The Gut Health Supplements I Take
Every Single Day
Your gut does far more than digest your food. It regulates your hormones, influences your mood, and shapes how your body handles the estrogen decline of menopause. These are the products I personally use to support my gut, and the ones I recommend to every woman I work with who is dealing with bloating, digestive issues, or hormonal symptoms they cannot quite explain.

Why Gut Health Is the Starting Point
I spent years treating my gut symptoms separately from my hormonal symptoms. What I eventually learned is that they are the same conversation. Your gut contains the estrobolome, a collection of bacteria that directly regulates how your body metabolizes estrogen. When that system is disrupted, everything else gets harder. The hot flashes become more frequent. The mood shifts get louder. The belly that will not budge stays. Supporting your gut is not a bonus step. For most women I work with, it is where the real shift begins.
The Core Three | What I Take Daily | Gut Health Protocol
Three products that work
as a complete system
These three products are what I reach for every single day. They are not interchangeable and they are not optional add-ons. They each do a specific job, and together they cover the full picture of gut health support during menopause.
PB Restore
Whole-Body ProBiome Complex
I tried probiotics for years and felt nothing. The reason is that most probiotics do not survive your stomach acid long enough to reach your intestines. PB Restore uses a dual-chamber, time-released delivery system that protects the bacteria all the way through. It contains 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics plus bacteriophages, with 18 billion CFUs across 24 active cultures from 22 different species. It is the most comprehensive probiotic formulation I have found, and the first one that made a noticeable difference for my IBS symptoms within two weeks.
- Dual-chamber delivery protects bacteria from stomach acid
- 30 pre-, pro-, and postbiotics plus bacteriophages
- Supports all 7 body microbiomes, not just the gut
- Directly supports estrogen metabolism through the estrobolome
- 18 billion CFUs, 22 strains for exceptional microbial diversity
TerraZyme
Digestive Enzyme Complex
As we move into post-menopause, our bodies produce fewer digestive enzymes. This is one of the reasons bloating, heaviness after meals, and food sensitivities become more common and more frustrating. TerraZyme is a whole-food enzyme complex that supports the breakdown of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber. When digestion is working properly, you absorb more of the nutrients from everything you eat, which matters enormously when you are trying to support your hormones through food.
- Supports breakdown of all major food groups
- Reduces bloating, gas, and heaviness after meals
- Improves nutrient absorption from food and supplements
- Particularly valuable in post-menopause when enzyme production slows
doTERRA Fiber
Whole Food Prebiotic Fiber
Most women are eating around 15 grams of fiber a day when the recommendation is 25. Fiber is what feeds the beneficial bacteria that PB Restore introduces. Without adequate fiber, a probiotic has nothing to work with. doTERRA Fiber is made from whole food sources, delivers 6 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber per serving, and includes a prebiotic blend that directly feeds the estrobolome bacteria responsible for your estrogen regulation. One important note from personal experience: start at a quarter serving and build up over two to three weeks. Jumping straight to a full serving will remind you why gradually matters.
- Whole food fiber sources, nothing synthetic
- Includes prebiotic blend that feeds beneficial gut bacteria
- Directly supports the estrobolome and estrogen metabolism
- Works in sync with PB Restore as a complete system
Additional Support | When Your Stomach Needs More
When your gut needs
immediate support
The three core products build your gut health foundation over time. This is what I reach for on the days when my stomach needs more immediate relief.
Bloating, cramping, and digestive discomfort are some of the most common and most frustrating symptoms of menopause that nobody talks about. The combination of PB Restore, TerraZyme, and Fiber addresses the root cause. Tamer is what I use in the moment when things flare up.
Digestive Comfort
Tamer
Digestive Blend for Bloating and Discomfort
Tamer is a roller blend of ginger, peppermint, tarragon, fennel, caraway, coriander, and anise. I apply it directly to my stomach when I am bloated, crampy, or just uncomfortable after eating. It works quickly and it is one of those products I genuinely do not want to be without. Ginger and peppermint in particular are well-studied for their digestive support properties. For me, it is the fast-acting companion to the slower, foundational gut work the other three products do.
- Fast-acting relief for bloating, gas, and cramping
- Apply directly to the stomach as needed
- Ginger, peppermint, and fennel for digestive comfort
- Convenient roller bottle for home or travel
