When Menopause Meets Autoimmune Gut Disease
An integrated, root-cause approach for women tired of treating hormones and digestion as separate battles
When Menopause Meets Autoimmune Gut Disease
An integrated, root-cause approach for women tired of treating hormones and digestion as separate battles
You're Living a Double Reality
Your gynecologist manages your hot flashes. Your gastroenterologist treats your gut inflammation.
Nobody connects the dots between them.
Night sweats trigger digestive flares. Hormonal shifts worsen intestinal permeability. But conventional medicine keeps these conditions in separate silos.
You shuttle between specialists who never talk to each other. Meanwhile, symptoms compound.
By the Numbers: The Connection Is Real
Research confirms what you've been experiencing. These conditions aren't coincidentally overlapping.
Studies reveal how hormonal changes directly impact digestive immune function during midlife transitions.

What You're Really Experiencing
Compounding Symptoms
Hot flashes and gut pain arrive together. You can't tell where one condition ends and another begins.
Medication Conflicts
Hormone therapy affects inflammation. Immunosuppressants impact hormone metabolism. Nobody coordinates your treatment.
Social Isolation
Restaurant meals feel like Russian roulette. Social events mean bathroom mapping. You're withdrawing from life.
Energy Depletion
Both conditions drain you. Together, they create exhaustion that feels insurmountable.
An Integrated Approach That Honors Both Systems
Estrogen and Gut Health: Learn how changes in estrogen levels can affect your gut's ability to function properly. Also, understand how stress hormones can impact both your gut and hormone health.
Healing Gut Barriers: Focus on repairing the gut when hormonal changes disrupt it. Strengthen your immune system without using harsh medications.
Support Beneficial Bacteria: Encourage the growth of good bacteria that help process hormones effectively, aiding in gut healing.
Protecting Digestion: Find ways to safeguard your gut from stress hormones like cortisol, helping to keep hormone levels stable during tough times.
Tailored Strategies: Develop a personal plan that addresses your specific autoimmune challenges, allowing for comprehensive support through various life changes.
