Her Bodhi Dietary Supplements

Her Bodhi The gut microbiome emerges as an unexpected player in menopausal weight management through its role in hormone metabolism, nutrient extraction, and metabolic signalling. The collection of gut bacteria capable of metabolising oestrogens—termed the estrobolome—influences circulating oestrogen levels by determining how much oestrogen is reabsorbed versus eliminated. An imbalanced microbiome can contribute to either oestrogen deficiency (by failing to reactivate oestrogens for reabsorption) or excess (by reactivating too much), affecting metabolic function. Additionally, certain bacterial species influence how many calories the body extracts from food, affect inflammation levels, and produce metabolites that influence appetite regulation and fat storage.
Her Bodhi's inclusion of probiotics and fibre-rich ingredients like flaxseed supports gut health, potentially influencing these microbiome-mediated metabolic pathways. Probiotics help maintain healthy bacterial balance, support the gut barrier to prevent inflammation-promoting endotoxin leakage, and may enhance metabolism of phytoestrogens like soy isoflavones into their active forms. The soluble fibre in flaxseed feeds beneficial bacteria, promotes satiety, helps regulate blood sugar, and binds to excess oestrogens and bile acids for elimination, supporting both gut health and hormone balance.
The Role of Adaptogens in Menopause Support
Adaptogens represent one of the most fascinating categories of botanical medicine, with particular relevance for menopausal women. These remarkable plants help the body adapt to stress, maintain balance across various physiological systems, and build resilience—qualities especially valuable during the hormonal upheaval of menopause. Understanding adaptogens illuminates why ingredients like ashwagandha play such a central role in Her Bodhi's formula and how they support wellness beyond simple symptom suppression.
Stress Response
Adaptogens modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, helping regulate cortisol release and stress hormone patterns.
Homeostasis
These botanicals support the body's self-regulating mechanisms, promoting balance rather than pushing systems in one direction.
Cellular Energy
Adaptogens enhance mitochondrial function and cellular energy production, supporting physical and mental stamina.
Resilience Building
Regular adaptogen use helps increase overall stress resilience, making the body better able to handle physical and emotional challenges.
The term "adaptogen" was coined in the mid-20th century by Russian scientist Nikolai Lazarev to describe substances that increase the body's resistance to stress. To qualify as a true adaptogen, a plant must meet three criteria: it must be non-toxic at normal doses, it must produce a non-specific increase in resistance to various stressors (not just target one system), and it must have a normalising influence on physiology regardless of the direction of change caused by the stressor. This last criterion is particularly important—adaptogens help high parameters come down and low parameters come up, promoting equilibrium rather than pushing the body in a predetermined direction.
