Let's talk #GUTHEALING. ⁠ ⁠ Yes, I know I focus on #hormonalhealth, but GUT health is SO incredibly important to your overall health & critical to #healthyhormones. ⁠ ⁠ 

Why? ⁠ 

❤️ #Hormone recycling happens through the liver & the bowels- we need to have functioning bowels in order to process hormones at all. ⁠ 

❤️ Certain bacteria will help produce an enzyme called beta glucuronidase which is responsible for hormone recycling⁠ 

❤️ #Inflammation in the gut leads to inflammation in the body and has the ability to cause a variety of concerns including #autoimmune & other #hormoneimbalances. ⁠ ⁠

 Check out my latest video chatting about the 4 Rs of gut healing and why it is important to heal the #gut completely in order to create long term healing

Many of my clients are surprised when I recommend that they start with DIGESTIVE testing rather than hormone testing for their hormonal Imbalances. ⁠ ⁠ Have you ever heard of the #estrobolome? ⁠ 

The estrobolome is a collection of bacteria in the gut which is capable of metabolising and modulating the body's circulating #estrogen. It is the bacteria in the gut, and the estrobolome, that affects estrogen levels, which in turn can impact #weight, #libido, #mood and so much more!  ⁠ ⁠ Specific bacteria in the gut help process estrogen which needs to be bundled up & then shipped out of our body. 

Beta glucuronidase is an enzyme (produced by certain bacteria in the gut) that unbundles estrogen and allows it to be free and reused ⁠  Learn what we can obtain from digestive testing and why it's so critical to our hormonal health .
