Menopausa e stress: cosa succede a cervello e intestino

🔎 Visit https://www.robertacolino.com ---------------------- Stress doesn't just affect the mind: it also affects the gut. During menopause, this balance becomes more fragile, also due to fluctuations in cortisol, the emergency hormone. In this episode, we explore the connection between stress, the gut, and the brain (gut-brain axis). And in particular, how crucial the role of the microbiota is in regulating mood, sleep, and inflammation. We discuss how chronically elevated cortisol can alter intestinal permeability, modify the microbiota, and increase nighttime awakenings and hot flashes. We conclude with a focus on some often overlooked daily choices, such as alcohol, coffee, and salt, which can affect cortisol, disrupt sleep, and keep the body in a constant state of alert. ---------------------- 00:00 Introduction: Menopause and Stress 00:48 Causes of Stress During Menopause 01:58 Real Stress vs. Perceived Stress 03:07 A Woman's Body Under Stress 03:43 Cortisol: The Emergency Hormone 04:25 Effects of Stress on the Brain 05:27 Abdominal Bloating 05:56 The Vagus Nerve 06:21 Menopause, Stress, and Gut Microbiota 07:29 Nutrition Tips 07:40 Salt 08:40 Coffee 10:02 Alcohol 11:24 Conclusion ---------------------- 🆕 Newsletter https://www.robertacolino.com/newslet... 🎙 Podcast: https://www.open.spotify.com/show/5BB...
