Why You’re Always Bloated (And How Hormones Could Be the Cause)
If you feel like you’re constantly bloated—no matter what you eat, it might not be your diet.
At Coastal Health & Vitality, we often see bloating tied directly to hormonal imbalances, not just digestion.
How Hormones Cause Bloating
Estrogen Dominance
Excess estrogen can lead to water retention and puffiness, especially around your cycle.
Low Progesterone
Progesterone helps regulate fluid balance—low levels can leave you feeling swollen.
Cortisol (Stress)
Stress slows digestion and increases inflammation, leading to bloating.
Gut + Hormone Connection
If your gut isn’t eliminating properly, estrogen can be reabsorbed—making symptoms worse.
