Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Health, and Science for Women 35+

Ep. 512 The Hormone-Gut Masterclass – The Most Overlooked Fix for Women's Health with Cynthia Thurlow, NP


Listen Later

I have received many requests for a masterclass on the gut microbiome, so I am excited to share one with you today.

In our masterclass today, I discuss the microgenderome, explaining how the gut microbiome changes throughout our lives, during puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause. I cover the key shifts in the microbiome that occur, especially as estrogen and progesterone fluctuate. I unpack the symptoms women experience that indicate their microbiome may be non-optimized, offering practical solutions, including lifestyle strategies, hormones, peptides, and targeted supplements.

My goal is to do a solo episode every month. Please let me know which aspect you enjoyed the most, and what you would like to hear more about in my future monthly solo episodes.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

  • Why protein is critical in midlife, and how much of it you need to consume

  • An easy way to incorporate the many different plant varieties you need to consume every week into your meals 

  • Why fermented foods and prebiotics are essential for your gut health

  • The benefits of giving your digestive system a 12-hour break each day

  • How chronic stress affects your weight, hormones, and gut function

  • The connection between sleep quality, gut health, and hormonal changes in midlife

  • How to balance exercise intensity in midlife to support muscle maintenance and recovery
