What the GUT Is Happening?! Gut Health in Perimenopause/Menopause Explained

In this episode, we're diving deep into the gut—literally! We’ll explore how perimenopause and menopause shake up your gut health, from bloating and constipation to changes in your microbiome. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone don’tjust affect your mood and cycles—they also play a big role in digestion and gut balance. I’ll break down the science in simple terms and share practical, real-life tips to support your gut - think about such things as fiber-rich foods, drinking enough water, stress management and more - daily habits that can help balance your hormones. Gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s your foundation for hormone harmony. So if you're navigating midlife changes and want to feel better from the inside out, this episode is for you. Tune in, your gut will thank you!
