And when changing the routine does not fix it, hormones usually get the blame. But there is another shift happening at the same time that rarely gets brought into the skin conversation: your gut. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we get into what starts changing in the gut through perimenopause and menopause, the surprising ways those changes can show up far beyond digestion, and why some of the health strategies women swear by before 40 may need to be reconsidered later. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, author of The Menopause Gut , and an international speaker with more than 25 years of experience in women’s health, metabolic health, perimenopause, menopause, and intermittent fasting. What’s Discussed: (04:01) The health crisis that changed the way Cynthia understood midlife health. (19:12) The gut-hormone connection most women do not know exists. (23:14) What changes when estrogen, immunity, and the gut start shifting together. (29:13) The early signs that progesterone may be changing. (35:49) What your gut may have to do with ovarian and mitochondrial aging. (41:46) The part of longevity Cynthia thinks we are seriously underestimating. (47:54) Why Cynthia changed her own approach to intermittent fasting after 40. Listen to this episode of Biohacking Beauty to learn what midlife gut changes may have to do with your skin, and why the answer may go much deeper than changing your skincare routine.
