Constipation, Bloating, Brain Fog? Your Gut Might Be Sabotaging Your Hormones - 29

In today’s episode, Abraham dives deep into the powerful connection between your gut and your hormones — and how issues like constipation, bloating, and brain fog aren’t just digestive problems, but clear signals your gut may be sabotaging your metabolism, energy, and weight.

You’ll learn how gut imbalances driven by stress, inflammation, and poor elimination can lead to estrogen dominance, sluggish thyroid, and hormonal chaos, especially for women between 35 and 45. Abraham explains how constipation can trap hormones in your system, how bloating can reflect microbial imbalance, and why brain fog often starts with gut inflammation that disrupts your hormone control centers.

He also shares practical steps to start restoring the gut–hormone balance—from improving daily elimination and supporting the liver, to managing stress and identifying food triggers.

If you’ve been eating clean but still feel “off,” this episode will help you understand the real reason behind your stubborn symptoms—and how healing your gut can finally help you reset your hormones, metabolism, and energy naturally.

🎧 Tune in to learn:

  • Why constipation and bloating may signal hormone imbalance

  • How stress and cortisol disrupt gut function

  • The science behind the gut–hormone feedback loop

  • Simple, actionable strategies to start balancing both

Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating. Learn how to listen, heal, and thrive.

Why Stress & Sleep Are "Invisible Calories" - 28

In this episode, I dive into a powerful yet often overlooked truth: your sleep and stress might be silently sabotaging your weight loss. You can eat clean, count calories, and exercise five days a week — but if your cortisol is high and your sleep is poor, your body will fight back.

I’ll explain how hormones like cortisol, insulin, leptin, and ghrelin respond to stress and sleep deprivation, and why pushing harder with dieting or workouts can actually backfire. You’ll also learn practical reset strategies to calm your system, restore hormonal balance, and finally get your body to respond again.

By the end, you’ll understand why rest and recovery aren’t “extras” — they’re the missing pieces of sustainable fat loss.

With so much confusion around what they actually do, he dives deep into the science and practical use of five of the most powerful and well-researched adaptogens: Ashwagandha, Reishi, Rhodiola, Holy Basil, and Ginseng.

You’ll learn:

  • What adaptogens really are and how they help the body adapt to stress

  • The difference between calming vs energizing adaptogens

  • When and how to take each one for the best results

  • Which combinations work best for stress, fatigue, sleep, and hormonal balance

  • Important safety notes and how to choose trusted, third-party verified brands

By the end, you’ll understand how to use adaptogens not as quick fixes — but as long-term allies for better energy, calmer mood, improved focus, and balanced hormones.
