Author: Chemaine Linnie October 13, 2025 Duration: 1:07:40
In this episode, I sit down with the genius that is Dr. Sam Shay to uncover the true drivers of hormonal imbalance and how everything from your gut to your mindset can influence your hormonal health. We explore how metabolic health, liver detoxification, and gut function all work together to keep your hormones in balance… or throw them into chaos. From alcohol’s impact on estrogen and liver health, to the powerful gut-brain-hormone connection, this conversation brings clarity to the complex web of hormone regulation. ✨ You’ll learn: The top root causes behind “hormone havoc” How poor gut health burdens the liver and disrupts estrogen detoxification The link between estrogen and histamine intolerance (and how to calm it) Why alcohol can completely derail hormonal balance The impact of stress and emotional health on hormones The role of testing and what labs are worth your attention in Dr Sam's opinion And lots more. If you’ve been struggling with hormone symptoms, fatigue, mood swings, or metabolism issues, this episode will help you understand why and where to start. We hope you enjoy it and please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments.
