8. The Gut-Hormone Connection: What Every Woman Should Know About Gut Health

In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour with Dr. Heather Rhodes, I’m getting real about something that’s been a lot lately—moving. The emotional rollercoaster, the logistics, the stress... it all adds up, and yes, it 100% impacts your hormones.

I’m sharing what this recent move has taught me—personally and hormonally—and how our bodies are way more connected than we think.

We’re diving into:
📦 How stress (like moving!) affects your gut and hormone balance
💩 Why things like constipation and leaky gut matter way more than you realize
🌿 The gut-hormone connection and how it impacts everything from progesterone levels to metabolism
⚡ Real, practical steps to support your gut and boost your hormone health without getting overwhelmed
🧠 Why chasing symptoms doesn’t work—and how to look deeper for real, lasting healing

Whether you're in a season of transition or just trying to understand your body better, this episode is packed with encouragement, education, and easy-to-apply tips to help you feel more in sync.
