The role of gut bacteria in hormonal health is still underexplored. We already know some bacteria like l. reuteri strains can increase the body's testosterone production, but it also looks like bacteria can reduce hormone production, including testosterone.
This new study suggests particular gut bacteria may have a role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, by reducing the body's production of corticosteroids and therefore increasing inflammation within the gut.
Fascinating stuff. Look after your stomach!
