Your Gut and Hormones
In this Menopause Monday recording, we discuss interactions between the gut and hormones. Dr. Riedel explains the gut-estrogen connection, delves into the deleterious systemic effects of an imbalanced estrobolome, and offers general guidance for improving and supporting gut health in perimenopause and beyond.
Vaginal Estrogen
In this Menopause Monday recording, Dr. Riedel reviews the why, when and how of vaginal estrogen use.
Local vaginal estrogen reduces urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence; decreases UTI and yeast infections; lessens pain with intimacy; and even decreases risk of rectal cancer.
If you’re over 40, you should have local estrogen in your medicine cabinet!
