Menopause is something that will affect most of us lucky ladies at some point. So many women battle with hormone havoc.
The microbiome in the gut will fluctuate during the menopause.
There are natural remedies to support the gut and techniques to help you
get through menopause naturally.
Menopause can begin anytime in a woman’s life (normally after thirty-five years), but usually, the symptoms appear around fifty and last approximately two to five years.

Oestrogen receptors are found in the bladder, breasts, arteries, heart, liver, bones, vagina, brain, and skin.
