Your Estrobolome - Meet the Gut Bacteria Running Your Hormones (and Your Mood)
I couldn’t help but wonder…
Could my mood swings, muffin top, and mysterious crying spells actually be coming from my gut?
As it turns out: yes.
And the secret might just be something called your estrobolome—which sounds like a fancy perfume but is actually a group of gut bacteria with a thing for estrogen.
Let’s break it down.
💋 So... What Is the Estrobolome?
Your estrobolome is the community of gut bacteria that metabolizes and regulates estrogen in your body. It’s like the glam squad managing your hormone wardrobe—deciding which estrogens stay, which get excreted, and how balanced the whole vibe feels.
When your estrobolome is healthy? Estrogen flows like a dream.
When it’s not? You might be stuck in a hormonal horror show that even your oat milk latte can’t fix.
👠 Why It Matters (Especially Now)
As we head into the land of perimenopause and beyond, estrogen levels don’t just drop—they yo-yo. Some days you feel like Beyoncé. Other days? Eeyore.
But it’s not just about how much estrogen you have.
It’s about what your body does with it.
And that’s where your gut steps in.
Gut Health = Hormone Health
Your estrobolome produces an enzyme called β-glucuronidase (I know, not cute), which decides whether estrogen gets excreted or recycled.
Too much of the wrong bacteria? That enzyme goes rogue. Estrogen that should be leaving the party gets reabsorbed—leading to estrogen dominance, which can show up as:
-
Belly fat that won’t budge
-
Mood swings that could win Oscars
-
Sore boobs, bloating, brain fog, and beyond
A healthy estrobolome? It keeps the estrogen train on track—supporting your cycle, your sleep, and your sanity.
So How Do We Keep the Estrobolome Happy?
Cue: Tribiotics.
That’s prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics—the holy trinity for gut balance, and the reason I (GG) exist.
✨ Prebiotics feed your good bugs.
✨ Probiotics repopulate your gut with the right bacteria.
✨ Postbiotics (hello, bioactive magic) help regulate metabolism and inflammation—which directly affect estrogen levels and symptoms.
Together, they help your estrobolome:
-
Process and eliminate excess estrogen properly
-
Reduce inflammation in the gut (which throws hormones off balance)
-
Support mood, metabolism, and even skin clarity
(A hormone-happy gut is the secret to that glow-from-within look, darling.)
TL;DR??: What GG Wants You to Know
-
Your gut has a whole hormonal squad called the estrobolome
-
It controls how your body uses and clears estrogen
-
When it’s out of balance, you feel it—physically and emotionally
-
Tribiotics (like the ones in GG-360™) can help restore balance and give your estrobolome the love it deserves
So next time someone tells you it’s “just your hormones,” tell them:
It’s my estrobolome. And I’m handling it.
With guts, glam, and a gummy a day.
