Estrogen problems can look like a hormone issue, but the real trigger can be hiding in your gut. We sit down with Stephen from Healthy Gut to unpack how the microbiome influences hormone clearance, why constipation and slow motility can change estrogen recirculation, and what the estrobilome and beta-glucuronidase have to do with feeling “estrogen dominant” even when labs are confusing. If you’ve ever felt like your body is stuck in a loop, this conversation gives you a clearer map of what might be happening upstream.

We also get practical about gut healing through a functional medicine lens: building the right “terrain” instead of chasing a single miracle probiotic. We talk about stomach acid support (HCL), why digestion is where inflammation can start, and how digestive enzymes can improve nutrient breakdown, bloating, and that frustrating “I eat healthy but still feel awful” experience. Stephen explains why symptoms often shift before labs and why tracking your personal patterns matters as much as any one test.

Finally, we dig into butyrate, oxygen balance in the gut, leaky gut and food sensitivities, and the idea of immune rehab after a parasite cleanse or other aggressive protocol. We cover paraprobiotics, beta glucans, and why “repair” is not optional if you want results that actually stick.
