Your gut does more than digest food — it’s a communication hub for your brain, hormones, and immune system. And for women, this conversation works in unique ways.

In this episode of It’s All Connected from Tia Health, host Elise Hu sits down with gastroenterologists Dr. Mayer and Dr. Ingraham to explore the gut-brain axis and how it affects women’s health. From estrogen’s role in gut function to how pregnancy, menopause, stress, and diet impact digestion, this episode unpacks why women’s guts are special — and what you can do to support yours.
