Today on the Gut Health Reset Podcast, we are discussing hormones and your gut health with returning guest Esther Blum! Do you know how your gut bacteria affect your hormone levels? The gut and the endocrine system are intimately connected, and imbalances in one can lead to problems in the other. Good gut health is so important for maintaining a healthy balance of hormones, and vice versa. That’s why, in today’s episode, we explore everything from how the microbiome changes for women during menopause, to practical, actionable tips and diet recommendations to help you balance your hormones!

We will answer these questions:

- What role does the microbiome play in regulating your hormones?

- Why should we be cautious about high estrogen levels?

- What foods can you use to help balance your hormones?

- Why do women gain weight during menopause?

- What can you do if you’re entering menopause with subpar gut health?

- And more!
