Episode 233: Why You Don’t Feel Like Yourself Anymore, And What Your Gut Is Trying to Tell You with Cynthia Thurlow

If you’re a woman at midlife and your body suddenly feels different — even though you’re doing “all the right things” — this episode will help you understand why. In this episode, Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, international speaker, and bestselling author of the Menopause Gut: Balance Your Microbiome to Reclaim Your Health in Midlife and Beyond. With more than 25 years of experience in health and wellness — and over 15 million views on her TEDx talk about intermittent fasting — Cynthia is one of the leading voices helping women understand the powerful connection between hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and the gut microbiome. You’ll learn how your gut microbiome impacts your weight, inflammation, metabolism, mood, brain fog, sleep, immune system, and energy — and why so many midlife symptoms are biological signals, not personal failures. Cynthia also shares simple, practical steps you can start using today to support your body during menopause and perimenopause instead of fighting against it. This conversation will help you stop blaming yourself, better understand your body, and advocate for the care and support you deserve. Because once you understand what’s happening, you can finally do something about it.
