The gut–hormone connection
Science increasingly shows that during perimenopause, gut health plays an important role in how you feel. By focusing on the gut–hormone connection, this approach highlights the role of the estrobolome in estrogen metabolism and helps address underlying contributors to common menopause symptoms, including anxiety, brain fog, and hot flashes.

The Better Gut difference
"I’ve been taking Better Gut and honestly, it’s amazing. There’s such a strong connection between gut health and hormone health, and when perimenopause begins, it can really disrupt that balance. Taking a high-strength probiotic like Better Gut is such an important step. It’s formulated with clinically-backed strains to help bloating, brain fog, and even boost your mood and energy."
- Eva Speakman, Author and Therapist

Get to know your hormones
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, sending signals between your brain, gut, muscles, and organs. Balanced hormones mean you feel more like you again.
Estrogen
Estrogen
Crucial for reproductive health and involved with every cell in our body, this hormone feeds our bones, heart, brain, skin, muscles, and joints. It controls inflammation, mood fluctuations, and our gut’s sensitive microbiome.
Progesterone
Progesterone
Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy while supporting sleep and feelings of calmness and wellbeing. Best known for its role in our menstruation cycle and pregnancy, it also supports sleep by promoting the neurotransmitter GABA.
Insulin
Insulin
Insulin regulates blood sugar, which is critical in energy management, energy production, and fat storage, especially around the belly.
Testosterone
Testosterone
Testosterone is involved in supporting our mood, driving motivation, energy, and muscle mass creation. It is also converted to oestrogen, which becomes more important during menopause as the ovaries shut down. It also plays a role in blood sugar regulation, which is critical in our energy management, energy production, and fat storage, especially around the belly.
Cortisol
Cortisol
The hormone involved in the famous “fight or flight” stress response you’ve heard about, cortisol affects mood, energy, and fat storage. When cortisol spikes, so does our insulin, which “switches on” fat storage. This is why managing stress is such a key factor in maintaining a healthy weight.
