In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour, I’m connecting the dots between gut health, the immune system, and hormonal imbalances that so many women are dealing with things like Hashimoto’s, eczema, acne, endometriosis, fertility struggles, anxiety, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, and even recurrent miscarriage connected to low progesterone.

I also talk about why so many women stay stuck even after trying restrictive gut protocols and supplements. Because a lot of gut healing starts with foundations that are often missed, especially low stomach acid. When stomach acid is low, it impacts mineral absorption, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol production, hormone health, skin health, and even the integrity of the gut lining itself. We also talk about nervous system safety, stress, eating habits, and the spiritual side of stewardship and healing.

In this episode, I cover:
