Bloating is incredibly common - and while some of it is completely normal, for many people, it can start to feel unpredictable, persistent and disruptive to daily life. It may even worsen during the second half of the menstrual cycle (aka the luteal phase), when rising and falling levels of progesterone and estrogen slow digestion and increase gut sensitivity.
In this episode, we’re talking about the many causes of bloating (spoiler: it’s more than just food), why it tends to fluctuate across different phases of your cycle, and what to do when it starts getting in the way of how you feel, function, or move through your day.
You’ll leave this episode with a better understanding of your body and practical ways to start identifying patterns and reducing discomfort, without over-restricting or falling into food fear.If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear it; leave a rating and review!
