Perimenopause Gut Chaos? The Surprising Way to Calm your Gut
Are you feeling bloated, gassy, or stuck with unpredictable digestion in perimenopause — no matter what you eat? Maybe you’re wondering: “Why does my gut feel so out of control — and is it really just food causing this?”
In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason your gut feels chaotic in midlife — and how your mind, stress levels, and hormones work together to shape every bite you eat.
✅ What we’ll cover:
- The gut-brain connection — your “second brain” and how your gut talks back.
- Why serotonin drops in perimenopause make your digestion more sensitive.
- The surprising truth about stress: how it can speed up or slow down your gut.
- Real client stories about blaming bread — and what really helped instead.
- Simple, practical ways to calm your belly by calming your mind.
- Why it’s not always the food — and how to spot your true triggers.
