Detoxification is central to understanding the functional landscape of each human being. An introduction to the process of detoxification, also referred to as biotransformation, will be presented.

The interaction of individual genetic variations and environmental factors such as diet, drugs and exposure to environmental chemicals can cause impaired detoxification and disrupt hormone balance. These causes potentially underlie many chronic health conditions including breast cancer, fibroids, endometriosis, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disease.

The role of estrogen metabolism in detoxification will be highlighted as well as identifying the various mechanisms through which dietary and nutritional factors may influence estrogen metabolism from the neonatal to menopausal life stages. Clinical applications of achieving hormone balance will be reviewed. We will conclude by discussing emerging nutritional approaches to women’s hormone health that every Registered Dietitian needs to know.
