What's up with the gut?
Balanced hormones require a balanced gut. ⚖️
Many hormonal related issues (PMS, irregular periods, fatigue, acne, hair loss, PCOS, etc.) are actually the consequence of an unhappy gut. We need to heal the gut in order to balance our hormones. Our small and large intestines contain trillions of microbes🦠! These microbes make up our gut microbiome.
Stress, environmental toxins, poor sleep, medications, the food we eat, etc. affect our gut. When our gut microbiome is out of wack so too are our hormones.

What you can do about it:
The most helpful thing you can do to improve your gut health is to eat a healthy diet!
Eat whole foods 🥬🍠🫐
Focus on probiotic-rich foods 🧀
Ensure you’re getting enough magnesium, zinc, vitamin D and B12 💊
Only use antibiotics when necessary 😷
Manage stress 🧘🏾
Not to worry! I don’t expect you to know the the vitamins and minerals that make up the foods you eat! With that in mind I’m so excited to share that next week’s newsletter will feature a guest post and recipe from an incredibly inspiring woman! Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox 😉
Warm regards,
