Welcome to the latest summer version of the Midlife Minute. In this episode, we’re focusing on the gut. Even though I’ve written a book about the gut microbiome changes that occur in perimenopause and menopause, I’m often asked whether the gut is truly central to midlife. So today, I provide direct answers to the many questions I received on this topic. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How the gut microbiome and estrogen work together, and the importance of supporting both How the estrobolome helps recycle estrogen, and why its function could decline during menopause How poor sleep, blood sugar instability, histamine issues, and dysbiosis tend to be interconnected The value of practitioner-guided microbiome testing when investigating histamine intolerance, dysbiosis, and weight loss resistance Various factors that could contribute to weight loss resistance How my approach to stool testing has evolved as newer microbiome testing technology has become available Essential lifestyle habits for supporting gut health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website.
