#190 - Are your hormones giving you IBS?
from Empowered Hormones with Sheradyn Dekker · host Sheradyn Dekker
Ever wondered why your digestion is fine one week and a total wreck the next? If your "IBS" flares around ovulation or PMS even when you’re eating the same foods, it’s not random, it’s physiological. Today, we’re unpacking the powerful connection between your hormones and your gut. In this episode, we dive into: The Estrogen Connection: How high estrogen triggers gut sensitivity, histamine reactions, and sluggish bile flow. Progesterone & Slow Motility: Why the luteal phase leads to constipation, bloating, and heaviness. The Cortisol Factor: How stress halts digestion and prevents you from absorbing key nutrients. Cycle-Aware Support: Practical shifts in eating and movement to support your gut at every phase, from ovulation to perimenopause. Stop blaming your diet and start understanding your cycle. Your gut isn't broken, it’s just responding to your hormones. P.S If you are tired of the guessing game and want solutions, lets jump on Zoom for a quick call and brainstorm how to get to the root cause of your IBS. Book here.
