It’s no secret that as we age things change with our nutritional needs and wants. Many women, including myself, have talked about not eating as much food, avoiding certain foods that may cause bloating or gas and a change sometimes in (yes we must talk about it) our bowel movements. The changes in our digestion and our appearance is often affected by our hormone production. Our hormones influence the look of our skin and hair, our metabolism, our ability to sleep well and focus. Hormones control our appetite and stimulate metabolism, it optimizes our digestion and helps to reduce inflammation.
