113: How to Use Fiber to Balance Hormones

Have you ever wondered about the gut hormone connection and how fiber plays a starring role? In this episode, we’re discussing fiber’s role in gut and hormone health.

Fiber is key for supporting the gut, promoting healthy hormone function, and offloading toxins and excess hormones. Most sources say that women need 25-30 g of fiber daily, and women with hormone issues could probably use more. Some hormone related conditions impacted by low fiber include:

• Estrogen dominance
• Breast cancer
• Weight management issues
• PCOS 
• Bloating
• Mood swings
• Unexplained headaches
• Irregular cycles 
• Fibroids
