"Gut health” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot these days. You even see it on products like soda, chips, and prepackaged snacks, claiming that they’re good for your gut health.

But what does it mean to have good gut health? How do you know if your gut is unhealthy?

And the BIG question, how does perimenopause impact your gut health?

In this episode, we dig into all of that, and more! Plus, you'll hear some slightly embarrassing (well, vulnerable!) personal stories about my own gut health journey, and how I’m managing things in perimenopause.
