Eps 436: The Most Unsexy Thing You Can Do for Perimenopause Digestion with Dr. Meg Mill

Have you ever wondered whether the way you speak to yourself could affect your digestion, hormones, and weight loss?

In this episode, Bria sits down with Dr. Meg Mill, a doctor of clinical pharmacy and certified functional medicine practitioner, to explore the connection between thoughts, the nervous system, and physical symptoms.

Dr. Meg explains why stress can affect digestion, sleep, cravings, and energy, and shares her Seven Second Switch for interrupting unhelpful thoughts in real time.

They also discuss the Solara Method, a root-cause approach that starts with calming the nervous system before supporting digestion, nutrition, metabolism, hormones, and detoxification.

Your body is not failing you. It may be responding to signals you have not been taught to notice.
