Speaker 1 (00:00):
Once you realize that your gut health is really
closely linked to your hormonehealth or to your PMS, a whole
world of opportunities opens upto you, because that can be the
key to improving your PMS, andthat's what we're going to talk
about today.
If you've got daily bloating,if you experience PMS, tender
breasts, anything else, thenthis is going to be a good
(00:22):
episode.
I'm going to walk you through acase study of how I would start
out with a client who'sexperiencing just this.
Welcome to I'm Hormonal, yoursource of information about
women's hormone health and howto support your body.
Naturally, I'm your host,bridget Walton, and I'm a
certified functional hormonespecialist and menstrual cycle
coach.
I am on a mission to hold thesehormone conversations with as
(00:45):
many menstruators as possible,because you deserve easier
access to accurate informationabout what's up with your unruly
menstrual cycle and with yourfertility mysteries.
Don't you think it's time thatwe figure this out once and for
all?
Hey friend, welcome back to I'mHormonal.
I'm your host, bridget Walton,a women's hormone coach.
(01:09):
I'm so happy that you are hereand, like I said in the intro,
if you are dealing with bloatingevery day, doesn't matter what
you eat, doesn't matter whatyou're doing, doesn't matter
what part of your cycle you'rein.
This is going to be a good onefor you If that has also brought
on some PMS, in whatever form.
You are so lucky as to havethat in right, because PMS could
(01:32):
be tender breast, headaches,mood swings, irritability, could
be trouble sleeping, could bean array of other challenges too
.
So you're in the right place.
I want to walk you through howI would start to approach a
conversation with a client whois going through this same thing
, because, transparently right,this is exactly what I was going
(01:55):
through years ago.
This is why I started on thisjourney to become a women's
hormone coach.
To start, I'm hormonal and so,yeah, literally this is why I'm
here, because I'm like this shitwas lame to experience for all
of those months and years.
I don't want you to have to dothat.
So my hope for you is thattoday's conversation will give
(02:19):
you some good things to thinkabout, give you a couple of
actionable or practicaltakeaways that you can start to
experiment with in your dailylife and see what is going to be
moving the needle for you.
So let's start this off, andI'll give you a little bit more
context too.
This is what was present for meback in the day.
(02:42):
So we talked about the bloating.
When it came to my luteal phase,right that week or 10 days
before my period started, myboobs were so sore I'd be like
going down the stairs in myhouse and like have to hold my
boobs because it was too much.
I would have pretty regularcycles, like.
My period was relativelypredictable.
(03:05):
My periods were about four dayslong.
I did have some pretty legitcramping on day one, maybe even
day two.
It didn't prevent me fromliving my life.
But, you know, certainly afactor, a part of the equation
that helps when we're trying toput the picture together of
what's happening.
When I would have less regularcycles, it would be because I
(03:31):
was traveling during a time orafter a time of stress, so that
definitely happened.
And then I was one of theseadults with acne.
I literally did not know untila couple of years ago that
skincare lines existed for areason other than preventing
acne.
I literally thought the onlyreason for skincare products,
(03:54):
like I didn't get why peoplewith clear skin would use it
anyway.
That's the context, that's thebackground that we're going in
with.
So what is the first thing thatI would want to talk about with
.
If a client came to me with thissame situation and that would
be looking at or talking throughif using a GI map stool test,
(04:18):
to see what's going on in moredepth, in great depth, with the
gut health, that's where wewould start.
If bloating is all the time,then is there some sort of
imbalance in the gut microbiome?
The gut microbiome, your guthealth, is absolutely
foundational to the health ofyour hormones and basically
(04:41):
everything else in your body.
So if we want to make progresswell with your gut health, with
the blooding, we gotta knowexactly what is going on in
there.
So that's where I would startoff with a stool test like the
GI map, depending on what theperson's experience is.
What this client's experienceis maybe would add in an MRT
(05:05):
sensitivity test, a foodsensitivity test, to see if
there are any other triggersthere.
Sometimes, of course, you'llwant to remove sources of
inflammation as you're trying tosupport your gut health and
repair.
So that's where we would startfirst, zoning in on this GI map,
getting those results back sowe can put together a pointed
(05:27):
and efficient protocol that isgoing to help address
inflammation in the gut.
That is going to probably havea pretty good impact on what's
going on with your acne, andthen, of course, bloating too,
which is that day-to-dayexperience.
So from there we'd start theconversation about nutrition.
(05:49):
If you've listened to thispodcast before, you know that's
what I'm all about here.
Right?
Nutrition first approaches,because if you don't have
nutrition dialed in, then theother things that you do, like
you know supplements or you knowwhatever's the flavor of the
week castor oil pack, likethat's not going to have the
(06:10):
same impact, the same benefit,ability to move the needle on
your hormone balance and yourgut health.
So, specifically, I would wantto ask about caffeine and
alcohol intake.
Of course, lowering intake ofboth of these things would be
helpful.
Why is that?
That's because when you'reconsuming alcohol, when you're
(06:33):
consuming caffeine, that's goingto put a little bit more work
on your liver.
That's what your liver is therefor, in part right To filter
out these different things inyour system.
But if there seems to be abackup of estrogen and let me
take a step back If you'reexperiencing PMS, it could be
(06:55):
because you have relatively highlevels of estrogen.
That could be if you have ahard time eliminating those
estrogen metabolites.
So that's why you probablydon't want to be putting extra
work on your liver's plate,right?
That's why taking out caffeine,taking out alcohol, especially
(07:16):
in the second half of themenstrual cycle, I mean that's a
good staple to start off with.
One other thing to focus on, toadd in this time, though, would
be breakfast.
So, for me, at this time in mylife and did I mention this at
the start of the episode?
I was doing this whole timerestricted eating thing.
(07:37):
I was feeling pretty good doingit, but just basically every
day of the month, right, I wouldstart eating at like 10 am,
stop eating, you know, by 7 am,but my recommendation for
somebody who has theseexperiences with their hormones
and gut health would be toincorporate a breakfast, a
(07:59):
savory breakfast, in the secondhalf of the cycle.
The reason for that is becausethat could be supportive of your
hormone balance, right when itcomes to PMS, also when it comes
to, then, like you know, tenderboobs, that whole part of the
equation.
The other thing to think of hereis that, in the second half of
(08:22):
the menstrual cycle, after youovulate, when estrogen levels
are relatively lower for some ofus, you're going to be a little
bit less sensitive to insulin,meaning that your blood sugars
could be a little bit moreerratic.
When your blood sugars areerratic, you can incorporate a
savory breakfast in order tostart mitigating that, start
(08:45):
supporting more stable bloodsugar levels.
This is something that is alittle bit more niche and
nuanced.
There are a lot of.
Well, if I X or if I Y, then isthis the right option for me?
Glucose goddess super highquality, lovely resource for
more information on blood sugarstability, blood sugar
(09:08):
regulation, great book, theglucose goddess method.
Check it out and see if yourlocal library has it.
You can rent it and take thatfor a cruise this weekend
because you will learn a lot.
Your blood sugar stability willhave a big impact on your
hormone balance and also on yourPMS presentation.
(09:28):
Another thing and this is thethird and final component for
nutrition that I would recommendoff the bat is starting to
incorporate more cruciferousveggies and fiber, probably all
month broccoli, broccoli sprouts, cauliflower radishes, kale,
(09:55):
collard greens.
They have certain enzymes inthem that help to support your
liver function.
Also, fiber is going to begreat.
It can come from the samecruciferous veggies right, two
birds, one stone.
But fiber is really helpful, ofcourse, for regular bowel
movements and you are going towant to be having a bowel
(10:21):
movement every day regardless.
But if you have PMS and you'renot having bowel movements daily
, let's zone in on that andfigure out how we can get that
daily bowel movement patternoccurring, because that is how
your estrogen is eliminated, inpart through your stool, and if
you're not having daily bowelmovements, that can be another
thing that is getting estrogenand estrogen metabolites kind of
(10:44):
backed up in the system.
So, moving on, we talked abouttesting, then nutrition, I'm
going to talk about exercise andthen we'll wrap it up with
stress, because exercise movingyour body sweating I would
recommend to somebody in thissituation to check out the sauna
at their gym during the lutealphase.
(11:05):
I mentioned just a moment agothat estrogen is eliminated
through your stool.
Yes, also some through yoururine and through your sweat.
So maybe during your lutealphase your energy levels aren't
in a place where you want to gorun six miles, or maybe you
never want to run six miles.
Same like.
(11:26):
That's good too, and that'swhen checking out a sauna can
help you to support estrogendetox and hopefully move the
needle for you on your PMSexperience.
Friendly reminder too, thatwalking actually is exercise.
Like walking is exercise.
That can just be your workoutfor the day.
(11:47):
Don't forget about that.
Okay, moving on to the topic ofstress, if you have stress, that
will certainly impact what'sgoing on with your hormones.
So if I were starting off witha client who again has bloating
and PMS and some cramping, wewould start off by strategizing
(12:10):
a little bit about how tomitigate the stressors that life
presents.
Are you traveling a lot?
Can you travel less?
If you travel right, because Iknow a lot of you listening
travel quite a bit for work.
Well, can you pick flights thatleave a little bit later so
you're not waking up at 3 am?
Can you pick flights that leavea little bit earlier so you're
(12:32):
not getting home at midnight?
Getting sleep that or I shouldsay not getting enough sleep
that in and of itself can be aform of stress, for sure.
On the topic of stress,something else that I love to
strategize with my clients areroutines.
Right, I don't know if you'relike me or if you're like a lot
(12:55):
of my clients, but having sometype of routine, whether it's
your morning routine, yourevening routine, whether it's
like a little routine that youhave around mealtime, something
to help you kind of feelgrounded, feel calm, feel like
okay, I'm not just being castinto chaos despite all of the
(13:16):
things that are going on in mybusy life.
Whatever that routine lookslike for you, I want you to know
what it is, I want you tocommit to it, I want you to feel
so good every time you gothrough your routine, because
that is an underrated if you askme way to keep stress levels
down.
Setting good boundaries, that'salso a pretty solid way to keep
(13:40):
your stress levels down.
But as it relates to, like,things that you can control,
sometimes we can't control ourschedule, sometimes we can't
control what our mother-in-lawthinks about you know something,
but sometimes creating aroutine that works for you like
that is something I'm optimisticwill have a positive impact on
(14:03):
your stress and I actually, ifyou you listen to this, you make
some changes to your stress andyou are feeling good.
If you listen to this, you makesome changes to your routine
and it's really supporting andhelping you to feel good.
I would love to hear what isthe easy change that you made
and how that, like how thathelped you.
What did that free up for you?
(14:24):
What did that allow you to do?
Final honorable mention forstress right, we kind of covered
the like mental, emotional side.
But another form of stress canbe from like chemicals that we
put on our skin, that we breathethrough the air, and so just
doing a little audit of what arethe fragrances that are around
(14:48):
me, what are the things that I'mputting on my skin and do those
products have any type ofchemicals in them that could be
impacting my hormone health?
Think about what am I eating offof?
How often am I interacting withplastics?
Or especially eating off ofplastics or eating off of hot
plastics?
Please, if you are multitaskinglike, come back to me, come
(15:12):
back to me.
Please stop eating off ofplastics and especially off of
hot plastics and especiallystyrofoam.
That's a good recipe forchemicals from those plastics to
be just leaching into your foodand then into your bod and that
can certainly impact yourhormone balance, impact your
(15:34):
experience in the last, you know, seven to 10 days of your cycle
.
I hope that this was helpfulfor you to hear me walk through
what would be top of mind if Ihad somebody come to me with
these experiences of bloatingand PMS, and I hope you
implement some of these thingsif that is you and that you
(15:56):
realize, you know, before yournext period shows up like you
can be feeling better.
You can see the results of someof these changes that you're
making.
You've got this.
I believe in you.
If you have any questions, ifyou want me to talk through any
hypothetical clients like this,that I would walk through what's
(16:18):
top of mind and send me a DM,you can connect with me on

that is something I'm optimisticwill have a positive impact on
(14:03):
your stress and I actually, ifyou you listen to this, you make
some changes to your stress andyou are feeling good.
If you listen to this, you makesome changes to your routine
and it's really supporting andhelping you to feel good.
I would love to hear what isthe easy change that you made
and how that, like how thathelped you.
What did that free up for you?
(14:24):
What did that allow you to do?
Final honorable mention forstress right, we kind of covered
the like mental, emotional side.
But another form of stress canbe from like chemicals that we
put on our skin, that we breathethrough the air, and so just
doing a little audit of what arethe fragrances that are around
(14:48):
me, what are the things that I'mputting on my skin and do those
products have any type ofchemicals in them that could be
impacting my hormone health?
Think about what am I eating offof?
How often am I interacting withplastics?
Or especially eating off ofplastics or eating off of hot
plastics?
Please, if you are multitaskinglike, come back to me, come
(15:12):
back to me.
Please stop eating off ofplastics and especially off of
hot plastics and especiallystyrofoam.
That's a good recipe forchemicals from those plastics to
be just leaching into your foodand then into your bod and that
can certainly impact yourhormone balance, impact your
(15:34):
experience in the last, you know, seven to 10 days of your cycle
.
I hope that this was helpfulfor you to hear me walk through
what would be top of mind if Ihad somebody come to me with
these experiences of bloatingand PMS, and I hope you
implement some of these thingsif that is you and that you
(15:56):
realize, you know, before yournext period shows up like you
can be feeling better.
You can see the results of someof these changes that you're
making.
You've got this.
I believe in you.
