Is it Your Hormones, Your Gut, or Both?

In this mini-workshop, we dive deep into the connections between hormones, gut health, and metabolism. There’s a lot of information out there when it comes to hormones and gut health, but with a lack of deeper understanding as to what it means to really support these areas.

Women will come to us confused as to what is actually causing their symptoms like low energy, brain fog, cravings, weight gain. On top of that, they might have more obvious gut symptoms like constipation, gas and bloating. Or, they might deal with PMS, heavy periods, endometriosis, thyroid issues, or PCOS. In this workshop we unpack where these are actually coming from and help you better understand: is it your hormones, your gut, or both? From there, we cover strategies so you know exactly where to start.

Here are some of the key takeaways from this workshop.

Health Indicators of a Well Nourished Woman

• Basal body temperature, consistent energy levels, healthy digestion, balanced hormones, and maintaining a body composition without dieting
• These indicators are more useful than the scale and are important for overall health

Understanding the Menstrual Cycle

• Understanding the four phases of menstrual cycle helps in making informed nutritional and movement decisions.
• Basal body temperature can be tracked to determine the phase of the cycle and make adjustments.
• Increasing calorie and carbohydrate intake at the right time can improve hormonal symptoms and nourish the gut.
• Targeted supplements based on individual needs are more effective than general supplements.

The Foundations of Female Health

• People often say they have tried everything and nothing works, but they may have skipped the foundational aspects of their health.
• The foundations address a person’s physiology and ensure that their body functions properly.
• Many people try different diets, supplements, medications, herbs, and cutting out certain foods without understanding the foundational pieces of health.

Stress and Hormonal Imbalances

• High cortisol levels can cause digestive issues, insulin resistance, slow digestion, sluggish thyroid and lower sex hormones production.
• Lifestyle changes and nutrition can help lower stress in the body and improve stress resilience.
• Hormone imbalance symptoms may not be obvious or easily understood.

12-Week Well Nourished Program

• The Well Nourished program is a twelve-week program that can help with these issues and has five spots available for live coaching calls.
• Hormones and gut health are related to a lot of symptoms.
• The right approach can help alleviate these symptoms.
• Commonly taught practices around diet and exercise may counteract with hormonal and gut health.

Hormonal Balance and Blood Sugar

• Controlling blood sugar is crucial for hormone balance.
• Blood sugar balance is important for regulating hormones.
• Neglecting blood sugar balance can affect other hormones, like cortisol and thyroid hormones.
