Your gut microbiome may be affecting your hormones more than you realize.
Most women have never heard of the estrobolome—the part of your gut microbiome that helps regulate estrogen. If your gut bacteria are out of balance, it can affect hormone balance, contribute to bloating, make perimenopause and menopause symptoms feel worse, and even make stubborn weight loss more difficult.
Your liver does its job by preparing used estrogen to leave your body. But when your gut microbiome isn’t thriving, certain gut bacteria can reactivate that estrogen and send it back into your bloodstream instead of helping your body eliminate it.
The good news? Your estrobolome is influenced by the choices you make every day.
✨ Here are a few simple ways to support it:
🥗 Eat more fiber-rich foods like beans, lentils, flaxseeds, oats, fruits, vegetables, onions, and garlic.
🥣 Include fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kimchi, or sauerkraut to help support a healthy gut microbiome.
💧 Reduce excess sugar and alcohol, and prioritize stress management to help keep your gut bacteria in balance.
A healthy gut microbiome doesn’t just support digestion—it plays an important role in hormone balance, healthy estrogen metabolism, weight management, lowering inflammation and feeling your best during perimenopause and menopause.
If you’ve been struggling with menopause weight gain, bloating, hormone imbalance, or you feel like your body has changed and you’re not sure why, your gut may be one piece of the puzzle.
