Hot flushes and night sweats aren't the only thing that changes during peri-menopause or menopause.
Changes in progesterone and oestrogen create a vulnerability in the gastrointestinal tract and many other areas of the body like the brain and immune system.
Today, I wanted to touch on the inflammatory bacteria response during and after this season.
Many patients experiencing:
‣ aches and pains after 50, especially joint pain or arthritis,
‣ mood changes, especially irritability or anxiety.
‣ a change in bowel movements, like more diarrhoea, or, rotating from diarrhoea to constipation
This is largely due to specific types of bacteria that
typically have a greater sensitivity to oestrogen dropping,
which inflames the gut microbiome.
It's why many with conditions like PCOS or endometriosis suffer from low oestrogen and IBS or diarrhoea (especially before they start their periods).
We see hundreds of patients that significantly
- relieve pain,
- restore sleep,
- feel mentally clearer,
- and in more control of their health
when we work with their hormones and gastrointestinal tract, at the same time.
It's why we put a book together specifically on the peri-menopause/menopause/post menopause season, to help make sense of their symptoms or new-found gastrointestinal sensitivities.
