Does your stomach balloon after meals, sometimes so much it looks like you’re pregnant? You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone! In this episode of Empowered Perimenopause, I unpack why bloating becomes more common in our 40s, how shifting hormones affect gut health, and the hidden role of stomach acid and digestive enzymes.

You’ll learn:

• Why perimenopause hormones impact your gut lining
• The difference between bloating straight after meals vs. an hour later
• Practical ways to strengthen your digestion and reduce discomfort
• Supplements and food-based strategies to support your gut lining

If you’re tired of cutting more foods out and still feeling bloated, this episode will help you take a different approach, one that’s about supporting your gut, not blaming your lunch.
