Your gut doesn't lie — and in perimenopause, it's sending
distress signals most doctors completely ignore.
Nurse practitioner, two-time TEDx speaker, and Everyday
Wellness podcast host Cynthia Thurlow joins Dr. Stephanie for
a conversation that starts in Morocco (food poisoning, a
hospitalization, and a perimenopause wake-up call nobody saw
coming) and ends with a clear-eyed framework for supporting your
gut, your bones, your immune system, and your sleep through the
hormonal chaos of midlife.
