   #171 Gut Health After Menopause - Why Your Microbiome Matters for Healthy Ageing

   In this video, I share an excerpt from my book Life After Menopause, focusing on the final “E” in the EMBRACE protocol - Elimination - and why gut and microbiome health becomes so important after menopause. Your gut's role is far more than just digestion. It influences inflammation, immunity, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, weight, mood and brain health. Hormonal changes after menopause, combined with years of diet, stress and medications, can significantly affect the gut microbiome, with wide ranging effects on how we age. In this episode, you’ll learn: what the gut microbiome is and why it’s often called the “second brain” how menopause affects gut health, hormone metabolism and the gut–brain axis simple, practical ways to support your microbiome through diet and lifestyle I also explain when lifestyle changes aren’t enough and why testing can provide clarity. Towards the end of the video, you'll learn about our new Microbiome Explorer test, an advanced gut microbiome test using metagenomic sequencing to show not just which microbes are present, but what they are doing in the gut. This episode is based on an excerpt from Life After Menopause; https://happyhormonesforlife.com/life-after-menopause.

   #170 Is the Weight-Loss Jab Enough? Understanding the Emotional Side of Eating

   In this week’s episode, I’m joined by emotional and disordered eating specialist Lisa Unger for an honest look at the rise of weight loss injections and the impact they can have. We explore how weight, food and wellbeing are deeply tied to our emotions, self esteem and body image. Lisa explains why medications like Ozempic can help some people, especially those with Type 2 diabetes, yet rarely create lasting change unless we also address the underlying drivers of our eating behaviours. We touch on the emotional layers that so often sit beneath overeating, why focusing only on food keeps us stuck, and how nurturing body esteem, self trust and emotional resilience leads to sustainable, long term change. Find out more about Lisa here; https://lisaunger.co.uk

[…] It just seems to be very inflammatory triggering for a lot of women, especially those with a sensitive immune system that are vulnerable to autoimmune conditions. So if anyone's listening and they haven't tried going gluten-free just for a short while to see how it benefits them, I always find the number of women that do a gluten-free diet for 30 days come back and say, I feel better in pretty much every respect. So It's one of those things that I it's one of the first things that we say to women to try it with any kind of actually health condition. It's it can be an ease. […]
