The Perimenopause Gut Link: What Every Woman Over 35 Must Know

[@heatherh.197]

There is zero help and guidance a from doctors these days. That's why I'm here. Thank you for this video.

[@JennPike]

You’re so welcome! What have you been struggling most with?

[@heatherh.197]

@JennPike overactive pelvic floor. I feel like hormone surges make it worse. As well as digestive issues and constipation too. I actually canceled an appointment for this week where they wanted to medicate my bladder and botox my pelvic floor. No additional information was given and im unsure if that's what I actually need.

[@JennPike]

@@heatherh.197have you worked with a pelvic floor therapist before? Also have you done any gut health testing like a GI Map?

Hi Jenn, I haven’t thanked you lately in the comments for everything that you do for all of us ladies. I don’t know how I got so lucky to be born around the same time as you but I surely thank God for you so much ❤❤❤ I just turned 47 and I appreciate you sharing your love and knowledge on KZbin 🌸🌸🌸 I don’t know if you remember meeting me years ago at the Toronto Yoga Conference when you did a class with Sadie . Thank you for being one of my angels 🙏😇🪽🪽 Alanna ✨

How do we find doctors in our area who practice like you? What do we search for?

Thank you so much for this video! I had these issues, thought it was perimenopause, got HRT, still same issues, my GP sends me to abdominal Ultrasound - gallstones! 2 cm! Whaaaaat!? I'm healthy, eat healthy, live heathy, also stopped any alcho last year (yes, take a wine glass and fill it with soda!). Turns out gallstones run in our family. I go to a specialist - GE tells me there's nothing to do, when I start getting attacks they'll just remove the whole thing, no probs. Whaaaat?! Nooo! Did my own research (I'm in Health Promotion) and found a supplement I take before meals (Rowachol here in the EU). And also Ursodeoxycholic acid in capsules, I had to ask my GP for a prescription. Basically no help from any of the doctors. Doing the lemon water. Hoping they go away 🤞 Having another ultrasound next year.

[@richardbrooks7157]

I’ve stopped drinking because of heart palpitations quite often it’s quite frightening at times because I feel as if my heart is going to stop beating at times

[@JennPike]

That is definitely a symptom to pay attention! Glad to hear you're in tune with that

[@mogon80]

Thank you Jenn, which brands do you recommend to those in Europe?

[@JennPike]

Try looking on iHerb and seeing what they have, amazon can be helpful too

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

12:16 Literally me!

[@JennPike]

Glad you're watching then! Definitely review the tips and strategies for supporting your liver and stay consistent with it ❤

[@MM-fy4bw]

Thank you for another great video! I am 49 and cannot drink alcohol any longer. I feel it after 1 glass. I am happy because it forced me to stop reaching for that glass or two of wine after a stressful workday but do miss having some drinks socially or on special occasions or even just on my own once in a while. Is there anything at all that we can to to mitigate the symptoms? Wishful thinking I'm sure 😊

[@theeggtimertictic1136]

What way does it affect you?

[@JennPike]

Glad you enjoyed this video. I can't reccomend anything specific that would help with a better response to alcohol consumption. If you watched youll know i think its great to avoid altogether 😉 In general, great things to focus on is blood sugar stability, 120+ grams of protein per day, quality nourishment and the tips from this video. Also stay hydrated and listen to your body.

I have always had very difficult digestion with lots of gas and bloating. I am the same age as you and am looking to change things up and be free from these things. I have apple cidar vinegar in my house. How much do I take and when and how to optimize digestion? Side note, I don't drink alcohol and only decaf coffee very occasionally.

[@JennPike]

With Apple Cider Vinegar, you can take about 1 tbsp diluted in an ounce of water before your meals. I take it in a shot glass!

[@niamhbyrne4036]

​@@JennPikeYou should always dilute apple cider vinegar in a glass of water as dentist say it will damage teeth if you drink it undiluted

[@leahmatteis7800]

@jennpike thank you so much. I was happy to find your video- I purchased your coregeous- simplicity dvd’s at a previous Toronto Yoga Show- great investment. It appears the link to the free guide isn’t working.
