In this episode, I sit down with PhD nutrition scientist Dr. Emily Prpa to pull back the curtain on the "female gut" and explore why, for far too long, we've been given health advice designed for men while our own unique biology was left in the dark. What we cover: - The Gender Data Gap: Why nutritional advice is often derived from men and how it affects you. - Hormonal Control: How estrogen and progesterone dictate your digestion and heart health. - The Microbiome Shift: What happens to your gut during the transition to menopause. - The Power of Perspective: Viewing menopause as a "renewal" rather than an "abyss." - Early Warning Signs: Identifying fatigue and sleep issues long before hot flashes start. - Body Literacy: Learning to trust your physical instincts over social conditioning. - Midlife Nutrition: Using your microbiome to manage erratic hormonal shifts. About the Dr. Emily Prpa: Dr. Emily Prpa is a PhD-prepared nutrition scientist and researcher dedicated to cutting through the noise of the wellness industry. She specializes in making complex science culturally relevant and practical, helping women understand the deep interplay between their gut health and their hormones.
