Menopause and Gut Health - The Hidden Connection
(Click the gear icon to speed up the playback)
There's a growing body of evidence suggesting that the health of your gut, specifically your gut microbiome, plays a pivotal role in how you experience menopause. In todays' video I’m diving into this intriguing connection and exploring how maintaining a healthy gut can positively impact hormonal balance and reduce menopausal discomfort.
Practical Steps for Better Gut Health:
Here are some actionable steps you can take to improve your gut health during menopause:
Increase your intake of probiotic-rich foods and supplements: Yogurt, kefir, and high-quality probiotic supplements can be beneficial.
Prioritize fibre: Consume a variety of fibre-rich foods daily to support digestive health.
Add fermented foods to your diet: Experiment with different fermented products to diversify your gut microbiome.
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is crucial for gut health and overall well-being.
Manage stress: Chronic stress can negatively impact your gut. Incorporate relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing into your routine.
By understanding and actively supporting your gut microbiome, you can potentially reduce the severity of menopausal symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

It's too bad Doctors don't treat our gut health. We could literally all sign up for treatment, and it would decrease, or at least slow disease, and improve mental health and wellness.

Yep, the traditional system of medical care treats the symptoms rather than the cause in a lot of cases. It's frustrating. What we eat and drink (and don't) can make such a huge difference to how we enjoy our life. And also understanding that anti biotics really screw up your gut health. I saw a documentary a while back and doctors routinely were giving out anti biotics, even for viruses, which they have no effect on, because people were expecting them to go home with a pill. It's crazy. Even C-sections can have a negative impact on the newborn baby, but mums to be aren't made aware of it. They think they're signing up for the "easier" option, but it's not always the case that they are. Particularly if the baby then has increased risk of allergies etc. I could write an essay on it ....lol.

Hi, at what age did you go through menopause?
