Gut Health for Women

Why Your Digestion Changes With Your Cycle, Your Hormones, and Your Life Stage, and What Helps

Gut Health

Your gut has a calendar too, and almost nothing written about digestion takes account of it.

Symptoms that arrive in the days before a period. Digestion that behaves differently in pregnancy, after birth, and again in perimenopause. A pattern most women recognise immediately and most gut health advice ignores completely.

This book takes the reproductive and digestive systems as the connected things they are. What actually changes across a cycle and why, what shifts at each life stage, and which symptoms follow hormones rather than food.

It opens with a chapter called Before Somebody Blames Your Hormones, because the opposite failure is just as common. Being told it is hormonal is how a great many women have had real conditions overlooked, and knowing the difference is the point of the book.

Practical throughout, specific about what helps at each stage, and clear about what should be investigated rather than accommodated.

Book Seven of The Gut Health Series. Written for the pattern women already notice and rarely see explained.

About the author

Anjali Rao

Gut Health Guide

Anjali Rao spent most of her twenties and thirties planning her life around her digestive system — where the toilets were, what she could risk eating, whether she'd be able to sit through a meeting. She tried elimination diets, expensive supplements, and every protocol the internet promised would fix her.
