Did you know changing how you eat in midlife can reduce perimenopause and menopause symptoms by up to 60%? In this Hormone–Gut Masterclass, I’m joined by Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner, metabolic health expert and author of the upcoming book The Menopause Gut (Pre-Order Now). She explains how shifting hormones reshape our gut — and how simple, sustainable nutrition changes can dramatically change how we feel. Almost 80% of women experience gut-related issues during this transition. No surprise then, that the gut is a control centre for so many perimenopause and menopause symptoms. It’s responsible for more than digestion — it influences our brain, bones, immunity, mood, cravings and sleep. Nearly every system in the body is connected. You’ll learn Smart nutritional shifts that deliver the biggest impact • Why protein becomes non-negotiable in midlife • Fibre is the new “F-word" • Cynthia’s essential habits for starting the new year stronger • How hormones and the gut impact every organ in our body If you’re wondering how to adjust the way you eat to support your hormones, energy, body and mood — this episode is your roadmap.
