Hi there

I was wondering whether there has been any research into whether gut bacteria plays a role in menstruation and the menopause?

Yes! I was hoping there might be a mention in the book of the effects of the menopause, if any, on the microbiome. I was slim all my life until the menopause and then bam! I realise hormones play a big part but yes, I’d love to know the effects on the bacteria or the shifts of bacteria . Another study well worth doing Dr Mosley……
