FLASH CONNECT | November: The Gut–Hormone Connection: Why Gut Health Matters More in Perimenopause & Menopause
Sol's monthly event connecting health professionals with the community. Free to attend.
About this session
As oestrogen levels fluctuate and decline around menopause and perimenopause, this can influence the gut microbiome and the gut barrier. At the same time, our gut bacteria play an important role in how oestrogen is metabolised and recycled. This creates a two-way relationship between our hormones and our gut.
In this talk, Functional Medicine Health Coach Jo Brownlow will explore this gut–hormone connection, including emerging research, the microbiome and the estrobolome. She'll also look at how these changes may connect with common midlife concerns including bloating, digestive changes, inflammation, weight, mood and energy.
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of how your gut and hormones influence one another, what may be contributing to digestive and metabolic changes during perimenopause and menopause, and practical tools to support your microbiome, gut barrier, digestion and overall health.
