146: The Estrobolome: What Your Gut Is Doing to Your Hormones with Caroline Carralero and Lizzie Ens

Description

Gut health and hormone balance are not two separate conversations. They are the same one. If you are dealing with bloating, irregular cycles, stubborn weight, fatigue, or the skin issues that nothing seems to fix, your gut microbiome may be the root cause.

There is a specific subset of gut bacteria called the estrobolome, and it controls how your body processes and clears estrogen. When it is out of balance, estrogen builds up, symptoms pile on, and no supplement in the world will move the needle until the gut is addressed first.

In this episode, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach and founder of Undiet You, sits down with Caroline Carralero, CEO and founder of Daily Nouri, a targeted gut microbiome company built specifically for women.

Caroline breaks down how the estrobolome works, why PCOS, estrogen dominance, and infertility all have a gut connection, and how targeted strain-specific probiotics are fundamentally different from the one-size-fits-all bottle you have probably tried before. Daily Nouri is currently running a first-of-its-kind clinical trial on their Hormone Balance probiotic.

This episode gives you the science in plain language so you can start making decisions that actually match how your body works.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What the estrobolome is and why this lesser-known part of your gut microbiome directly controls how much estrogen circulates in your body at any given time.
  • Why PCOS, endometriosis, estrogen dominance, and infertility all share a gut root cause, and what that means for where healing has to start.
  • The difference between a generic probiotic and a targeted strain-specific probiotic, and why the cheap bottle from the drugstore was never designed to help with hormone imbalance.
  • Why sleep is your number one detoxer, and how skipping rest is keeping your gut and hormones stuck no matter what else you do.
  • The specific Daily Nouri product Caroline recommends as a starting point for women in their twenties, thirties, and perimenopause, including what makes each phase of life different.
  • Why your body cannot heal in a stressed state, and how the cortisol-gut-hormone loop keeps women spinning their wheels even when they are doing everything right.
