If menopause symptoms feel unpredictable, disconnected, or impossible to manage, this episode explains why. Most women are told menopause is about declining estrogen. What they are rarely told is how gut health directly influences how menopause symptoms show up, including hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, sleep disruption, inflammation, and stubborn weight changes. In this episode of The Mr. Menopause Show, certified and award winning menopause and healthy aging strategist Tafiq Akhir breaks down the overlooked role of the gut in menopause wellness. You will learn how estrogen is metabolized through the digestive system, why gut imbalance can intensify symptoms, and why treating symptoms one by one often fails. This conversation goes beyond bloating and digestion. It connects the gut to emotional health, cognitive clarity, metabolic changes, and inflammation during menopause, helping you understand why symptoms feel connected even when they are treated separately. Inside this episode, you will learn: How the gut influences estrogen metabolism during menopause Why gut imbalance can worsen brain fog, anxiety, and mood swings The hidden inflammation link behind many menopause symptoms How food, stress, sleep, and movement affect gut health in midlife Simple daily habits that support gut health without extreme diets 👉 Watch the related episode on mental and emotional health during menopause: • https://youtu.be/_5bjYHX2lR4?si=_3ZZ96GLe8dN17RQ If this episode helped you connect the dots, there is also a deeper resource available. 📘 Decoding the 80 Symptoms & Side Effects of Menopause If you are tuning before January 12, pre order your copy now.
