In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry has an enlightening discussion featuring Dr. Betty Murray, a leading expert in women's health and hormone metabolism. Dr. Betty dives deep into the intricate role of the enzyme beta glucuronidase and how it impacts everything from detoxification processes to hormone balance, particularly in women over 40. We also unpack the symbiotic relationship between hormones and the microbiome, and how this understanding can transform clinical practices.

In this interview, we discuss:

-What beta glucuronidase is and the relationship between hormones and the microbiome

-How microbiome changes with age and hormones - and its potential benefits

-The approach to testing for beta glucuronidase in conjunction with other tests

-The role of diet and supplements in managing microbiome and enzyme levels

-The concept of creating a healthier biome environment rather than targeting individual strains
