Louise Digby explains why many women over 40 see only temporary or inconsistent results from “hormone balancing” diets, supplements, seed cycling, adaptogens or even HRT, and why the missing piece is often the order of support. She outlines how fluctuating oestrogen and progesterone, reduced insulin sensitivity, lower stress tolerance and slower recovery can make the body more reactive, but argues that starting with hormones directly can backfire if the wider system is unstable.

Louise Digby, a metabolism nutritionist, explains that frequent bloating, especially in women in their late thirties, forties and beyond, is common but not normal and is a clear signal that something in the body isn’t working optimally. She outlines why it often worsens in perimenopause and menopause: declining progesterone can slow gut motility, fluctuating oestrogen can affect gut bacteria and fluid balance, and a more impactful stress response can reduce digestion by lowering enzymes, stom...
