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.
