Episode Details

Are your bloating, new food sensitivities, and stubborn weight gain really about hormones or just getting older… or is your gut the hidden driver? And what if the key to a smoother menopause transition isn't another supplement, but rebuilding your gut foundation from the inside out?

We cover:

• How estrogen and progesterone shifts disrupt the gut microbiome

• Which gut issues increase after 40 and what to do about them

• The "major in the majors" approach to midlife health

• The surprising link between childhood trauma and menopause timing

• When gut supplements like TUDCA, digestive enzymes, and butyrate actually make sense and when they don't
