Bloating, cramps and skin issues can all be signs of a hormonal imbalance. Did you know the gut microbes play a crucial role in the balance of our hormones?
It is important to address gut health to balance our hormones as they are constantly in communication.
When hormones are balanced, you should have normal bowel movements unless there is a gut infection.
Studies show that gut dysbiosis can be directly impacted by a hormonal imbalance. A common imbalance of estrogen can impact the gut by causing bloating, fluid retention and sluggish digestion.Â
A HEALTHY GUT MEANS HEALTHY HORMONES
We can support the balance of hormones by focusing on our gut health and ensuring there is a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut.
The Bacteria that live in your gut have many crucial functions, including producing certain vitamins and maintaining a healthy immune system.
Here are some ways you can begin to balance out your hormones:
Plant diversity: Fibre promotes a healthy microbiome and decreases the activity of the microbial enzyme beta-glucuronidase
Probiotic-rich foods: Probiotic foods help to diversify the gut microbiome and to create a healthy balance
Prebiotic-rich foods: Prebiotic foods feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Reduce alcohol, refined sugar & grains: Alcohol and refined foods can alter the gut microbiome and feed the bad bacteria in the gut
Avoid toxic products (cleaning & personal): Many ingredients are known to disrupt hormones
Manage stress: Stress can negatively impact the gut microbiome
