SIBO doesn’t just cause digestive issues—it can also disrupt hormone balance by interfering with estrogen metabolism. It impacts the estrobolome, increases estrogen recirculation, impairs liver detox, and raises inflammatory metabolites. SIBO-related inflammation also raises cortisol, which suppresses sex hormones. Addressing SIBO can support hormone health, restore balance, and relieve symptoms like PMS, low libido, and irregular cycles.
