They are your body’s way of letting you know something is awry with your digestion and gut health – and they mustn’t be ignored. Pesky gut symptoms aside, the health of your gut and your ability to digest your food is CRUCIAL for your overall health and wellbeing including immunity, hormone balance, metabolism, brain health and disease prevention.

If you’re experiencing symptoms and challenges related to hormone changes of perimenopause or hormonal imbalances generally, a more comprehensive approach to hormone testing might just be the thing to help you find a clear way forward.
Efficient clearance of used oestrogen is CRUCIAL for your hormone health and for managing symptoms such as heavy and or painful periods, clotting, breast pain, headaches, mood swings, fibroids, cysts and even oestrogen-driven cancers. Let’s explore your gut’s role in oestrogen clearance and how to support it.
Efficient clearance of used oestrogen is ESSENTIAL for hormone health because it prevents a build up of oestrogen in your system, which can increase PMS symptoms such as heavy and or painful periods, clotting, breast pain, headaches, mood swings as well as increase risk of fibroids, cysts and oestrogen-driven cancers. Let’s explore how your liver breaks down used oestrogen and how to support it.
Being oestrogen dominant doesn’t necessarily mean having elevated levels of oestrogen in your body.
However, if you’re always oestrogen dominant, it can be just as bad as having high levels of oestrogen and become a risk factor for growth of fibroids, cysts and oestrogen driven cancers.
In perimenopause your hormones are behaving differently. In this blog post, I’m going to explain specifically what’s happening with oestrogen; what it’s doing in your 40s, the issues it brings and how you can support it.
In perimenopause, oestrogen can rise to levels 2 or 3 times higher than EVER before. Add to this declining progesterone levels, resulting in oestrogen ‘dominant’ cycles, and you’ve got heavier flow. There are other contributing factors for heavy periods as well, which I’ll explain in this blog.
In perimenopause, your cycles are still regular (at least at first) and you are still fertile – albeit not as fertile as in your 20s and 30s – however, the communication between your brain and ovaries is starting to change (somewhat break down), resulting in changes to your cycles and periods such as longer or shorter cycles, irregular cycles, shorter or longer periods and heavier and/or painful periods.
Insulin resistance is an important concept to understand always, but even more so in your 40s as your body becomes more prone to it. Insulin resistance equals less energy, more inflammation and a tendency to gain fat especially around the middle.
