Ad Your gut and your hormones need to be best friendsā¦because when one is off, the other one spirals too! This is important for everyone but ESPECIALLY those of us dealing with endometriosis!Ā
A quick explanation on why: a group of gut bacteria (called your estrobolome) are basically uncharge of activating, deactivating or recycling your oestrogen (YES this happens in the gut!). So, if our estrobolome if offā¦our oestrogen can go haywire and for those of us with endo, this can be a nightmare!Ā
One of the best ways you can support that gorgeous group of bacteria, is by FEEDING YOUR GUT..specifically pre and probiotics!Ā
PREBIOTICS are the food for your good bacteria. Think of them as fertiliser for your gut and you can find them in things like:
garlic, onions, leeks, bananas, oats and asparagus!Ā
PROBIOTICS are the actual good bacteria. They help with digestion, reducing inflammation and supporting how your body metabolises oestrogen. Youāll find them in things like:
sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, live yoghurt, miso and kombucha.
The issue is,..are we realistically eating ALL of these foods every single day? Probably not - I struggle with this too! Im food first always, but for as something as important as gut health, this is where I supplement (I only supplement with 2 things - so this is a bid deal for me!)Ā
I specifically take EpetÅme (if you comment āepetomeā Iāll send you the link to my one!) - the reason this is my fave and has been for well over a year is that:Ā
1. Itās a 2 in 1 (itās both a pre and probiotic)
2. Itās only 1 capsule a day (nice and easy)Ā
3. Itās got everything I want in it - simple!!Ā
For anyone managing their hormones and gut health, I think itās a no brainer! Remember - food first ALWAYSā¦thereās a ton of examples in this post, but if you need the extra help, then EpetÅme might work for you too!Ā For someone managing endo and wanting to actually optimise my routine rather than juggling ten different supplements, itās been a game changer.
