As a follow-up to episode #421 specifically on microbiome shifts in perimenopause, this episode answers questions about gut health and hormones (such as symptoms that occur throughout the cycle and when starting HRT) as well as more general gut health questions. I cover how to triage: hormones, gut health, autoimmunity, etc., so you know where to start; how to deal with SIBO flares; how to tackle gut health and autoimmunity together; why elevated liver enzymes do not mean you need to do a detox and a whole lot more!
