Let's Talk All About Her
Introducing ‘Let’s Talk, All About Her’ hosted by Kirstin Bouse, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of All About Her - The Centre for Menopause.
The menopausal years last about half a woman’s lifetime. And given the constant unpredictable hormonal fluctuations (at least through perimenopause) they tend to be pretty ‘disruptive’ to say the least.
Join Kirstin and members of the All About Her Health Professional Community as they share their experiences of working with perimenopausal and post menopausal women. You’ll hear everything from accurate and up to date health and wellbeing information, through to tips and strategies and treatment pathways. All of this is designed to help you navigate these years in the best way possible … for you.
From psychologists and psychotherapists, to nutritionists and naturopaths, through to sexologists and nurse practitioners, the All About Her Health Professionals have decades of experience in their chosen field with the added knowledge, skill and commitment to supporting women as they navigate the menopausal years.
We’ll get a little deep as we ponder the purpose and meaning of this life stage and collectively muse about what wonderful things might be possible for us all. The conversations will be filled with buckets of compassion, and pragmatism (because while we’d all like to own a beautiful island to run away to often, I doubt any of us do). And here’s a heads up … there’s a 100% chance there will be some humour and expletives. It’s just how we roll.
And we’ve kept it ‘short’. Well, a little shorter than some of the podcasts out there. Why? Because we want to get useful information, relatable stories and a bunch of ‘hope’, to as many women who are going to step into this life stage as well as those who are in the thick of it, as quickly as we can.

Gut Health for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause
Gut health plays a vital role in women's health, especially during the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, yet it's often overlooked. In this episode, nutritionist and naturopath Susie Garden joins Kirsten Bouse to explore the significant impact of gut health on hormone balance, energy levels, and overall well-being.
Susie explains how to identify both the subtle and more obvious signs of an unhealthy gut, such as bloating, reflux, and excess gas. She highlights that these symptoms are not "normal" and should be addressed, as they indicate imbalances in the gut microbiome.
Key Topics:
- Recognizing gut health symptoms beyond just diarrhea or constipation
- Understanding when gut issues indicate an underlying problem
- Addressing gut health concerns, even if they appear to be "normal"
Whether you're dealing with ongoing gut issues or looking to enhance your health during menopause, this episode is full of valuable insights. Susie emphasizes the importance of paying attention to gut symptoms that may seem normal but could signal an imbalance, encouraging listeners to track how long these issues persist.
