There are several ways our microbiome directly impacts our hormones and health. Microbiologist and Microbiome expert, Kiran Krishan, joined me today to break down several of the ways our microbiome affects hormones and symptoms we may experience all over the body.

The relationship between the microbiome and hormones is fascinating, particularly in midlife as our hormones are changing.

It turns out improving our microbiome is one way to improve how we experience perimenopause and the transition to menopause. Our microbiome impacts our metabolism, brain, mood, digestion, immune function, and common symptoms like weight gain, hot flashes, memory issues, anxiety, joint pain, and more. (And the microbiome is one of the things we focus on at The Midlife Hormone Club).
