Basically, antibiotics, things like that, NSAIDs, ibuprofen, Tylenol. A lot of these actually alter the gut microbiome and that's going to affect how our gut communicates with our brain, and actually, our gut communicates more with our brain than our brain to our gut. So, it really is that gut-brain connection."  – Audrey Stimpson   "We have to deal with some levels of stress, and recognizing what it is that we need to remove ourselves from so that we can help our hormones." – Audrey Stimpson   You can connect with Audrey Stimpson through her: Website: https://www.audreystimpson.com/ Instagram: @audreystimpson YouTube: Audrey Stimpson Facebook: Audrey Stimpson Blog Email: mailto:[email protected]   You can connect with Brooke Jean through her: Website: Brooke Jean LLC Facebook: Brooke Jean LinkedIn: Brooke Jean Twitter: Brooke Jean Instagram: @brookejeanunperfected LEAVE A REVIEW Links:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookejeanunperfected/ Facebook private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MLALTL Website: https://www.brookejeanllc.com/ Join us!  The Unperfected Mama Group Program  here: https://www.brookejeanllc.com/group-coaching
