Listen Later

Imagine if your brain fog, fatigue, or stubborn weight gain wasn’t just about hormones or aging—but your gut and your gut health.

If you’re over 40 and are tired of jumping from one failed diet to another—this episode could be your lightbulb moment.

This week on the Healthy Mama Podcast, I’m joined by board-certified functional health coach and author Anu Simh to explore a powerful question: Could your gut health be the missing piece in your wellness journey?

Anu shares her own story of healing chronic gut issues after years of feeling unheard by doctors—and breaks down the science behind how the bacteria in your gut, the microbiome, influences everything from metabolism and inflammation to hormones and mood.

We discuss:
  • Why ultra-processed foods wreak havoc on your gut
  • Simple ways to add more fiber without overwhelm
  • The link between gut imbalance, sleep, and stubborn weight
  • What women in perimenopause need to know about the gut-hormone connection
  • Whether probiotic supplements are worth it—and what to look for
  • Her thoughts on GLP-1 medications, diet culture, and the power of sustainable habits
This episode is PACKED with the answers to your questions and will inspire you to start small, nourish your “forever guests,” and take back your health from the inside out.
