Dr Brooke Show #321 Interplay Between Gut Health & Your Hormones

<p dir="ltr">You’ve likely heard a lot about gut health and how it is a key foundation to your health and it’s absolutely true that gut health directly impacts hormone health. In this episode I get into the exact interplays between estrogen and your gut, how the microbiome as a whole impacts estrogen and a subset of bacteria known as the estrobolome have an even bigger impact on your estrogen levels. I discuss knowing tested values like beta-glucuronidase which needs to be just right, not too high and not too low, in order for you to have healthy estrogen levels.  As well I dive into how the gut and both thyroid hormones and cortisol interact. And because so many of us are dealing with diagnosed autoimmunity or have a positive family history of autoimmune diseases, I cover specific infections that are seen on functional stool testing that can be potential triggers for various autoimmune issues.</p> <p dir="ltr">If you have any questions about stool testing or working on your gut health and hormones please reach out to me at <a href= "mailto:drbrooke@betterbydrbrooke.com">drbrooke@betterbydrbrooke.com</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">To work with Dr Brooke click <a href= "mailto:drbrooke@betterbydrbrooke.com">here</a> and if you loved this episode please leave a review!  </p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dr Brooke on <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/betterbydrbrooke">Instagram</a> and get signed up for my awesome emails <a href= "https://betterbydrbrooke.com/join-us/">here</a>.
