The Menopause Gut: How Your Microbiome Controls Your Hormones, Mood, and Metabolism with Cynthia Thurlow

We've had a lot of important menopause conversations, but nobody's given us the manual for the gut until now.

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and author of the brand new book, The Menopause Gut. And in this conversation, she and Dr. Mindy pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces of the entire menopause puzzle: the estrobolome.

This conversation is a must-listen for any woman in perimenopause or beyond who feels like she's doing everything right and still not feeling better. It's also essential if you've ever taken the pill, struggled with gut issues, or wondered whether your mood, sleep, and waistline might have more to do with your microbiome than your hormone panel.
