Gut Health and Menopause: Breaking Down the Connection
Manage episode 427076968 series 3522747
Menopause encompasses three distinct phases: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, each with unique challenges.
Estrogen plays a pivotal role in various bodily functions, and its fluctuations during menopause can lead to significant health changes, including gut permeability and inflammation.
Personalized nutrition, including an emphasis on gut health, is crucial for managing menopausal symptoms effectively.
Collagen supplementation can provide considerable benefits for skin, hair, joint health, and gut integrity.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be beneficial but should be a personalized decision based on individual health needs and preferences.
