62. Why Gut & Digestion Changes During Perimenopause + Bloating, Constipation, Reflux, and What to Do About It
If you’re in your mid/late 30s, 40s, or even 50s, you’ve probably noticed some annoying changes with your gut health. Maybe you’re struggling with more bloating, constipation, food sensitivities, or you can tell your digestion is just ‘off’. It’s not just in your head - unfortunately, your gut can change pretty drastically during perimenopause.
