Brigid Titgemeier explains how perimenopause and menopause reduce nutrient absorption due to gut microbiome changes. Her 12-week program "My Food Is Health" includes an organic acids test that generates a 12-page report linking deficiencies to symptoms, then provides a personalized nutrition plan with dietitian support.

as you transition into perimenopause and menopause, your absorption of certain nutrients can actually go down. Some of this is because of changes that are happening in the gut microbiome that researchers have been able to identify, knowing that we need a healthy gut in order to actually absorb our nutrients. The best way to know whether you have nutrient deficiencies is truly to test and not guess and understand what this means in context to your own health history and your goals. We do run these tests in my virtual 12-week program, My Food Is Health. We run an organic acids test that compiles 12 pages of results to uncover your nutrient deficiencies and then help you connect those with symptoms that you're experiencing and establish a personalized plan with specific nutrition and supplement recommendations, in addition to troubleshooting with your dietitian throughout the 12 weeks. If you're interested in joining us for the upcoming round of My Food Is Health and you're sick of putting these puzzle pieces together for yourself and you want to better understand what these nutrient deficiencies mean for you, you can go to beingbridget.com/my-food-is-health.
