Gut health is a cornerstone of overall wellness, yet women face unique challenges that make them more susceptible to gastrointestinal (GI) disorders than men. Factors such as hormonal fluctuations and restrictive diets contribute to this disparity, highlighting the need for tailored solutions that address women’s specific digestive health concerns.
Hormones and the GI tract
Research indicates that reproductive hormones like oestrogen and progesterone directly impact the GI tract.
These hormones can influence:
- Motility (movement of the digestive system).
- Pain sensitivity.
- Brain-to-gut communication.
As a result, many women experience GI disorder flare-ups during menstruation or other hormonal shifts, making gut health a lifelong priority.
The role of diet
In the pursuit of health or the ‘perfect body’, many women adopt restrictive diets such as low-carb, vegan or keto. While some see benefits, others face negative consequences like yo-yo dieting, slowed metabolism and sluggish digestion.
Fad diets often fail to address the sustainable needs of women’s gut health, leaving them feeling worse than before.
