October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — but the conversation about estrogen and its true role in breast cancer risk is still far from complete.
For decades, estrogen has been prescribed as the go-to hormone for menopause relief — helping with energy, skin, and vaginal dryness. But what many women were never told is that too much estrogen — especially unbalanced by progesterone — can quietly increase their breast cancer risk.
👉 Here’s what recent research confirms:
A 2019 reanalysis of the landmark Women’s Health Initiative (Chlebowski et al., JAMA) found that women using combined estrogen and progestin therapy (synthetic) had a significantly higher risk of developing breast cancer — and a greater chance of recurrence.
The problem isn’t estrogen alone — it’s estrogen dominance: when estrogen’s growth-promoting effects go unchecked by protective progesterone or proper detoxification pathways.
Even more concerning, elevated estrogen often doesn’t show up on blood tests. This phenomenon, sometimes called “estrogen kickback,” happens when the body fails to fully clear estrogen. Instead, it gets recycled — re-binding to receptors and continuing to stimulate tissue growth.
💡 This is why estrogen detoxification support matters.
Our new DIM-PRO formula builds on our original Est-Less product by adding Calcium D-Glucarate (CDG) — a powerful nutrient shown to reduce beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme that contributes to that “estrogen kickback” effect.
Together, DIM + CDG help metabolize estrogen down its protective pathways and reduce the buildup of aggressive estrogens (estrone and estradiol) linked to cell proliferation and higher breast cancer risk.
✨ DIM-PRO helps your body:
Dr. Michael Platt has long emphasized that balancing hormones — not just replacing them — is the key to true wellness. Progesterone protects against cell overgrowth, while DIM-PRO enhances your body’s ability to eliminate excess estrogen.
Because awareness isn’t just about early detection — it’s about prevention through education, balance, and smart support.
