If your digestion feels different since hitting midlife — more bloating, sluggish bowels, or a stubborn shift around your middle — you’re not imagining it.
 In this episode of The Perimenopause Gutsy Talk Podcast, Christel explains how menopause changes your gut microbiome and what you can do to feel better.

You’ll learn:

•  Why falling oestrogen slows digestion and increases bloating
•  How your gut bacteria influence weight and metabolism in midlife
•  The surprising link between gut health and bone density
•  How your gut affects mood, anxiety, and brain fog
•  Why menopause inflammation rises — and how to calm it

You’ll also get simple, evidence-based tips to:

• Improve motility and reduce bloating naturally
• Support metabolism and balance blood sugar
• Protect bones and muscles through food choices
• Nourish your gut–brain axis for steadier mood and energy

This is your practical guide to understanding what’s changing — and how to support your gut so you can move through menopause feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control.
