Have you been wondering, “Why am I so bloated all the time?” If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone. Hormonal changes can affect digestion, gut motility, stress, and fluid balance, making bloating, constipation, gas, and digestive discomfort more noticeable.
In this episode of Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health, Dr. Rekishia McMillan explores the connection between hormonal changes and bloating in women and why your body may respond differently during this season of life.
You'll discover four common contributors to bloating: what you're eating, how you're eating, stress and the gut-brain connection, and hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Rekishia also explains the connection between hormones, digestion, bile, the gallbladder, and kidneys.
As part of the God's Medicine Cabinet™ series, Dr. Rekishia highlights ginger, an ancient medicinal food used for centuries to support digestion. You'll learn about gingerols and shogaols and what modern research suggests about ginger's potential effects on gastric motility, gastric emptying, nausea, fullness, and digestive discomfort.
If you're looking for natural ways to support digestion, reduce bloating, and better understand your changing body, this episode provides practical, science-informed and faith-centered strategies you can begin today.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why bloating can increase during perimenopause and menopause
- How estrogen and progesterone changes can affect digestion
- The connection between hormones, gut health, bile, and fluid balance
- Why what you eat and how you eat both matter
