Pooing for your hormones

Pooing for your hormones!

If you really think about it, one of the best indicators of how happy and healthy you feel probably depends on the quality and frequency of bowel movements.

Passing stool every day is essential for female hormones. Why? If your bowels aren't moving, your estrogen sticks around longer than it should and goes back into circulation in the body. You have to poop every day to get your estrogen out. Chronic consipation can lead to hormone imbalance since the hormone that's getting recycled into the body is more toxic than its original form.

This can lead to estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance can mean that there are elevated estrogen levels in the blood. But on the other hand, estrogen levels may be normal and other hormones are below normal ranges; resulting in a dominance of estrogen in the body
