Hi fabulous women, at one point you thought it was your hormones disturbing you, and you went in for your hormone check. It was checked, and some were working while others were not. That's an imbalance. However, it's not the hormones you have to target. You want to know the reason why? Your gut is the reason they stopped working.
Here's the connection your doctor never explained.
The gut is where estrogen gets processed for elimination.
When the gut microbiome is disrupted, specifically a group of bacteria called the estrobolome.
Estrogen that should be packaged up and cleared out gets deconjugated and recirculated back into the bloodstream.
The result is estrogen dominance.
Not because your body is producing too much estrogen, but because it cannot clear what it's already produced.
So this drives the bloating, the mood shifts, the breast tenderness, the heavy periods, and the weight accumulation in hips and thighs that doesn't respond to diet, all of it.
And it doesn't stop at estrogen.
The gut produces 90% of the serotonin in your body.
So the neurotransmitters that govern your stress response, your sleep, and your capacity to regulate emotion are manufactured in the gut, and they are communicated upward through the vagus nerve to the brain.
So dysbiosis (gut bacteria imbalance) is not a digestive problem in isolation.
It is a hormone problem, a mood problem, a sleep problem, and a reason your hormone optimization protocol has plateaued.
If no one has ever run a comprehensive gut panel alongside your hormone workup, your hormones have never been fully investigated.
So comment "Labs & Help" below, and I'll engage with and send you what a proper baseline investigation looks like.
