EPISODE 26: Estrogen Dominance Today we discuss estrogen dominance: what it is, how it happens, and what we typically do to fix it.

Far too often individuals (and coaches!) will overlook internal health. But if your body isn't healthy from the inside, nothing you do will make it react or change on the outside. 🏆 THE EXCELLENCE CARTEL 🏆 Follow us on Instagram: scoobyprep1_ifbbpro - Jason Theobald firstcalloutfitness - Jeffrey Su jeffunbreakableblack - Jeff Black the_excellence_cartel - The Excellence Cartel IG Page #theexcellencecartel www.physiqueeducationcollective.com

The Excellence Cartel is a free podcast hosted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1210435248&amp;__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&amp;eid=ARD2TDH6EDKHvk6kve339nOumiQ1wefUHCRlKsu4Ko8JMwuIHMufTPI8ImiE95OhKOZBSml3cLADCGFD&amp;fref=mentions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jeff Black</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jeffreydavidsu?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&amp;eid=ARBKdHr8vfhQ_i_dqlhlwrnA_Zhj0R5o-Xryk0s11IEVeiiRIaVOJFc7rqThbE5OfIktKzHFEIJJQ8uT&amp;fref=mentions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jeffrey Su</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jason.theobald.37?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&amp;eid=ARAejRNmfIwHHyBRbCRNtqvaY2KdtTBOGmzpmxPsV_QY5pebjySoXvq4oULfasA2XDT20dzUn9W9w0Yt&amp;fref=mentions" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jason Theobald</a>. Our mission is to bring to YOU our musings and experiences in the business of fitness. Leadership values, coaching methodology, and what it takes to build and maintain a strong brand. There are plenty of podcasts about all the technical stuff around training and nutrition, but not too much about the strategy and mindset that goes into creating a successful platform within the industry. Jeff, Jason, and I may not know it all nor are any of us the most successful out there but we’ve learned a trick or two in our experiences growing each of our own businesses. The Excellence Cartel is a sneak peak into our brains, the wackiness that goes on inside, and the greatness we each hope to inspire in all of YOU. Enjoy!
