How Menopause Changes Your Gut Health with a Leading Gastroenterologist
In this episode of unPAUSED, recorded on location at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Dr. Mary Claire Haver sits down with Dr. Trisha Pasricha, a neurogastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and author of the new book You've Been Pooping All Wrong. Women in perimenopause and menopause who describe bloating, new constipation, or digestion that suddenly feels unfamiliar are often told it is stress or age. This conversation explains the biology behind gut health in midlife, starting with the estrogen receptors inside the gut's nervous system.
