This episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, is a deep dive into something that gets missed way more often than people realize: H. pylori. A lot of women think of it as only an ulcer or reflux bacteria, but it can actually impact so much more things like digestion, minerals, iron levels, skin, thyroid health, hormones, and even fertility.

I talk about why H. pylori can make it harder to absorb nutrients like iron, B12, and fat-soluble vitamins, how it connects to things like Hashimoto’s, histamine issues, acne, sluggish digestion, and immune stress, and why gut health matters so much when it comes to fertility for both women and men. We also get into testing, treatment options, biofilms, nervous system support, and the foundational lifestyle pieces that often get overlooked.

In this episode, I cover:

• What H. pylori actually is
• Signs and symptoms that often get missed
• Gut health, skin issues, and histamine reactions
• The connection between H. pylori and Hashimoto’s
• Biofilms and hidden gut infections
• GI-MAP testing and treatment options
• Foundational healing support for the gut and nervous system
