DIGESTION: The missing piece to your hormone healing journey

The number one biggest thing I hear women say when they are struggling with their health is “it’s just hormonal.”

I hate to break it to ya but it’s never JUST hormonal and taking some random hormone balancing supplement, getting unnecessary surgeries, hormone replacement therapy, birth control or fancy cream/powder is not going to get to the root of your issues.

You see. Your digestion and hormones have a very intimate connection. I am not just talking sex hormones but every hormone in your body especially your thyroid and stress hormones will also be severely impacted by poor digestion.

And here’s the deal we ALL have wrecked digestive systems.

Due to most of us growing up never learning how or what to eat and consuming an abundance of processed packaged garbage, poor quality fats, antibiotics or medications, being overloaded in estrogen and iron laden foods, and toxins. Add in all the stress, trauma, under-eating and diets we have endured throughout our lives from childhood to adulthood.

And then switching to a “healthier” lifestyle filled with plant-based man-made foods, raw salads and vegetables, loads of nuts and seeds and PUFAs we are now seeing our digestive systems in even worse places.

We have never gotten the nutrients, minerals, quality fat, carbs and protein we need to thrive.

When it comes to hormone health its all about energy and bringing down as much stress as possible in your system. Where do we get that from? The minerals and nutrients from the food we consume and a well functioning digestive system that is not under stress and has the ability to absorb nutrients and deliver.

We need to be addressing the body as a whole. You may not think you have digestive issues but they are likely expressing as what you would say is “just hormonal.”
