As with so many areas of our health, we've been led to believe our hormones are working in isolation from the rest of our body. They’re disconnected, and somehow hormonal imbalances magically appear.
We may be experiencing gut symptoms, but can’t imagine it could possibly have anything to do with our hormonal issues.
In reality, our bodies are extremely interconnected systems. Our gut impacts our hormones and our hormones impact our gut.
So instead of looking at hormonal symptoms like PMS, menstrual cramps, or hormonal acne in isolation, let’s look at the gut-hormone connection and what’s at the root of your hormonal symptoms.
Today we talk about:
• What is the gut-hormone connection?
• How hormones can impact gut function
• How the gut can affect hormones
• The main factors that can cause an imbalance in the gut-hormone connection
• How to begin the journey back to balancing your gut and hormones

I have spoken a lot about what and how to eat on this podcast, but I haven’t spoken about when.
The thing is, you could eat the perfect diet, meditate every day, be taking the right supplements for what’s going on in your gut, but if you’re not eating at the right time — this could be holding you back from making progress!
In this episode, I discuss how eating too often and too infrequently can impact your gut health, and help you figure out the best way for you to approach meal timing and spacing that’s right for YOU!
We talk all about:
• Why it’s important to allow spaces between meals and snacks for your gut health
• What the Migrating Motor Complex is and why it matters
• How to know whether meal spacing and intermittent fasting is right for you

Here’s what I cover:
