Impact of gut health on the
menstrual cycle and PMS
Most of us think of the gut as the place where digestion happens, but few realize it’s also a command center for your hormones—especially the ones that shape your menstrual health. In recent years, research has illuminated how deeply connected the gut microbiome is to our endocrine system, especially through a subset of bacteria known as the estrobolome.
This group of microbes plays a pivotal role in metabolizing and regulating estrogen—the hormone that governs everything from ovulation to mood, skin, appetite, and even how you experience PMS. When this system is off, even subtly, it can lead to estrogen being either reabsorbed or poorly excreted from the body— disrupting your hormonal rhythm and triggering symptoms that many women have been told are “normal”: fatigue, irritability, bloating, cramps, and emotional turbulence.
This masterclass, led by Ayurvedic expert Dr. Shubhangee, takes you into the heart of this
connection between gut health and the menstrual cycle, through a lens that goes deeper than
surface-level symptom relief.
It helps you identify the subtle signs that your gut is off-rhythm: not just the obvious bloating or indigestion, but emotional volatility, energy crashes, acne, and cravings that appear like clockwork before your period.
Through Dr. Shubhangee’s guidance, you’ll begin to see these not as isolated issues, but as signals
—your body’s quiet way of asking for recalibration. What sets this class apart is its grounding in practical, natural tools. You won’t just learn why the gut matters—you’ll be given rituals, food suggestions, and lifestyle rhythms that support real healing. You’ll explore the role of inflammation in PMS, how to restore microbial diversity in the gut, and how to shift out of cycles of discomfort and into cycles of vitality. Ayurveda doesn’t believe in suppressing symptoms—it teaches you how to listen to them, understand their origin, and bring the body back into its own intelligence.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a completely new perspective on your period—not as a
dreaded, painful event, but as a monthly report card of your inner ecosystem. And more importantly,
you’ll leave with tools that enable you to nurture that ecosystem with awareness and gentleness. If
you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or just tired of not knowing why your body feels the way it
does before your period, this is the class that will finally connect the dots.
