If digestion feels different than it used to — foods sitting heavier, more bloating, stronger reactions to stress, or less tolerance for certain fibers — this episode helps explain why.
This episode explores how gut health has always been shaped by your genes, and why those patterns often become more apparent after 45 as hormonal, microbial, and digestive supports shift.
You’ll learn how:
Gut health is influenced by genetics
Hormonal changes affect motility, microbiome balance, and digestive comfort
The microbiome becomes more sensitive to stress, sleep, and medications after 45
Key genes like FUT2, BCMO1, and ADRB2 shape food tolerance, gut lining support, and stress-related digestion
Simple, biology-aligned strategies can support digestion without extremes or restriction
This episode is especially helpful if you’ve noticed bloating, slower digestion, food sensitivities, stress-related gut symptoms, mixed results from probiotics after 45. Or maybe some of these patterns have always been present but feel harder to ignore now.
A short guide explaining how estrogen is processed after it’s used, why hormone levels don’t always tell the full story, and how genetics may help explain another layer of estrogen biology.
