In this episode, I’m diving into the estrobolome, the powerful community of gut bacteria that plays a major role in how your body processes and clears estrogen. If you’ve been told your hormones are “normal” but you’re still struggling with heavy periods, worsening PMS, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, or cycles that keep getting shorter, your gut may be the missing piece.
I’m explaining: • What the estrobolome is and how it impacts estrogen detoxification • Why estrogen clearance matters just as much as hormone production • The role of beta-glucuronidase and how estrogen gets recycled back into the body • Signs your gut may be contributing to hormone imbalance • How constipation, bloating, dysbiosis, and low motility affect hormone health • Why GI Map and DUTCH testing can uncover issues standard labs miss • The connection between gut health, serotonin, PMS, and PMDD • How scar tissue, pelvic floor dysfunction, and inflammation can impact digestion and hormone symptoms
I also share a client story about how improving gut health and incorporating hands-on bodywork helped dramatically reduce digestive discomfort and hormone-related symptoms.
If you feel like you’ve tried everything for your hormones and nothing is fully working, it may be time to look deeper at your gut health and estrogen detox pathways.
