Are your 40s hitting differently? Many women with IBD, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn’s disease notice their symptoms shift as they move into perimenopause and menopause. Fatigue feels heavier, flare-ups seem harder to predict, and balancing mood and energy becomes a challenge.
In this episode of Gut Fix – Say Goodbye to IBD, Naturally, Wendy Handy, FDN-P and health coach, breaks down the powerful connection between hormonal changes and gut health. You’ll learn:
How estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones affect inflammation and digestion
Why perimenopause and menopause can trigger IBD flare-ups, fatigue, and brain fog
The top signs your hormones and gut are out of balance
Natural strategies to support both your hormones and digestive health—from diet to stress reduction to functional testing
Your 40s don’t have to mean feeling powerless. When you understand the link between your hormones and gut, you can finally create a plan that restores balance, energy, and confidence.
Stay happy, stay healthy!
