How Declining Hormones Disrupt the Gut Microbiome

Declining hormones can have a powerful—and often overlooked—impact on gut health. In this clip, Stacey Roberts explains how changes in hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone alter the gut microbiome, influence inflammation, and affect digestion, immunity, and overall metabolic health.

We explore why hormonal shifts during perimenopause, menopause and andropause can lead to bloating, food sensitivities, weight changes, and chronic inflammation, and why supporting the gut becomes essential as hormones decline. This conversation highlights the critical connection between hormone balance and gut health, and why treating one without the other often falls short.
