Ep 28: How Your Gut Is Messing With Your Hormones: The Estrogen & Thyroid Connection

Are your hormone imbalances stemming from your gut? If you're dealing with signs of estrogen dominance like heavy periods, PMS, breast tenderness, headaches, and mood swings, but you aren't addressing your gut health, you're missing a key piece in getting better. In this episode, I cover the intricate relationship between gut health and hormonal balance, emphasizing how the gut microbiome influences hormones like estrogen and thyroid hormones. If you want to take a root cause approach to balancing your hormones, we have to take a look at your gut.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Hormonal imbalances often stem from gut health issues. Constipation can lead to excess estrogen in circulation. The gut microbiome regulates estrogen levels. Sluggish thyroid function can be stemming from your gut. Poor gut health, which leads to nutrient deficiencies, will negatively impact liver detoxification, thyroid function, and more. Balancing blood sugar is crucial for hormonal health. Functional testing can identify root causes of hormonal issues.   LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
