The gut and menopause with Christine Bailey

The gut microbiome and menopause

During perimenopause and menopause, the gut undergoes significant changes due to declining hormone levels. During this transition, women often experience an increase in a range of digestive issues, including heartburn, bloating, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms.

During this webinar, we will discuss the key changes to the gut microbiome, digestive health and function and implications through the body. We will also discuss the role of dietary intervention and lifestyle factors influencing the gut microbiome.

Topics covered:

• Impact of systemic hormone decline.
• Effects on gut health and the microbiome.
• Gut-body system interactions and relevance at menopause.
• Dietary applications.
• Role of supplementation.
