How Your Gut Impacts Your Hormones
Mascari, Brooke - July 12th, 2025
You may have heard that "all disease begins in the gut." That includes hormonal imbalances, mood swings, PMS, low energy, sleep issues, and even anxiety.
But why does the gut matter so much?
Let’s break it down.
🧠 1. Your Gut Talks to Your Hormones
Your gut and your endocrine (hormone) system are deeply connected. The gut:
Produces neurotransmitters like serotonin (the feel-good hormone)
Helps convert and regulate hormones like thyroid hormones
Supports the breakdown and elimination of estrogen
If your gut is sluggish, inflamed, or out of balance (common from stress, poor sleep, processed food, etc.), your hormones suffer.
💩 2. Gut Imbalances = Estrogen Overload
Estrogen is metabolized in your liver and eliminated via your bowels.
If you’re constipated or not digesting well, estrogen can recirculate in your body, leading to:
PMS and painful periods
Breast tenderness
Mood swings and bloating
Higher risk of fibroids or estrogen dominance
🌿 3. Your Gut Houses the “Estrobolome”
This is a fancy name for the group of gut bacteria that helps break down estrogen properly.
To support it:
Eat fiber-rich foods: flaxseed, chia, cooked veggies, lentils
Take Triphala or Women’s Support from Banyan Botanicals

Avoid artificial ingredients, seed oils, and excess sugar
🔥 4. Heal Your Gut, Soothe Your Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the gut leads to:
Blood sugar imbalance
Adrenal burnout
Thyroid issues
Poor nutrient absorption (like iron, B vitamins, magnesium—all essential for hormones)
That’s why my Hormone Harmony program starts with gut healing as the foundation.
👑 5. Empowered Gut = Empowered Hormones
When your gut is healthy, your hormones can flow. You’ll feel:
More energized
More emotionally stable
Less inflamed
Better rested
Less burdened by period pain, PCOS, or burnout
