Send us a text

Is your gut trying to tell you something? 😬 In this episode of Sweet Insights, we’re diving deep into the gut-hormone connection—and how your digestion plays a major role in how you feel day to day.

From bloating, cravings, and brain fog to mood swings, weight gain, and estrogen dominance—your gut health may be at the root of it all. Alison shares personal stories (including dealing with parasites and H. pylori) and how she's rebuilding her gut using probiotics, L-glutamine, collagen, and mindful eating. Amy adds some relatable real-life insights on simple ways to make veggies easier and more fun.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How gut health impacts estrogen, serotonin, and cortisol
• Signs your gut might be out of balance (beyond just bloating)
• Foods, habits, and supplements to restore gut health
• Why detox pathways and hormone detoxification matter
• Alison’s honest experience with gut infections, antibiotic recovery, and what’s working now

👯‍♀️ Plus, as always—we keep it real, we keep it relatable, and we give you actionable tips to support your body in this hormone-shifting stage of life.
