Gut Health for Women: Why Fatigue, Bloating, and Mood Swings Might Start in Your Gut
Are you feeling fatigued, moody, bloated—or just not quite yourself lately? You’re not alone. And it might be your gut trying to get your attention.
In this episode of The Natalie Tysdal Podcast, I open up about a deeply personal health crisis that became a turning point in my wellness journey (don't judge me for crying!). As a health journalist with over 30 years of experience interviewing doctors and wellness experts, I’ve learned that gut health plays a much bigger role in our energy, hormones, immunity, and mood than most of us realize—especially as women.
