Who Knew? The Estrobolome, Lactation, and Health
Laurel Wilson, IBCLC, RLC, CLE, CLD, CCCE, BSc Abstract: The estrobolome is a collection of influential bacteria, fungi, and viruses (part of the microbiome) in the gut that impact estrogen release and hormonal function. This delicate balance of bacteria has a significant impact on estrogen creation. This influences the operation of the reproductive system, regulation of body fat, brain function, and cardiovascular and bone health. The estrobolome also plays a major role in the health and function of the mammary gland. As much as we know about the microbiome, not enough attention has been paid to the relationship of the estrobolome and lactation success. Gut dysbiosis is now recognized as playing a role in a baby’s food sensitivities and allergies, but it is now time to look at the microbiome’s impact on lactation itself and the the long-term health of the mammary gland regarding breast cancer. This presentation addresses what we know now about the estrobolome, how it functions, it’s relationship with reproductive organs, potential impacts on the mammary function, and how we can create positive change in the gut for optimal estrobolome performance.

Comments From Past Attendees:
- "I liked Laurel Wilson very much and her eagerness to learn and transcribe the information as simple as possible for us to understand the concept of the 'estrobolome!'"
- "Estrobolome is new to me, and I learned something about my own body; it was helpful."
- "The Estrobolome session was really interesting!"
- "Who Knew? The Estrobolome and the Mammary Gland. Wow! I really enjoyed this session. I found it fascinating that when you have gut issues or dysbiosis, the beta-glucuronidase enzyme levels in the estrobolome increase and can't do their job properly, which could produce either a deficiency or excess of toxic estrogen."
- "I will re-listen to the Estrobolome! That one was packed with new info. But embracing my meno-belly is a hard thing to wrap my head around!"
