I\\u2019m SO excited for you to hear this week's episode because your gut is one of the MOST IMPORTANT aspects when it comes to your health (if not THE most important)! Your gut is responsible for absorbing nutrients which helps you make the hormones you need AND break down and eliminate the ones you don\\u2019t. It has its organisms/bacteria that add up to MORE than the amount of cells in our body!! Those organisms influence our mood, weight, inflammation & overall hormonal health. Your gut is responsible for moving hormones out of the body and helping you detoxify.
When your gut isn\\u2019t functioning properly, you can experience anxiety, depression, headaches, joint pain, fatigue, difficulty gaining or losing weight and hormone imbalances.
You need a healthy gut to remove excess estrogen and other waste from the body. Estrogen is moved out of the body through the bowels so when your gut function is compromised estrogen goes back into circulation in your body which leads to those excess estrogen symptoms of bloating, cramping, heavy periods, irritability a.k.a. PMS. You need to poop at least once a day to remove the excess estrogen your body no longer needs so if you\\u2019re constipated, you\\u2019re most likely suffering from estrogen excess.
Leaky gut leads to widespread inflammation and hormone disruption throughout the body. We could get a leaky gut when the cells of our intestinal lining are compromised a.k.a. little holes that are food particles go through and into the bloodstream. This is caused by stress, medications, eating foods you\\u2019re sensitive to, birth control, gluten, low fiber diet, pesticides, high sugar diet & more.
When you have leaky gut, toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles make their way through your intestinal lining & it sets off your immune system because your immune system doesn\\u2019t recognize them so it starts defending them. This results in an inflammatory attack by your immune system. Leaky gut leads to food sensitivities and immune disorders like autoimmune disease.
