Gut Health Imbalances
Gut health imbalances can occur when there is an imbalance of good and bad bacteria starting in the mouth and leading to the gut microbiome. This can affect the ability to digest food and absorb nutrients properly. Transforming Yourself PLLC is a highly trained Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine provider to help with hormone imbalances.

Good digestion (without acid reflux, bloating, pain)

Women using hormone replacement therapy yet still note having a regular bowel movement could be recycling those hormones throughout the body because there isn’t an opportunity for them to be eliminated after the body has used them appropriately.
This can cause elevated hormone levels and yet another another reason why gut health is SO important.

You may be asking yourself how is my gut impacting my mood or headaches? This happens because the gut and the brain are in constant communication with one another. There are several neurotransmitters that are made in the gut and not the brain.
A healthy gut will lead to healthy neurotransmitters. There is an average of 90% of our serotonin (happy hormone) and 50% of dopamine (pleasure hormone) that is made by certain microbes in the gut, when the gut is healthy.
Did you know that 70% of our immune system is in the gut? If there is an imbalance between the good and the bad bacteria (microbiome) in the gut, it can lead to intestinal permeability (leaky gut).
"Leaky gut" is when the intestines allow toxins, bacteria, and partially digested food to leak into the bloodstream causing massive inflammation in the body.
