Optimal Gut Health To Support Your Hormones
GUT HEALTH AND HORMONES — THE CONNECTION
By now, you’ve probably heard that both gut health and hormone health are important, but the two are also inextricably linked (i.e. the state of one’s health depends on the other, and vice versa).
In fact, many hormone imbalances begin in the gut, and the gut has a powerful impact on our hormones. This is because our gut microbiome:
+ Houses 70-80% of our immune system, which if disrupted or inflamed can lead to autoimmune conditions and hormone imbalances
+ Contains a group of bacteria known as the estrobolome, which is responsible for metabolizing and eliminating estrogen from the body
+ Absorbs nutrients from our food/supplements in order to synthesize hormones
+ Supports the elimination of toxins and chemicals that can otherwise lead to hormone imbalances
+ Works to keep blood sugar in check, critical for hormone balance
