I’ve been talking lately about hormones … can I help with PMS struggles, perimenopause changes, and menopause symptoms? And the answer is yes! Its great that womens health and hormone transitions are getting the attention and consideration we women deserve. And women deserve an individualized, whole person approach to these hormone shifts. It’s more than just taking estrogen and progesterone,
- its how and what you are eating, digesting, and absorbing nourishment;
-its how you’re gut and liver are supporting healthy elimination. your gut microbes and hormones help regulate one another, its called the estrobolome. This is key in healthy hormone balance at all stages of life and is very often Not addressed! Some clinical studies show that women have less hormone symptoms when they address their digestive health.
- finally its lifestyle - your sleep and how you are handling stress because our stress hormones connect with our s*x hormones as part of a whole person picture.

I hope that is some new insight and if you have more questions about your needs, use my free discovery call so we can figure out what’s best for you.

Gut and Breath Work - slow, deep breathing is a key support to gut health. When we are holding our breath from stress and anxiety, we are activating our fight or flight/sympathetic nervous system. This turns off digestion, peristalsis, and blood flow, leading to increased feelings of bloating, belching, and indigestion.
Slow, deep breathing activates our Rest. Digest. Recover/ parasympathetic nervous system. This allows digestion to begin and helps us get nourishment from our food.
Plus, deep breathing, like belly breathing, physically massages our digestive organs, increases blood flow, enhances gastric emptying which helps relieve constipation, bloating, and indigestion.

Try taking a belly breath several times during your day to support your gut health- at red lights, after every email sent, and especially before meals.

Digestion is the Key to the equation.

Food is medicine only when we can digest, absorb, and create from it.

How is your digestion?
