In this episode, I explain why healthy digestion and regular elimination matter for hormone balance. Your digestive system doesn’t just help you absorb nutrients, it also plays a role in providing the building blocks your body needs to make hormones and helping eliminate hormones once they’ve been used. When those elimination pathways become sluggish, symptoms often labeled as “estrogen dominance” may have more going on beneath the surface. In this episode, I talk about: ● Why digestion and hormone health are so closely connected ● How constipation can interfere with healthy hormone elimination ● Why “estrogen dominance” isn’t always as simple as having too much estrogen ● The roles of progesterone, stress, and blood sugar ● Why even your quieter symptoms deserve attention Your symptoms are communication from your body. The goal isn’t simply to silence them, it’s to understand what they may be telling you.
