In this episode, we are navigating gut issues and perimenopause, bloating, gas, constipation and reflux. This is an area that I think gets overlooked a ton in perimenopause because we've made the main thing about period symptoms, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, weight gain, all of those things that definitely matter and will happen throughout that journey. But there are so many other symptoms and signs that the body is giving us that things need a different level of support as we age...

In this episode, Megan and I dive into holistic solutions for PCOS + Endometriosis.
