Gut Health & Hormones: The Hidden Connection

Gut Health & Hormones: The Hidden Connection

How Your Gut Affects Hormones

1. The Estrobolome: Gut Bacteria & Estrogen Balance

Your gut microbiome houses a special group of bacteria known as the estrobolome, which helps metabolise and regulate estrogen. When your gut is balanced, excess estrogen is properly broken down and eliminated. However, poor gut health can lead to estrogen dominance—a common issue linked to PMS, bloating, weight gain, and heavy periods.

Support it with Fiber-rich foods (flaxseeds, leafy greens, legumes) and probiotic-rich foods (fermented veggies, kefir, miso).

Inner Bloom Powder: This gut-supportive blend helps with digestion, microbiome balance, and clearing excess estrogen via a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut, creating the ideal environment for hormone harmony.

2. The Gut-Hormone Axis: Digestion, Energy & Stress

Your gut and endocrine system constantly communicate. Inflammation, leaky gut, and dysbiosis (microbial imbalance) can disrupt hormone production, leading to imbalances in cortisol, thyroid hormones, and insulin—which impact energy, metabolism, and stress resilience.

Support it with Bone broth, slippery elm, and zinc-rich foods to heal the gut lining.

Body Balance our super greens: This powerhouse blend is packed with nutrient-dense greens, alkalizing herbs, and anti-inflammatory herbs to nourish the gut, support liver detoxification, and promote overall vitality. A healthy gut means better nutrient absorption, stable energy, and balanced hormones.

3. The Skin-Hormone Connection: Radiate from Within

Hormonal imbalances and poor gut health often show up on the skin as acne, dullness, dryness, or premature aging. When digestion and hormone regulation are in sync, your skin reflects that balance with a natural, healthy glow.

Support it with: Prebiotic foods (onions, garlic, leeks and berries) and skin-loving herbs like chamomile and calendula.

Radiance Powder: Packed with collagen, hyaluronic acid, trimella & turkey tail mushrooms, gotu kola, and much more, this formula deeply nourishes the skin, supports hydration, and promotes elasticity—working from the inside out to give you radiant, glowing skin.
