If you've ever wondered what gut health has to do with hormones, you're not alone.

A few ways the gut impacts our hormone balance is:

✅regulating our estrogen levels via the estrobolome🦠
✅converting thyroid hormone into its active form💪🏼
✅absorbing the macro & micronutrients that form the building block of our hormones🧱
✅detoxifying our bodies from the chemicals, heavy metals, pathogens, and other toxins we encounter in everyday life so our bodies can thrive!🧪
(This is by no means an exhaustive list.)

It's important to remember that the body is a system & when one system is out of whack, others surely will be too. This is why you can't "fix your hormones" without holistically addressing many other aspects of your health like gut health, liver detoxification, blood sugar balance & adrenal stabilization, etc.

After a particularly stressful month (shoutout to all of my Hurricane Ian girlies), my period came a day late and I’m not feeling so hot 😵‍💫

BUT am I surprised? Nope! This is how my body typically responds to significantly stressful events throughout the month so I totally saw this coming.

Sometimes I don’t realize how much stress I’ve been under until my period’s out of whack and this gives me a great hint that something is off (reason #163525 why I look forward to my period as biometric feedback, but I digress)

I was thinking about how many women aren’t aware of the way stress affects the body and may be totally thrown off if their period comes late, early, or with more PMS & pain than usual- which can often increase stress even more if you’re totally blindsided!

All of these changes are common reactions to stress and typically resolve within the next couple of cycles, as long as you’re able to get your stress under better control.

I’m curious, what changes have you noticed in your period after a stressful month? ⬇️

Did you notice the common denominator in the treatment of all hormonal imbalances 🤔 …

STRESS MANAGEMENT!

I know stress management is not s*xy or exciting BUT it has to be addressed whenever we are talking about hormone health.

You see, when you're chronically stressed, your body is using its resources to create more of the stress hormone (cortisol) and in doing so it must sacrifice making s*x hormones (only limited resources are available). Plus, if your body thinks it is being chased by a lion all the damn time, it doesn't think procreating should probably be a priority right now. I hope you understand how crucial stress management is!

Keep in mind these are general guidelines- its important to develop an individualized plan based on what is causing testosterone imbalances FOR YOU. For example, low testosterone may be related to nutritional deficiencies, chronic stress, overuse of alcohol, or a number of other things. You'll never truly fix the issue until you fix the underlying cause for you.

P.S. I mentioned in the post some supplements you might consider or even hormone replacement. In my opinion, supplements should always come after lifestyle changes and always always always be discussed with your HCP, herbalists, or someone experienced in supplement management that you can trust. There really is no 'one size fits all approach' and you cannot supplement your way out of a bad lifestyle; they are only meant to SUPPLEMENT the work you are already doing. Okay, getting off of my soapbox.

Women tend to focus on progesterone & estrogen when they think about hormonal balance, but did you know that testosterone is actually the most abundant hormone in women? Shocking, I know.

So as you can imagine, having imbalances in testosterone can have a huge range of effects on the body, including changes in fat storage, libido, mood, heart health, bone density, amongst others.

Symptoms of high testosterone are often seen in women with PCOS but can also be related to other disorders, like congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Symptoms of low testosterone are more common as we age but can also stem from a number of underlying disorders. These lists of symptoms are by no means exhaustive but if you experience a number of these symptoms, you may be dealing with a testosterone imbalance.

So now you may be thinking, 'okay, I think I have a testosterone issue but what's the next step?'. And you're in luck! I've got another post coming at ya later this week on supporting your T levels as a woman.
