The gut-brain connection has been THE hot topic in academic and popular science for a while now because of the incredible evidence that's come out to support its validity. But as humans, we've known, or at least intuited, that there's some sort of connection for much longer. Just think about the ubiquity of the phrases "listen to your gut" or "butterflies in my stomach"!

Now, combine our long-standing human intuition with the rapidly stacking evidence from studies, and what we're left with is a powerful way to understand our personal health. That's what my guest this week on the Vibrant Menopause Podcast is doing, and she's using her expertise to beautifully guide women through their midlife transitions.

Her name is Dr. Ellen Albertson, a psychologist, registered dietitian, wellbeing coach, and self-compassion teacher. Known as The Midlife Whisperer™, she helps women find the energy, confidence, and clarity to make their next chapter their best chapter. 

Our conversation covers a variety of fascinating topics, including nutritional psychology, self-compassion, stress management, and of course, the gut-brain connection. She also offers practical tips for women navigating midlife changes, and introduces her book, 'Rock Your Midlife,' which outlines seven steps to a more fulfilling life in midlife and beyond.

This episode is a must-listen for any women looking to find energy, confidence, and clarity in their midlife, so I hope you enjoy and find it enlightening!
