Healthy Gut, Healthy Hormones With Esther Blum

I chat with integrative dietitian Esther Blum about how your gut microbiome and stress affect your hormones, especially in perimenopause and menopause. Esther, an RD, chose to pursue the path of functional medicine, and explains how this differs from traditional dietetics. We chat about the gut, hormones, supplements, dietary changes and more! Visit Esther's website at estherblum.com. Esther is offering five complimentary consultations at estherblum.com/call.
