You hear the phrase everywhere: gut health. It's on product labels, social media, and talked about by every wellness guru. But what does that even mean? More importantly, how does your gut health get impacted in perimenopause? And how are you supposed to fix it when you're already juggling a full life?

Trust me, I get it. For years, I struggled with mystery symptoms that felt completely disconnected, from bizarre skin rashes and sore joints to an inability to lose weight and chronic anxiety. It wasn't until I dug in and tested that I discovered the root cause: my gut was out of balance.

In this episode, I’m digging into the science of your gut microbiome, how fluctuating perimenopause hormones slow everything down (hello constipation!), and why your typical weight loss strategies feel impossible now.

I’m also going to get a little vulnerable with you and share my own personal story, including my decade-long battle with SIBO and candida overgrowth.

If you're struggling with constant gas, bloating (especially an hour after eating!), and feeling "backed up", this is an episode you can't miss!

In this episode, we're talking about:

✅ The Gut Microbiome, Simplified: A clear breakdown of what your "gut" actually is and the one thing it hates more than anything (hint: it's in your pantry right now).

✅ Hormones vs. Your Digestion: Why the drop in estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause is slowing your digestive tract down and causing a chaotic backup.

✅ Symptom Checker: The weird, surprising symptoms—like skin rashes, sore joints, and mental health issues—that can actually be clues to poor gut health.

✅ Easy Fixes That Actually Work: Simple, concrete steps you can take today, like a quick post-meal walk (without your phone!) and the non-negotiable diet change you need to make now.

✅ Your Family's Gut Health Matters: My slightly weird (but effective) ways to monitor my family’s gut health to keep the whole household healthier and happier.

You have the power to take control, even during perimenopause! Let's get to the root cause of your symptoms and start feeling vibrant again.

Today, we're diving into one of my favorite topics: food! But we're not just talking about what to eat; we're talking about how to do it without spending a fortune.

I know what you might be thinking—eating healthy, especially with an anti-inflammatory focus, is expensive. Maybe you have a big family to feed, or maybe you’re cooking for just a couple of people now that the kids are grown. Maybe your budget is tight. Whatever the reason, I want you to hear this loud and clear: eating healthy is accessible to everyone.

While some "healthy" foods can be pricey, I often find that my clients are spending a ton of money on pre-packaged things labeled as healthy, when the secret to saving money (and feeling great!) is sticking to whole foods in their most basic form.

In this episode, I'm sharing my top seven ways to eat healthy, anti-inflammatory foods on a budget. Get ready to take some notes because these are my go-to strategies for making every dollar count.

Here's a taste of what we’ll cover:

• Why a warehouse store membership might be the best investment for your health (and your wallet!) 💸
• The secret to saving money when buying animal protein
• Using frozen and canned produce to save money and get high quality
• Why you don’t need to buy organic to see real results in your health and weight loss
• Why a grocery list is your secret weapon against food waste (and budget-busting impulse buys)
• How to get your mindset right so you can make healthy food a priority, no matter what your budget is

I hope this episode helps you feel more confident about shopping for healthy food without breaking the bank. Healthy eating doesn't have to be expensive, and when it’s paired with delicious, family-friendly recipes, you’ll feel better, lose weight, and have a much better chance at reaching your health goals!
