have you ever wondered why your hormones seem to be out of whack, no matter how hard you try to balance them?
the answer might lie in your gut.
yes, you read that right!
your gut microbiome plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. in this blog, we'll explore the fascinating connection between hormones and the gut microbiome and how lavi can help you harness this knowledge for optimal health.
your gut microbiome is home to trillions of microorganisms that produce and regulate hormones, influencing everything from mood and energy to weight and fertility. an imbalance of gut bacteria, also known as dysbiosis, can disrupt hormone production, leading to issues like thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue, and menstrual irregularities.
so, what’s the relation between gut microbiome and hormones? here are some key connections:
- estrogen regulation: gut bacteria help metabolize and eliminate excess estrogen, reducing the risk of hormonal imbalances.
- thyroid function: gut health influences thyroid hormone production and conversion.
- cortisol balance: gut bacteria help regulate stress response and cortisol levels.
- insulin sensitivity: gut health impacts glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
