In this episode Adrienne and I talk about the connection between gut health and hormones, something a lot of people never think to link together. The gut plays a huge role in breaking down estrogen, and when that process breaks down, it shows up as hormonal symptoms. Leaky gut fits into this too, and it can look like brain fog, skin issues or painful periods, not just digestion problems. By the end of this one you'll understand why the gut is often the missing first step in fixing hormonal imbalances.

We also talk about practical ways to support gut health through nutrition, blood sugar balance, managing stress, and even something as simple as how you eat your meals. Plus a quick look at our new course and how it dives into these foundational pieces before getting into the cycle and hormones themselves.
