Welcome to this episode of Menopause Conversations with my wonderful guest - a third time guest- Rebekah Brown -Founder of the co-creation community and brand that is MPowder and has a new product to share with us - Gut-Instinct a Naturopathic formulation that helps contribute to a normal digestion and keeping you gut fit - using some carefully selected botanicals - gifts from nature!
At times during a normal menstrual cycle women can experience more bloating, acid reflux and intolerances to foods. This can become more of an issue as we progress through the menopause stages with upto 60% of us having low grade intolerances to foods, drink and medicines we go through our busy lives and the transition.
I've spoken on numerous occasions how my own gut health suffered as a result of undiagnosed Histamine issues, Oestrogen dominance and stress and I have found I had to make lots of adjustments and considerations when it came to food any digestion. One thing that definitely helps me is knowing what I'm sensitive to and how to support my gut microbiota better. This episode is not about probiotics - this is about creating the right environment for our gut bacteria to thrive. So this episode is looking at the power of carminative blend that can help target bloating, digestive discomfort and regulating appetite.
Did you know that menopause impacts our metabolic rate and our gut microbiota?
It’s why so many of us become more sensitive to foods, with periodic bloating and discomfort after eating. Rather than reach for probiotics, this blend uses carminatives, bitters and demulcent herbs to keep your gut fit - and I this episode Rebekah does a great job of explaining what those are.
The heroines in this formulation are:
- ACTAZIN®, a patented botanical extract which has been shown to enhance digestion, including gluten
- Artichoke leaf, a traditional medicine superhero, known to target digestion, appetite management and blood sugar balance
- Ginger - Blended with the hardest working carminative herb ginger and the soothing - Marshmallow root, to keep our guts fit at every stage of menopause.
I was thrilled to try this new formulation as I am part of the MPowder co-creation community and already have the 'mood boost' supplement from the range on subscription (this IS NOT gifted) - go see episode 38 to hear more about that.
Having taken part in this process myself - I have been really impressed at how I am feeling - less bloated and not feeling so hungry and wanting to snack all the time.My gut motility and transition times have become more regular too - putting that in because constipation and diarrhoea can be symptoms that really affect people navigating hormonal fluctuations - even prior to the menopause transition.
