As hormones shift during perimenopause and menopause, gut health becomes even more important for overall well-being and resilience.
How the gut supports hormonal balance during menopause:
✅ Microbiome diversity → influences estrogen metabolism
✅ Healthy digestion → promotes nutrient absorption for skin, bones, and brain health
✅ Gut-liver axis → supports detoxification of hormone metabolites
✅ Immune modulation → reduces inflammation linked to mood and metabolic shifts
✅ Gut-brain connection → affects mood, sleep, and cognition
Signs that your gut may be under stress during menopause:
✅ Bloating, indigestion, or constipation
✅ Skin flare-ups or sensitivity
✅ Mood swings and irritability
✅ Hormone-related symptoms worsening
✅ Sugar cravings or energy crashes
How to support gut health during hormonal transitions:
✅ Eat a high-fiber, plant-rich diet → supports microbiome and estrogen balance
✅ Include fermented foods or targeted probiotics
✅ Manage stress → influences gut motility and microbiota
✅ Support liver detox pathways with cruciferous vegetables
✅ Personalize care to reduce inflammation and support digestion
