Gut health isn’t just digestion — it’s the hidden key to your skin, hormones, and glow. This episode unpacks the science + daily rituals that make balance possible.

When most people think about gut health, they think digestion. But the truth? Your gut is so much more than that. It’s the hidden regulator of your hormones, your energy, and even the glow in your skin.

In this week’s episode of Glowfully by Aléora, we’re diving into the overlooked connection between gut health and hormone balance — and how this relationship shapes everything from your cycle, to your skin, to your daily mood.

This is not about restrictive diets or complicated routines. It’s about understanding how your gut communicates with your whole body and learning the simple, accessible tools that bring it back into balance.
