Welcome back to our series on all the changes in menopause that go beyond hot flashes. Today we’re talking about the gut and gut health. We have discussed the importance of the gut microbiome in previous podcasts but never in relation to perimenopause and menopause. And that’s because no one really knew that was a thing until very recently. But it makes sense though since our gut and the biodiversity of the microbiome affects every other aspect of our health why wouldn’t our hormone balance be involved in some way. That’s the topic of today's work IN.

Menopause brain…We say it like it’s a bad thing. We laugh it off as if it’s a joke when deep down we wonder if we’re losing our mind. It’s not a joke. And it’s not a loss either. It’s actually an update. During perimenopause and menopause every system in our body gets a giant hormonal update over the course of a decade or so. And just like when we update our computers or our phones, it takes time to learn the new systems. Things might look a little different on the home page than what we’re used to. The drop down menus change. That’s our Work IN today. We’re looking at how and why a woman’s brain changes through menopause.

Have you heard? 50 is the new 30. It’s true you’re as old as you believe you are. But the body ages from the inside out. Our bones are the architecture of our body and we take it for granted for the first half of our lives. Then we start to feel random things from mystery weight gain to general pain and inflammation as we start to lose the protection of estrogen and that’s when things start to get real. It can be scary and we can feel like we have no control over our health and wellness no matter what we do. One of the scariest parts of getting older is the fear of falling. That fear is based on the frailty associated with muscle and bone loss as we age. Estrogen is protective and it helps us build and keep our bone mass. Without that we have to do things through nutrition and exercise to pick up the slack.

The absolute mortality risk within a year after a hip break in women over 65 is over 20% according to the NIH. That begs the question, if women live longer than our beautiful men, how can we create that life to be vibrant and thriving as opposed to fragile and limited?

So our Work IN today is about strengthening the architecture of our body so that it can support us for a long and healthy life.
