Have you ever wondered whether your bloating, constipation, or IBS-like symptoms might actually be linked to your hormones, not just your gut?

In this episode, Francesca dives deep into the powerful connection between your gut health and hormones during perimenopause.

You’ll learn how changes in oestrogen impact your gut microbiome, what the estrobolome is (and why it’s essential for oestrogen clearance), and how issues like candida, dysbiosis, and leaky gut can drive inflammation and hormone imbalance.

Francesca also explains why symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, headaches, and stubborn belly fat can have their roots in the gut, and what you can start doing right now to support a healthier gut–hormone balance.

Tune in to understand:

• Why gut symptoms often overlap with perimenopause symptoms
• How your estrobolome helps clear old oestrogens
• The role of gut-driven inflammation in hormone imbalance
• Simple nutrition and lifestyle steps to restore your gut and feel more balanced

If you’ve been feeling bloated, foggy, or hormonally out of sync, this episode will help you connect the dots between your gut and your hormones, and show you how to support both naturally.
