When I talk about a supported gut for women over 60, I’m not talking about perfection or supplements alone. I’m talking about daily basics that help digestion work the way it’s meant to.

A supported gut looks like:
• Eating regular meals to support blood sugar and digestion
• Getting enough protein and fiber to maintain muscle and gut lining health
• Including whole, minimally processed foods most of the time
• Staying hydrated to support motility and nutrient absorption
• Supporting the nervous system with rest and manageable stress
• Paying attention to symptoms instead of pushing through them

When the gut is supported this way, women tend to feel stronger, more energized, and more stable as they age - inside and out.

Meals like this are about more than food.

They’re about presence, connection, and taking a moment to be where you are.

Those things nourish us just as deeply.

I don’t usually let people get away with blaming everything on age.

Yes, some changes are part of getting older. But feeling constantly exhausted, foggy after meals, or crashing throughout the day is often a sign of an unsupported gut, not aging itself.

Age brings change.
Neglect brings symptoms.
There’s an important difference.

New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer. Faced with ongoing metabolic stress, these cells abandon their normal roles and revert to a...
