How your gut affects hormones
Your gut contains a collection of bacteria called the 'estrobolome' that specifically regulates oestrogen levels. When gut bacteria are imbalanced, oestrogen can be reabsorbed instead of eliminated, leading to oestrogen dominance and symptoms like PMS, heavy periods, and hormonal acne. The gut also influences thyroid hormone conversion and cortisol regulation. Healing the gut is often essential for restoring hormonal balance.
