Episode Summary

Hot flashes, brain fog, hair loss, memory, weight gain, muscle aches and fatigue are all stuff women go through during menopause, or anytime their hormones are out of balance. While most docs simply prescribe a pill (or patch), Dr. Nigma Talib also understands and focuses on the important impact your gut has on your hormones and how you’re feeling. The gut-hormone connection is often the piece women (and doctors) are missing to start feeling fantastic again. Dr. Tailb is a researcher, author, speaker, clinician and amazing entrepreneur who I’m excited to talk to today.
