogen Dominance and Prostate Cancer: What the Research Says
You may be surprised to learn that estrogen—not testosterone—is the real threat when it comes to prostate cancer risk.
Key Research Highlights:
- A landmark study published in Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2010) found that high levels of estradiol (a form of estrogen) were associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer in older men.¹
- Research in Endocrine Reviews (2008) explains that estrogens, especially when unopposed by progesterone, can promote inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage in prostate cells—creating an environment where cancer may thrive.²
- Animal studies also confirm that the combination of high estrogen and low testosterone is more carcinogenic to the prostate than testosterone alone.³
These findings challenge old assumptions. For years, testosterone was wrongly blamed for prostate cancer, but we now know that unchecked estrogen is a more serious concern—especially when progesterone is deficient.
Why Progesterone is Essential for Men
Progesterone isn’t just a female hormone. In men, it plays a protective, regulatory role—especially when it comes to estrogen and the prostate.
Benefits of progesterone in men include:
- Blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which is linked to hair loss and prostate issues
- Counters the stimulating effects of estrogen on prostate tissue
- Supports testosterone production
- Reduces inflammation in the body and prostate
- Promotes a healthier hormonal balance overall
At Platt Wellness, our Natural Progesterone Cream is physician-formulated to deliver safe, bio-identical progesterone that mimics the body’s natural production. A small amount applied daily may help reduce estrogen dominance and support prostate health without side effects.
DIM and Est-less: Natural Estrogen Detox Support
In addition to restoring progesterone, it’s vital to help the body safely eliminate excess estrogen. That’s where two of our most trusted supplements come in:
DIM (Diindolylmethane)
Found naturally in cruciferous vegetables, DIM supports liver detoxification of estrogen by promoting the breakdown of “bad” estrogens (like 16-alpha-hydroxyestrone) and increasing “good” metabolites.
For men, this translates to:
- Less estrogen dominance
- Improved testosterone-to-estrogen ratio
- Reduced risk of estrogen-driven conditions, including prostate issues
Est-less
Est-less combines DIM with additional herbal and nutrient co-factors that support healthy estrogen metabolism, detoxification, and hormonal balance. It’s ideal for men concerned with estrogen buildup or long-term prostate health.
Zinc: The Unsung Hero of Prostate Protection
Zinc is essential for male fertility, testosterone production, and immune defense—but it also plays a major role in the prostate.
Why Zinc Matters:
- The prostate gland contains more zinc than any other soft tissue in the body
- Zinc helps inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, reducing DHT buildup
- Zinc has been shown in studies to inhibit prostate tumor cell growth
- Deficiency is linked to enlarged prostate and inflammation
Platt Wellness Zinc provides pure, bioavailable support to round out your hormone health protocol.
