Ep 78 - Gut Health, Hormones, and the Menopause Connection: Kim Hynes and I Share Our Personal Journeys

In this episode, fellow health coach and friend Kim Hynes and I share the gut health challenges we've faced over the past year during perimenopause and menopause. From bloating and skin rashes to constipation, we explored both functional and Western medicine, including GI-MAP testing, and made lifestyle changes.

Through our experiences, we've gained a deeper understanding of what many women face during this time.

We discuss how hormonal shifts affect gut health, estrogen metabolism, and overall well-being. You'll hear practical tips for managing symptoms like weight gain, joint pain, and insulin resistance through diet, supplements, and stress management.

We also dive into our ongoing health goals, emphasizing lifelong habits to support gut and hormone balance. We hope this conversation resonates with you and encourages you to seek support.

Don't miss next week's episode, where my guest Kelly Schmidt will unpack my own gut healing journey, offering insights into what to do—and what not to do—while navigating gut health with autoimmune conditions. Tune in for tools to support your own health journey!
