If you’re stuck in that frustrating loop of “normal” thyroid labs, constant low energy, digestive issues, mood swings, or just feeling like your metabolism is in slow motion—and you’ve got a sneaking suspicion estrogen is playing a bigger role than anyone admits—then Everything Estrogen Made Easy by DanM@CowsEatGrass is hands-down one of the best resources out there.
This 521-page beast (with around 1,400 references!) dives deep into the stress-estrogen-thyroid mess that so many of us live with, and it does it in a way that’s actually readable. No dry textbook vibes—it’s got a clever, no-nonsense tone with real humor mixed in, heavily inspired by Ray Peat’s ideas. It calls out the BS about “subclinical” hypothyroidism being no big deal and shows how estrogen dominance quietly tanks your energy, gut, and mental clarity.
What I love most? It’s empowering instead of scary. It gives practical ways to protect progesterone, lower estrogen load, and fire up metabolism again—things like using sugar strategically (yes, as medicine, not the enemy), focusing on nutrient-dense foods, and simple lifestyle tweaks that actually move the needle.
As someone who’s spent years in pharmacy dealing with hormones and supplements, I find this book incredibly useful for both my own understanding and explaining things to patients in functional or wellness settings. It’s not just theory; it’s actionable and hopeful.
If you’re serious about reclaiming your metabolic health, grab it. Five stars, no question.
