246: The Missing Link Between Menopause, Marriage & Your Microbiome - Cynthia Thurlow
About this episode
Every woman will go through menopause. Every partner, spouse, child, and close friend will feel it too. And almost none of them will understand what is actually happening — or why the standard medical response of "just add hormones" so often falls short.
Cynthia Thurlow joins Stay Off My Operating Table to explain why so many women hit midlife feeling like their bodies suddenly stopped cooperating, despite doing “all the right things.”
This conversation connects gut health to hormones, inflammation, and aging in a way that removes shame, self-blame, and confusion, and replaces it with clarity and relief.
