The Perimenopause Gutsy Talk podcast
The Perimenopause GUTSY TALK podcast is for women in midlife who are done with bloating, brain fog, and unpredictable digestion—and want real-life support that actually helps.
Hosted by Gut Health Dietitian Christel Lyell, each episode dives into the real reasons your gut feels off in midlife—from hormone shifts and food reactions to stress, constipation, and more.
If you’ve been told it’s “just IBS” or “part of getting older,” this show is your safe space to feel seen, supported, and empowered to take back control of your gut and your life.
