In Part 2 of our hormone series, we take a closer look at the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, and hormone balance—especially for women over 40. Your digestive system does much more than process food. It plays a major role in regulating hormones, supporting your immune system, absorbing nutrients, and even influencing your mood and energy levels. In this episode, we discuss:• How chronic inflammation can affect your hormones• The connection between gut health and estrogen balance• Foods that help reduce inflammation• Foods that may contribute to inflammation for some people• The importance of fiber, fermented foods, and hydration• Why stress and poor sleep can damage gut health• Simple lifestyle changes that can help support a healthier gut You don't need a perfect diet or expensive supplements to begin improving your gut health. Small, consistent changes can have a meaningful impact on how you feel every day. If you haven't listened to Part 1, be sure to go back and hear our discussion on estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, insulin, and how food affects your hormones.
