What if the missing piece in your PCOS or hormone healing journey isn't your ovaries—it's your gut? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Anya Szigeti, chiropractic internist and functional medicine expert, to explore how gut health influences everything from hormone balance and inflammation to thyroid function, fertility, and PCOS symptoms. Dr. Anya shares her personal transformation from chronically ill patient to practitioner, and why conventional medicine failed to connect the dots. Together, they discuss leaky gut, estrogen detox, antibiotics, birth control, and even how your birth and breastfeeding history could shape your immune resilience. Whether you're struggling with fatigue, irregular cycles, or just want to understand your body better, this episode will open your eyes to the gut-hormone connection and help you take your healing to the next level—with compassion, clarity, and a dose of humor.
