Emerging research continues to describe the very real connection between the health of the gut microbiome and many women's health conditions, like mental health disorders, hormone imbalances, chronic infections and chronic pain.

In practice, we make an effort to ask our patients about their gut health and take into consideration how it may affect their well-being or symptoms. We provide options on how to nourish the belly, as well as offer functional medicine testing to give us insight into an individual's gut and microbial function.

Read more about the fascinating connection between our gut, brain, hormones and pelvic health on our latest blog post. We discuss symptoms that you may find when your gut is out of balance and ways to nourish and maintain a healthy microbiome.

The gut microbiome refers to the vast and diverse community of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract.

Did you know that the menopause transition is classified into 3 different stages?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤍Perimenopause- the time period before menopause when menstrual cycles start to change due to hormonal fluctuations. It usually begins in the 40's and can last many years.
🤍Menopause- the period of time when a person has not had a menstrual cycle in 12 months. The average age is 51 years old.
🤍Postmenopause- the time after menopause.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many people may experience symptoms throughout each phase, with vasomotor symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats more prominent during perimenopause when hormones fluctuate, and symptoms of vaginal dryness and pain with s*x after menopause when estrogen levels have decreased.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both nonhormonal and hormonal therapies can be beneficial at each stage. Some research even suggests that starting treatment early in the menopausal transition can lead to better outcomes of symptoms and quality of life.

"You are not required to justify your existence on Earth through constant improvement. You are not a Fortune 500 company. You don't have to show increasing profits. You don't have to earn your right to be here by putting yourself to higher and higher standards. You just get to be here. You belong here. You are loved." -Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Cheers to 2022 whether you have resolutions or not💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
