Why Gut Health Matters When It Comes to Supporting Hormones & Fertility

I’ve been fascinated by gut health for a few years now. And, while still a relatively new field of research, the current findings on how the microorganisms found in our gut, also known as gut microbiota, can influence and affect our immune system, metabolism, digestion, mood, and even possibly our heart, just amazes me!

But, what I didn’t know until recently was just how important our gut health was when it came to supporting our hormones and fertility!
