Episode How the Gut Microbiome Changed My Life - and Could Change Yours | Megan Rossi
In this episode of Just As Well, gut health expert Dr Megan Rossi joins Gemma Atkinson and Claire Sanderson for an in-depth conversation about the gut microbiome - and how it affects everything from mood swings to menopause.
Megan shares how a personal tragedy led her to study the gut, why she once hated it, and what changed her mind. She explains the life stages where the gut plays a crucial role - from infancy to puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause and beyond - and breaks down the science in a way that’s smart and totally accessible.
You’ll learn:
•
The difference between probiotics and prebiotics
•
What the “Super Six” food groups are and why they’re vital for gut diversity
•
How your gut health impacts mental health, sleep, hormones, and even taste preferences
•
Why feeding your microbes properly could reduce perimenopausal symptoms — and improve mood and immunity at any age
