Yeah.
And I was like, what is happening?
So insulin and blood sugar regulation also becomes a huge issue at this time.
It has a lot to do with the dysregulation that's happening between that gut hormone brain connection also.
But it's something that we all deal with during perimenopause.
And this is a hot topic right now, but what about appetite?
Yes.
So that's another thing that estrogen helps regulate, right?
Your hunger hormones.
And so as you're moving through perimenopause, you're getting less of that satiety feeling and you're getting more cravings, which a lot of women will say, you know, your natural GLP-1 is going down.
And so you're really having more of an appetite to eat things lots of times that are unhealthy for you because you don't feel satisfied.
And those are gut hormones in there.
So there's a big crosstalk between what's going on in there and our hormones too.
Well, one is just that estrogen is going down.
Estrogen is an anti-inflammatory hormone.
And I know you talk about it all the time because in various settings, it shows up.
But this is one of the biggest reasons we are getting inflamed.
And it's kind of a chicken and the egg because not only does estrogen cause higher levels of inflammation, it also causes dysbiosis, which is like your gut bacteria change and your gut is getting more inflamed.
So not only is estrogen going down, but now your gut is more inflamed and making your estrogen, making the inflammation go up and the estrogen is going down, making your inflammation go up.
Right.
