Did you know your hormones and gut health are deeply connected? The balance between these systems affects everything from digestion to inflammation to overall well-being.
Here’s how some key hormones influence your gut:
Estrogen – Supports healthy digestion and gut motility while promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Progesterone – Helps calm inflammation but can also slow gut movement, sometimes leading to constipation.
Thyroid hormones – Regulate metabolism, enzyme production, and nutrient absorption—vital for proper digestion.
Cortisol (the stress hormone) – Short bursts of stress can slow digestion, while chronic stress may lead to IBS or inflammation.
When these hormones fall out of balance, your gut often feels it first. The good news? You don’t have to live with discomfort.
