The Digestion + Hormone Connection

“My doc told me I have adrenal fatigue, I was put on this herbal formula to help with my cortisol response but dang I am just not getting better.” “I was told i’m hypothyroid and to take some supplements targeted towards thyroid health and to avoid dairy and sugar. But it’s been a year and I still don’t feel better.” “I have all the symptoms of estrogen dominance so I started some supplements but I haven’t seen any changes.” Why is this? Because girlfriend. YOU NEVER ADDRESSED THE ROOT CAUSE. We are all so quick to jump right into our diagnosis or symptoms without ever addressing the real root causes: your digestive system and metabolism. “But Laura, I’m taking a probiotic, I poop everyday and I eat “clean” so I know my digestion is great. It’s got to be my hormones that are making me feel awful.” 🙄 OKAY sister, listen up a probiotic and your quote on quote clean diet WILL not heal your digestive system. Mark my words. We need to take into consideration all the shit we have been exposed to that have and are continuously destroying our guts, it can go all the way back to the day you were born, hell the day you were conceived that determines your digestive and overall health later in life Most of us are full of them – pathogens, fungus, opportunistic bacteria, autoimmune triggers… We got them and they are wreaking havoc on our beautiful bodies. If you have tried everything and are still struggling with “mystery” symptoms it’s time to address your gut. The next time your doc or Google MD tells you that have any of these hormonal issues, ask questions and please get yo’ gut in check!
