BONUS x Zita West: Ask Isabelle | Gut Health & Gaslighting

Welcome back to Ask Isabelle, our weekly bonus series in collaboration with Zita West.This week, Isabelle answers a listener question about microbiome testing and whether there is any benefit to testing the uterine or gut microbiome if a vaginal microbiome test has come back normal.We discuss what optimal microbiome health looks like, why everything starts in the gut, and the important role the microbiome plays in fertility. Isabelle also shares why probiotics can be beneficial for both women and men when trying to conceive.Plus, we answer a listener dilemma about a partner who secretly booked a holiday over her ovulation window, leading us into a discussion about communication, expectations and whether gaslighting might be at play.New bonus episodes every Thursday.Follow along:@[email protected] for personalised support?
