What if ignoring your gut health is fueling a hormonal war inside your body?
In this episode of The Food Medic Podcast, Dr Hazel Wallace, a women’s health nutritionist, sits down with Dr. Megan Rossi, a gut health expert, about the complex links between gut health and women’s health. They discuss how gut bacteria influence hormones and conditions like PCOS and endometriosis, the impact of the menstrual cycle on digestion, and the importance of evidence-based probiotic use.
The episode covers:
-
How do gut bacteria influence hormones and conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis in women?
-
What is the impact of the menstrual cycle on digestion and gut health?
-
Why is evidence-based probiotic use important for women’s health?
-
What are some common myths about IBS, and what is the role of the vaginal microbiome?
-
What dietary strategies and personalised approaches does Dr. Rossi recommend?
The episode emphasises the importance of adopting personalised, research-backed approaches when it comes to managing women’s health. It highlights how nutrition and lifestyle strategies should be tailored to individual needs rather than one-size-fits-all solution. Listeners are encouraged to use this approach to make informed decisions that promote long-term wellness.
So, have you ever wondered how much your gut health affects your hormones and health? What if understanding your gut could unlock the key to feeling truly balanced and healthy?
