3 Things Perimenopause Changed in My 40s: Gut Health, Grit & Smart Supplements

Your hormones have seasons — and somewhere in my 40s, mine changed the rules on me. In this episode, I walk through the three things that actually shifted: how much my gut became the lever for everything (the estrobolome is real, and so is my new sensitivity to skipping fiber), why I didn't lose my grit but redirected it toward what I value, and how I supplement now — like maintaining a car with 200,000 beautiful miles on her. I frame the whole thing as a letter: what I'd say to my younger self, and what I hope my older self says back to me. The thread underneath all of it — a deposit now for a fuller withdrawal later. 🌿 Grab the free Feed Your Phase guide — a map of how your plate should follow your hormones across all four seasons! 📋 I opened a few intake assessment spots this summer and have a couple left.
