{14.4} Is Your Gut the Missing Link to Feeling Like Yourself Again?
Listen on:
This week on Raising Healthy Mothers, we’re going deeper than probiotics and fibre. I’m talking about how your gut health affects everything, from your immune system to your hormones, your mood, your energy, even your skin.
This episode is adapted from the intro lesson to my Spring Gut Reset, and it’s a brilliant place to start if you’re wondering why gut health matters so much, especially in the thick of motherhood.
If you’ve been feeling exhausted, foggy, snappy, or your skin’s been itchy or dull (but you’d never have guessed it was your gut), this one’s for you.
Here’s what I talk about in this episode:
A gut health 101 – what exactly is your microbiota?
How your gut and hormones (especially oestrogen) are closely connected – and why this matters as we head into our 30s and 40s
The gut–brain link and how it can affect your mood and mental clarity
Why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut – and how this shapes your long-term health
A side note on skin – because it’s often the first sign something’s out of whack internally
Five key questions to ask yourself about your gut health
And a bit more about my Spring Gut Reset, which starts on 2nd June 2025
If you’ve ever felt like your body’s out of balance – even without obvious gut symptoms – this episode will help you connect the dots.
