Your gut isn’t just about food breakdown, it’s a central hub that communicates with your hormones, brain, and even your skin. And yes, research backs this up:
Hormones: The gut microbiome helps regulate estrogen metabolism through the estrobolome, a group of bacteria that process and eliminate excess estrogen. When this is disrupted, symptoms like PMS, bloating, and irregular cycles can appear.
Mood: Roughly 90% of your serotonin is produced in the gut. Studies show an unhealthy gut can affect neurotransmitter production, which explains why poor digestion often pairs with low mood or anxiety.
Skin: Inflammation in the gut can increase systemic inflammatory markers, which are linked to skin conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea. Poor nutrient absorption (think zinc, B vitamins, omega-3s) also slows skin repair and glow.
Your gut really is the “control center” for whole-body balance and when you look after it, your hormones, mood, and skin all benefit.
