My personal journey
Emma Cannings (THERA Nordic co-founder)
For the last year or so I have noticed my own gut issues change as well as watched many of my friends suffering with the symptoms of perimenopause.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence to show that many of the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can be improved through better gut health. Here we'll look at the THERA Nordic products that have really helped me, and I believe could really help other women too.
Optimized Enzymes
Boosting your digestion to avoid bloating & gas
During the menopause your digestive enzyme levels can reduce leading to poor digestion.
If you suffer from bloating & gas it's important that you avoid the trigger foods and try regular aerobic exercise such as yoga, pelvic floor exercises and abdominal massage.
Taking Optimized Enzymes to boost your reduced digestive enzymes can really help the process.
Triple HCL
Supercharge your stomach HCL
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) has a very clear connection to perimenopause and menopause
Fluctuating oestrogen levels can alter the amount of acid your stomach produces. If your stomach acid levels are too low, this can lead to heartburn, acid reflux (which can be a sign of GERD) and more general digestive issues such as IBS. Triple HCL is a great way to boost your stomach's HCL levels
Daily Health Bowel
Pre-biotic fibre to tackle constipation, bloating & gas
Higher estrogen levels can increase cortisol, potentially leading to constipation, bloating, and gas
Elevated progesterone levels may further exacerbate constipation. Doubling your fibre intake, including supplementing with a high quality prebiotic fibre can really help to address these symptoms.
Move
Eliminate constipation naturally
The higher estrogen levels and elevated progesterone can lead to constipation.
Optimized Enzymes, Triple Digest and Daily Health Bowel are great to help prevent you get constipated in the first place.
But Move is a great product to have in your cupboard for when you do need some fast relief.
REZCUE
Restore and protect your gut lining
Research suggests that low oestrogen and dysbiosis can lead to increased ‘leaky gut’.
Leaky gut allows potentially harmful chemicals and bacteria into your bloodstream. REZCUE has been shown to be highly effective at treat leaky gut.
