Dr. Kellyann Petrucci explains how dietary fiber works with your gut microbiome to regulate estrogen levels, preventing the hormone imbalances linked to endometriosis and PCOS as you age.
When you're eating fiber, you release hormones very differently. So a lot of people say as you get older, you've got this estrogen dominance that naturally occurs as progesterone starts to dip. So one of the ways that you can release this and stabilize your hormones, which is incredibly valuable, you're doing it naturally. Eat fiber, because the fiber combines with your gut microbes, your microbiome, those little guys swimming around, because we're bags of bugs. It combines with those enzymes in your gut, and it helps release those estrogens so they don't build up in your body. And the buildup of those estrogens are what causes a lot of what we ail from, like endometriosis, pcos, and all the things that are bothersome as we get older and we start to mature.
