In this episode, I've been talking in a couple of episodes recently about the importance of gut health. I did one a few weeks ago, all about IBS and the real warning signs that can come with that.

We run a lot of stool testing inside of our clinic. When we talk about different testing to run, in an ideal scenario, you would have comprehensive, complete blood work that is done. What this does provide you an opportunity from a serum level perspective in your blood to understand in this snapshot in time and what's been going on in your health that's been building up to a lot of your symptoms that you have going on, what is potentially contributing to that. So blood is always going to be the best.

When we're looking at thyroid markers and full hematology panel, your differentials getting a better understanding of what is going on with iron. Although for true iron pictures, you have to look at what's going on in the gut.

We're going to talk about that today.

Let’s dive in!

Today is actually an impromptu recording. I had another episode that was going to go live this week, but I just came out of being a guest expert inside one of my colleagues workshops that she was hosting. And I feel so riled up based on a lot of the questions and the concerns, the shares and honestly, the confusion that so many of the women had inside of this.

We talked a lot today about perimenopause, around a lot of the confusion, thinking that your period has to change in order for perimenopause to even be something that has started to think that you have to have every single symptom under the sun in order to be in perimenopause.

Believing the statistics that when we hear the average woman is 51 years old when she goes through menopause, that that means that you're only going to be around 50 when you go into perimenopause, because it only takes a year. I sat there and thought to myself, isn't it so wild how we live in a time right now where we have access to thousands of podcasts? I'm not the first one that you have listened to, and I definitely won't be the last one.

We have access to hundreds of thousands of YouTube channels that we could tune into.

We have Instagram.

People were following Snap and TikTok and Facebook and blogs and email and you name it. And yet still we are confused, we are frustrated, and we are overwhelmed when it comes to understanding our own body.

Let’s dive in!
