š Most people think of the gut as just a digestion machineā¦ but itās also a hormone factory.
Your gut helps:
ā¢ Produce serotonin (your āfeel-goodā neurotransmitter ā about 90% of it lives in your gut)
ā¢ Activate and metabolize estrogen so your body can use it ā and clear it when itās no longer needed
ā¢ Support thyroid function by converting T4 to active T3
ā¢ Regulate cortisol through its connection with your nervous system
āļø When your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, hormone production and detox can slow down ā leading to symptoms like mood swings, low energy, irregular cycles, and more.
š„ Feed your gut with fiber, diverse plants, probiotics, and stress managementā¦ and youāll be feeding your hormones too.
