How gut health affects hormone balance

Writer's picture: Dr. Tracy McCarthyDr. Tracy McCarthy

Feeling like you're struggling to balance your hormones? Let's talk about your gut health.



But here's the thing: your gut health also impacts hormone balance in another important way.


Let's focus on estrogen, a key player in hormone regulation.


Normally, estrogen binds to proteins in your liver before heading to your gut for elimination. But there's an enzyme in your intestines that can mess with this process. By breaking apart the estrogen-protein bond, it allows estrogen to be reabsorbed into your body, leading to hormone imbalances.


Ever heard of estrogen dominance? It's a common issue linked to gut health.


Stay tuned for more tips on improving your gut health.
