About this listen

 In this episode of Just As Well, gut health expert Dr Megan Rossi joins Gemma Atkinson and Claire Sanderson for an in-depth conversation about the gut microbiome - and how it affects everything from mood swings to menopause. Megan shares how a personal tragedy led her to study the gut, why she once hated it, and what changed her mind. She explains the life stages where the gut plays a crucial role - from infancy to puberty, pregnancy, perimenopause and beyond - and breaks down the science in a way that’s smart and totally accessible. You’ll learn: The difference between probiotics and prebiotics What the “Super Six” food groups are and why they’re vital for gut diversity How your gut health impacts mental health, sleep, hormones, and even taste preferences Why feeding your microbes properly could reduce perimenopausal symptoms — and improve mood and immunity at any age Learn more about your ad choices.
