The Gut–Hormone Connection in Perimenopause
Has your gut suddenly become more sensitive in your 40s?�
More bloating, constipation, random “IBS” days, right alongside mood swings, fatigue, heavy periods, and PMS?
It’s not a coincidence.�
Your gut and hormones are in constant conversation, and during perimenopause, that connection becomes even more important.
As oestrogen fluctuates, your gut microbiome shifts too.�
👉 Friendly bacteria decline�
👉 Gut lining becomes weaker�
👉 Inflammation rises�
👉 And your ability to clear old oestrogens slows down (this is so important for hormonal health)
This can lead to bloating, breast tenderness, heavier periods, mood swings, brain fog, and more, even if you eat well.
🎙In my latest podcast episode, I’m breaking down:�
✔️The estrobolome (your oestrogen-metabolising gut bacteria)�
✔️How candida + dysbiosis drive inflammation�
✔️Why constipation = poor hormone clearance�
✔️The key daily habits that rebalance your gut and hormones
If you’re feeling hormonally off balance and your gut’s not happy, this one’s for you.
