There’s a reason we don’t sell a probiotic.

After more than a decade in integrative medicine, I became far more interested in what certain beneficial bacteria actually produce — including the Postbiotic butyrate.

Butyrate is one of the most important metabolites produced by the gut microbiome. It helps support the gut lining, intestinal inflammation, healthy motility, microbiome balance, and it has effects that extend well beyond the digestive system.

And that discovery is ultimately part of how Healus began.

We saw such a meaningful role for butyrate in practice that we wanted a reliable way to supplement it directly — which eventually led to our postbiotic supplement, Complete Biotic.

Why was butyrate one of my go-to supplements when supporting gut health in patients with autoimmune disease?

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid naturally produced by your gut bacteria when they ferment fiber — and it plays an important role in both gut and immune health.

It helps support the integrity of the gut lining, regulate intestinal inflammation, and promote regulatory T cells (Tregs), which play an important role in immune tolerance and keeping the immune response appropriately regulated.

Of course, there is no single supplement that “fixes” autoimmune disease. But supporting the gut through diet, fiber, lifestyle, and postbiotics like butyrate can be one piece of a much bigger picture.

Let’s talk about “leaky gut” and autoimmune disease.

The scientific term is increased intestinal permeability — and research has found it occurring alongside a number of autoimmune conditions.

But here’s the part that often gets oversimplified: the relationship can go both ways.

An unhealthy gut lining may contribute to immune activation and inflammation, while chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation can also negatively affect the gut lining and microbiome.

That can create a vicious cycle between gut health, inflammation, and the immune system.

So how do you help break that cycle?

That’s what I’m covering in Part 3: the gut health protocol I used with my autoimmune patients.

Follow along for the next reel.

Why did I almost always start with gut health when working with autoimmune patients — even when they had zero digestive symptoms?

Because your gut and immune system are constantly communicating.

A large portion of your immune system is associated with the gut, where it’s continually deciding what to tolerate and what may require an immune response.

And when gut health is compromised, it can potentially add another layer of immune activation to an already dysregulated system.

That doesn’t mean the gut causes every autoimmune disease. Autoimmunity is complex. But supporting gut health can be an important piece of the bigger picture.

In Part 2, I’m breaking down the gut lining — and why it matters in autoimmune disease.

Follow along for the rest of the series.

After more than a decade in integrative medicine, I developed a few gut health opinions that I’ll stand by. 👀

Gut health is about so much more than eliminating foods or finding the perfect probiotic. Stress and the nervous system, fiber, how you eat, your microbiome, sleep, movement, and your overall lifestyle all play a role in digestion.

And yes — I’m a big believer in postbiotics. After seeing the clinical impact they could have on digestion, the gut lining, inflammation, and microbiome health, we eventually created our own: Complete Biotic.

Which of my 5 gut health hot takes resonated with you the most👇

After more than a decade in integrative medicine, one thing became very clear: health is about so much more than diet, supplements, and lab results.

Chronic stress, draining relationships, anxiety around food, unresolved trauma, and a dysregulated nervous system can all influence the body — including digestion, hormones, inflammation, and immune health.

And on the other side of that? Joy, connection, laughter, community, and actually enjoying your life matter too.

Sometimes the things affecting our health the most aren’t the things we’re taught to look at.

Which of these unconventional health truths resonated with you most?

Perimenopause affects nearly every system in your body, including your gut. It is very common for women in their 40’s to experience sudden changes in their digestion. Such as an increase in acid reflux, bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, or IBS like symptoms.

As your hormones begin changing, so does your gut microbiome.

During perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone don’t simply decline, they fluctuate. Those hormonal shifts can influence the gut microbiome, changing the balance and diversity of bacteria that help support digestion, immune function, metabolism, and even communication with the brain.

This doesn’t mean that every digestive symptom is hormone related. But it does explain why so many women in their 40’s suddenly develop new digestive issues that they never experienced before.

The Postbiotic Butyrate can be a really help supplement at this time. Butyrate helps to lower inflammation in the gut, strengthen and repair the gut lining, regulate peristalsis, improve digestion, and balance the microbiome.

While we can’t stop perimenopause, we can support the systems that are adapting to those changes—and your gut is one of them.
Some of the biggest ways to support your gut during this transition include:

✓ Eating enough fiber (when tolerated)
✓ Reducing your intake of Inflammatory foods
✓ Managing chronic stress
✓ Supplementing with the Postbiotic Butyrate

Researchers are also becoming increasingly interested in postbiotics like butyrate because of the important role they play in supporting the gut lining, lowering inflammation, and overall gut health.

Perimenopause is a major transition, but understanding what’s happening inside your body can help you make more informed choices about how to support it.

One of the most fascinating discoveries when it comes to the gut-hormone connection, is that the conversation goes both ways.

We’ve talked about how hormones influence the gut, but your gut also plays a role in estrogen metabolism.

Researchers have identified a collection of gut bacteria called the estrobolome that helps process estrogen as it moves through the body.

And the balance of your microbiome can influence how much estrogen is reabsorbed and recirculated in your body.

It’s another reason why supporting gut health may become even more important during perimenopause.

As your hormones begin changing, so does your gut microbiome.

During perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone don’t simply decline, they fluctuate. Those hormonal shifts can influence the gut microbiome, changing the balance and diversity of bacteria that help support digestion, immune function, metabolism, and even communication with the brain.

Does that mean every digestive symptom is caused by hormones?

No.

But it may help explain why so many women suddenly develop bloating, reflux, constipation, food sensitivities, or IBS symptoms during this stage of life.

The more we understand how these systems work together, the more we can support our gut during this transition.
