    37. How to Have Healthy Poops With Dr. Colleen Parker

    Feeling bloated, gassy, backed up? Have you noticed changes in your bowel movements as you've aged? You're not alone. Nearly 40% of older adults have one or more age-related digestive symptoms each year. Gastroenterologist Dr. Colleen Parker takes us on a fascinating tour of our gastrointestinal system and our gut microbiome, and tells us what changes as we get older, why we might experience more issues such as constipation and bloating and what we can do about it. What role do hormones, menopause, stress and even medications play in our digestive changes? What about the mind-gut connection? Is leaky gut really a thing? She also helps us determine what is a "normal" bowel movement from an abnormal one and when to seek care. Finally, she tells us when and how laxatives like Senokot can be used to help ease symptoms and get things moving again. Episode sponsored by: @SenokotCanada (https://www.instagram.com/senokotcanada/) (senokot.ca (https://senokot.ca/)) Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo (https://www.instagram.com/melissagrelo/?hl=en) and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG (https://www.instagram.com/agingpowerfullywithmg/?hl=en), or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com (https://www.agingpowerfullywithmelissagrelo.com/).

    35. Menopause in the Workplace: How to Ask for and Get Support at Your Job

    So, you're learning more about menopause every day, but how much does your workplace support you in your journey? Does your boss know or care what you're going through? There are 10 million women aged 40 and up in Canada. Two million are between the ages of 45 and 55, and if they're in the workplace, many are in their peak earning years. The majority of us will experience menopause symptoms that interfere with daily activities and 10% of us will leave work due to debilitating symptoms. So, how can workplaces be supportive during this period and allow us to be as productive as possible? That is the conversation in this podcast episode. This episode is supported by Always Discreet (@AlwaysDiscreet (https://www.instagram.com/alwaysdiscreet/?hl=en) on Instagram)! Click here for your Always Discreet coupon: https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb (https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb)Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo (https://www.instagram.com/melissagrelo/?hl=en) and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG (https://www.instagram.com/agingpowerfullywithmg/?hl=en), or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com (https://www.agingpowerfullywithmelissagrelo.com/).

    30. Menopause 101: Breaking the Menopause Stigma With Dr. Sheila Wajayasinghe, Janet Ko and Amanda Thebe at the Always Discreet Live Event

    October is Menopause Awareness Month, and in recognition of this, I’m dedicating every episode to unique and important conversations about menopause. In April, I hosted an incredible event with leading experts: Dr. Sheila Wajayasignhe, Janet Ko, founder of the Menopause Foundation of Canada, and menopause coach and fitness expert Amanda Thebe. Together, these experts tackled all the big questions: - What is menopause, and does everyone experience it?- How severe can the symptoms get, and are any of them dangerous? - What treatments are available, and is hormone therapy suitable for everyone? - How do I access proper care, and what can I do if my doctor isn’t taking me seriously? - How can lifestyle changes help manage symptoms? - What can I do if my mental health is suffering? - How does menopause affect sex drive and urinary incontinence? - Why am I gaining weight, and how can I stop it? Plus, we addressed even more audience questions, diving deep into every aspect of this life transition. We cover it all—so tune in to listen, learn, and even share a laugh on the next episode of *Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo*.Episode supported by Always Discreet (@AlwaysDiscreet (https://www.instagram.com/alwaysdiscreet/?hl=en) on Instagram)! Click here for your Always Discreet coupon: https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb (https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKb)Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo (https://www.instagram.com/melissagrelo/?hl=en) and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG (https://www.instagram.com/agingpowerfullywithmg/?hl=en), or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com (https://www.agingpowerfullywithmelissagrelo.com/).
