The Menopause Gut: What No One Is Telling Women About Aging with Cynthia Thurlow, NP
About this episode
Dr. Anthony Youn and Cynthia Thurlow discuss the often-overlooked connection between menopause and gut health.
In this episode, I sit down with Cynthia Thurlow to unpack a piece of menopause that almost no one is talking about, the gut. We often hear about hormones during perimenopause and menopause, but what happens when the real issue goes deeper? Cynthia shares her personal story, including a serious gut health crisis that nearly led to unnecessary surgery, and how it reshaped the way she approaches women’s health. We break down the microbiome, the gut-ovary connection, and how shifts in estrogen and progesterone impact everything from digestion to immunity. We also get into why foods you used to tolerate suddenly don’t work anymore, what “leaky gut” really means, and how inflammation plays a role in midlife changes. 🔗 Links and Resources (Provided by Dr. Youn): I know you’ll love the BON CHARGE Red Light Face Mask as much as I do… order yours today at boncharge.com and use my exclusive promo code DRYOUN at checkout.
