E31: Wonder WHY You Have Hormone Symptoms? How Impaired Gut Function (Leaky Gut, Histamines, & Bacterial Overgrowth) Can Impact Hormone Balance
Show Notes

When talking about hormone balance, I'm always asking WHY and looking for the underlying causes of hormone imbalance. Gut health is one cause I want to talk about today.

Gut health is so important when it comes to everything in your body – especially energy, periods, detoxification, and mood symptoms. So, to have really good energy, a stable mood, and good periods, your gut needs to be in order. That’s what we’re covering today in this episode of Happily Hormonal.

  • [01:51] How digestion works and why yours may be slowed down
  • [06:06] What happens in your intestines when you’re processing food
  • [10:30] What can happen when you have gut dysfunction
  • [13:13] Bacterial overgrowth: what happens to your body
