Ep.44 - Gut Check: Why Your Microbiome Is the Missing Link to Women's Energy, Hormones & Longevity
Fri Nov 07 2025
Your gut isn’t just about digestion — it’s one of the most powerful, misunderstood control centers of your entire body. In this episode of The Forever Young Show, we sit down with microbiome expert and VP of Product Development, Lisa Barnes, to unpack the science of gut health in a way every woman can understand.
We talk about:
Why 70% of your immune system, hormones, mood, metabolism, skin, and longevity are connected to your gut
How your microbiome changes in your 30s, 40s, and 50s (perimenopause, stress, kids, aging — all of it)
The difference between prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics
Why “just drink greens” or “do a detox” isn’t enough to fix your gut
How to support your body’s own peptides and healing pathways naturally — not just supplement symptoms
The truth about kombucha, greens powders, trendy ingredients like Akkermansia, and why your body is still the real hero
This is not a fad diet or supplement hype episode. This is real, science-backed, woman-focused education — told like you’re talking with your best friend on a walk.
Freedom of mind. Freedom of body. Freedom of money and time.
It all starts with a healthy gut.
