“Microbiome” has been quite the buzzword over the last few years. It’s basically the collection of microorganisms within your body, which can impact many aspects of your health. These include mood, metabolization, immunity and more.
Recent research has emerged identifying specific microbes in the digestive tract that are responsible for hormone regulation—specifically estrogen. This is known as the estrobolome, which influences estrogen metabolization. Furthermore, it can result in a hormonal imbalance, leading to estrogen-influenced conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, menorrhagia, and even PCOS.
Estrogen is one of the most important hormones produced by the ovaries. It’s responsible for female sexual characteristics and is built from the developing follicle in the beginning part of your cycle. This hormone helps to build the lining of the uterus to prepare for ovulation and a possible pregnancy each month.
