Picture of Dr. Heather Finley with text Ep. 70: Can’t “Fix” Your Hormones? This Might Be Why (Hint: It’s Your Gut)

:

 

You’re eating clean, avoiding gluten, and loading up on salads… but your period is still painful, your mood’s all over the place, and you’re feeling stuck — literally and hormonally. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the fiber-hormone connection that no one’s talking about: how constipation impacts estrogen clearance, what your gut has to do with PMS and painful periods, and why clean eating isn’t always hormone-friendly.

We’re getting into:

  • Why you can’t skip fiber and expect smooth cycles
  • How the liver + gut tag-team to clear out estrogen
  • The role of beta-glucuronidase (and what your stool test might be saying)
  • The real reason your paleo or gluten-free diet might be making things worse
  • What the estrobolome is — and why it matters for every woman

Mentioned in this episode:

 Bio.me Chocolate Fiber – My go-to morning fiber that supports motility, estrogen clearance, and tastes like mocha dessert in my coffee

 Episode with Dr. Jolene Brighten: – A must-listen if you want to dive deeper into the gut-hormone connection.
