Registered Nutritionist & Naturopath Nadine Bowen-Price explains how hormonal imbalance is rooted in the gut — and how to restore energy, mood and cycle health through her Happy Gut Online Masterclass.

If you’re struggling with PMS, bloating, acne flare-ups, stubborn weight gain, mood swings, or fatigue — you’re not alone. And despite what you’ve been told, it’s not just your hormones. The real root cause often begins deeper — in your gut.

As a nutritionist and naturopath, I see the same pattern again and again: Women try to balance hormones with supplements, cut out foods, or push through exhaustion… yet nothing truly works until their gut health is restored.

That’s because your gut and hormones are in constant conversation. When your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, your entire hormonal system becomes disrupted.

So let’s explore how healing your gut can naturally rebalance your hormones — and how you can start transforming your energy, skin, mood and cycle health today.

Why Your Gut Controls Your Hormones

Your gut isn’t just a digestive organ — it’s a hormonal powerhouse.

Here’s how your gut affects your hormonal balance:

1. Your gut regulates oestrogen levels

A part of your microbiome called the estrobolome is responsible for metabolising oestrogen. When this bacterial community is imbalanced (due to stress, antibiotics, sugar, or inflammation), your body may recycle oestrogen instead of clearing it, leading to:

• PMS

• Breast tenderness

• Mood swings

• Bloating

• Heavy or painful periods

• Hormonal acne

  
  

2. Your gut makes your “happy hormones”

Up to 90% of serotonin (your mood-stabilising hormone) is produced in the gut.If your microbiome is inflamed or out of balance, serotonin production drops, affecting:

• Mood

• Sleep

• Appetite

• Stress resilience

  
  

3. Your gut influences your stress hormones

Chronic bloating, constipation, inflammation, or dysbiosis puts your body into fight-or-flight, leading to elevated cortisol. High cortisol = low energy, cravings, stubborn weight gain, and irregular cycles.

4. Your gut affects thyroid hormones

The gut is responsible for converting T4 → T3 (your active thyroid hormone).When gut health is compromised, metabolism slows, causing:

• Low energy

• Weight gain

• Brain fog

• Hair thinning

This is why gut healing must come before hormonal healing.

Are Your Hormones Imbalanced? Key Signs Your Gut Is Involved

If you experience any of these symptoms, your gut is likely contributing:

• Bloating (especially after meals)

• PMS or painful periods

• Hormonal acne (jawline, chin, cheeks)

• Weight gain despite eating well

• Anxiety or mood swings

• Fatigue

• Constipation or sluggish digestion

• Sweet cravings

• Water retention or puffiness

These are not random symptoms — they’re messages from your body.

The Hormone Reset I Teach in the Happy Gut Online Masterclass

Inside the Happy Gut Online Masterclass, I walk you through a proven four-phase system I use with my private clients to restore both gut and hormone balance.

Phase 1

Identify foods, bacteria, toxins and lifestyle triggers driving inflammation and hormonal disruption.

Phase 2

Heal your gut lining using targeted nutrients, herbs, and food combinations that strengthen digestion.

Phase 3

Reintroduce the right strains of beneficial bacteria to rebalance the microbiome and estrobolome.

Phase 4

Rebuild long-term hormonal harmony through stress management, sleep strategies, nervous system support, and daily routines.

This is not a quick fix — it is a systematic gut-led approach to hormonal healing.

And the results speak for themselves:More energy. Better digestion. Clearer skin. Calmer moods. Lighter cycles. Balanced hormones.

Real Women, Real Transformations

Most women join my masterclass after months — or years — of searching for answers.They’ve tried supplements, diets, or prescriptions… but nothing changes until they heal their gut.

Within weeks, they begin to notice:

• Less bloating and discomfort

• More regular periods

• Clearer skin

• Uplifted mood

• More energy throughout the day

• Reduced PMS symptoms

• Better sleep

• Curbed cravings

Because when your gut works properly, everything else clicks into place.

How to Get Started With Healing Your Gut Today

Here are simple steps you can start immediately:

1. Remove inflammatory triggers

This includes alcohol, sugar, processed foods and excessive caffeine.

2. Add daily gut-nourishing foods

Leafy greens, bone broth, wild fish, seeds, berries, ginger, turmeric.

3. Address constipation

A constipated gut = recirculated hormones.

4. Reduce stress load

Cortisol disrupts every hormone.

5. Start a guided gut-healing plan

If you want lasting results, you need structure.
