Did you know your gut health plays a huge role in balancing your hormones?
The gut and endocrine system are in constant communication — what happens in your digestive tract can impact estrogen, thyroid hormones, cortisol, and more.
🔹 How Your Gut Affects Hormones:
Estrobolome: This is a collection of gut bacteria that help break down and recycle estrogen. An imbalance here can lead to excess estrogen, causing symptoms like PMS, weight gain, or mood swings.
Inflammation: Poor gut health can trigger inflammation, which interferes with hormone signaling and metabolism.
Nutrient Absorption: A healthy gut ensures you absorb key vitamins and minerals (like B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc) that support hormone production.
✅ Tips to Support Your Gut and Hormones:
Eat fiber-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to feed your good bacteria.
Include fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut) for probiotics.
Limit processed foods and sugar that feed harmful bacteria.
Stay hydrated to keep digestion smooth.
Consider a high-quality probiotic supplement after consulting with your provider.
🌿 Your Next Step:
Gut health is foundational — supporting it can lead to better energy, mood, and hormone balance overall.
