This is Reason #5 of my series "10 Reasons to go Plant-Based in 2026"

Your gut microbiome - the trillions of microbes living inside you - does far more than help you digest food. It plays a critical role in regulating the hormones that influence your mood, stress levels, appetite, metabolism, and overall health.

Despite trends that frame meat-heavy diets as “strong” or “masculine,” the science tells a different story. Diets high in saturated fat from animal foods can contribute to excess estrogen in both men and women, while fiber-rich plant foods help bind and remove excess hormones from the body.

A whole food plant-based diet supports a healthy microbiome, helping to:

-Lower cortisol (stress hormone)
-Increase serotonin (happy hormone)
-Balance estrogen and testosterone
-Regulate appetite and blood sugar
-Reduce inflammation and chronic disease risk

If you’ve ever felt hungry, moody, stressed, or “off,” it might not be "you".

It might be what you've been eating.
