Fibroids 101: Surgery & Natural Support, Estrogen Reduction, Fiber, and Yoni Steaming | Period Besties Podcast
On the Period Besties podcast, hosts discuss a listener question from a woman of color about fibroids, options to reduce them, and alternatives to surgery. They explain that surgery can sometimes be the best first step for relief from heavy bleeding, cramping, anemia, fatigue, and pelvic pain/pressure, and emphasize surgery is not a failure—especially before making diet and lifestyle changes to reduce regrowth.
They share risk statistics by race/ethnicity, discuss estrogen dominance as a key factor, and recommend strategies to support estrogen clearance and liver health: increasing fiber (including a daily raw carrot), eating cruciferous vegetables, adding healthy fats, reducing alcohol and caffeine, minimizing toxins (fragrance products, plastics), and cutting back on soda/junk foods.
They also describe yoni steaming practices and cautions around herbs and essential oils, and invite listeners to share updates and questions.
