Nothing fancy—just a quick dinner that happens to support your gut and your hormones.

I talk a lot about the gut-hormone link (see yesterday’s post for the why) 👈
But here’s the how:
👉 A simple mince + lentils combo gives your gut the fibre it loves
👉 Which helps your body manage estrogen more smoothly
👉 And might mean fewer hormone rollercoasters

It doesn’t need to be complicated. Just real food.

🌱 Save this as a reminder that hormone support can start in your frying pan.

Your gut and hormones are in constant conversation—especially during perimenopause.

One key messenger? The estrobolome—a group of gut bacteria that helps regulate how your body breaks down and clears estrogen.

When your gut is thriving, it supports hormone balance
But when gut health is off? Estrogen can build up or be recycled in ways that may worsen symptoms like:
• Heavier periods
• Breast tenderness
• Mood swings or bloating

🌱 Supporting your gut can mean fewer symptoms. Here's how:
🥦 Fiber-rich foods feed good bacteria
🥣 Fermented foods help boost diversity
🌿 Prebiotic-rich plants help fuel your microbiome

Some early research suggests that a healthy gut microbiome may help regulate estrogen levels and reduce inflammation (Baker et al., 2017).

✨ It’s not just what your hormones are doing—it’s how your gut handles them that can make a difference.
