Every day we hear more and more about the importance of gut health and how it relates to all chronic disease states, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Our conventional healthcare system is not well-versed in preventive approaches to overall health, especially when it comes to gut health. More often than not, doctors we see are not asking us about the foods we are eating, or not eating, our level of daily stress, sleep, or exercise routine- all of which influence our gut health. Poor gut health can now be scientifically tied to poor mental health, low libido, weight gain, hair loss, disrupted sleep, and so much more. Layer on top of that the menopause transition that all women will go through. The Menopause transition opens up the doors to chronic disease states, and so much more. One of the first lines of defense is getting our gut health in order. Science is now showing how the microbiome changes during menopause, causing gut dysbiosis, inflammation, weight gain, skin and hair issues, and more Kiran Krishnan is a research microbiologist and a health and wellness expert who aims to make complex information understandable to all.
