The Menopause Gut: Balance Your Microbiome to Reclaim Your Health in Midlife and Beyond
A gut-centric approach to women’s health through perimenopause and menopause from the author of Intermittent Fasting Transformation

The conversation around menopause has finally shifted toward helping women navigate this transition and easing their symptoms. But, as nurse practitioner and women’s wellness advocate Cynthia Thurlow illustrates in this paradigm-shifting book, medical advice for women at this stage of life has overlooked an essential piece: The powerful connection between our gut and our health as we age.

As The Menopause Gut explains, the composition of the gut microbiome shifts over the course of a woman’s lifetime, peaking at age 40. Cutting-edge research suggests a bidirectional relationship between our estrogen and progesterone levels and our microbes. As our hormones shift, we become much more vulnerable to inflammation, which impacts our immune function, metabolism, mood, cognition, bone health and much more. But there are simple steps we can take to get our gut, and our health, back on track. Cynthia guides readers on how to:
  • Combat bone loss through targeted exercise and nutrition
  • Replace hidden gut disruptors with fiber-rich foods that balance our weight
  • Practice cutting-edge stress management techniques that work
  • Realign our circadian rhythm and prioritize rest
  • Restore our immune systems by resolving leaky gut
  • Understand the benefits of hormone replacement therapy

Actionable and life changing, The Menopause Gut will inspire and empower women to take charge of their health in midlife.
