From their shared love of oversized Stanley bottles to the science behind why drinking more water can actually reduce bloating, this episode unpacks the powerful (yet often overlooked) links between fluid intake, estrogen, histamine, and digestive symptoms. Mikki explains how perimenopausal shifts in estrogen and progesterone affect digestion, fluid retention, and inflammation—and what practical steps you can take to feel better without immediately jumping to HRT. If you’ve ever felt puffy, bloated, or just “off” and aren’t sure why, this episode is a must-listen.HighlightsWhy a bigger drink bottle really does help you stay hydratedThe connection between dehydration, plasma volume, and fatigueEstrogen’s role in fluid retention, histamine release, and bloatingHow hydration and dietary changes can support gut function during perimenopausePractical tips for experimenting with diet (like reducing gluten, dairy, or FODMAPs)
