Gut Health Explained: How Your Gut Microbiome Controls Hormones, Mood and Weight

Your gut is not just a digestion system, it is one of the most powerful control centers in your body. In this episode, Dr. Taz explains how the gut lining, bile, digestive enzymes, and microbiome all work together to shape your hormones, mood, weight, and inflammation. You will learn why gut health is still not standard of care in conventional medicine, how stress, toxins, sleep, and even popular GLP 1 drugs change the microbiome, and what that means for conditions like anxiety, depression, perimenopause, menopause, and stubborn belly fat.

Dr. Taz shares:
• Why ancient systems called the gut "ground zero" and modern research is finally catching up
• The four pillars of gut health: gut lining, digestive enzymes and stomach acid, bile flow, and a diverse microbiome
• How leaky gut, SIBO, candida, and low diversity bacteria drive inflammation, brain fog, rashes, and chronic symptoms
• The gut brain axis and why up to 90 percent of serotonin and other neurotransmitters are made in the gut
• How butyrate and beta glucuronidase affect estrogen recycling, perimenopause, and andropause, leading to estrogen dominance and hormone shifts
• The links between microbiome balance, circadian rhythm, GLP 1 medications, and metabolic syndrome and weight gain
• A practical step by step protocol using diet changes, collagen, glutamine, enzymes, probiotics, fermented foods, sleep, and stress tools to rebuild gut health

Whether you are dealing with mood changes, hormone chaos, weight that will not budge, or unexplained symptoms that never fully resolve, this episode gives you a clear roadmap to understand your gut and start rebuilding your microbiome from the inside out.
