Gut conversations around the changes happening in menopause aren’t discussed enough, and yet, they may explain why so many women suddenly feel like their body is working against them.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Cynthia Thurlow to unpack the seven big ideas around the gut transition during perimenopause and menopause. This conversation reveals how the gut becomes a central driver of aging, brain health, metabolism, and inflammation in midlife. Cynthia breaks down why so many women experience symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, and fatigue, how shifts in the microbiome and hormones are connected, and the overlooked role of compounds like butyrate, fiber, and circadian habits. She also shares her own wake-up call, the hidden signs of leaky gut, and the simple, high-impact strategies women can use to restore balance, protect their brain, and take back control of how they age.
