Gut health and childhood trauma can both have an impact on the development of irregular periods in adults. Gut health plays a significant role in the regulation of hormones, and imbalances in the gut microbiome can lead to hormonal imbalances that can cause irregular periods. Childhood trauma, such as physical or emotional abuse, can also affect hormone regulation and lead to irregular periods. This can happen due to the stress response that is activated during traumatic events, which in turn can affect the balance of hormones. A naturopath can support with dietary and lifestyle changes to improve gut health and address the impact of childhood trauma. Probiotics, prebiotics, and fermented foods can be used to support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, and cognitive-behavioral therapy can be used to address the impact of childhood trauma on hormone regulation
