Bloating isn't just a food thing

from The Happy Hormones Coach®️ Hosted by Jenifer Gamayo Self

Think bloating is just about what you eat? Think again. In this episode of The Happy Hormones Coach Podcast, I share why bloating in perimenopause often has more to do with hormone shifts, stress, sluggish digestion, and water retention than it does with gluten or dairy. You’ll learn the hidden triggers that keep you feeling puffy — even when your diet is “perfect” — and why over-restricting foods can actually make bloating worse. I’ll walk you through practical, hormone-friendly strategies to support digestion, reduce water retention, and calm your nervous system so you can feel lighter and more comfortable without cutting out all your favorite foods.
