Verb Biotics to Host Prof. Siobhain O'Mahony at SupplySide Global: Exploring the Gut-Brain-Hormone Axis in Menopause

BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Verb Biotics today announced that renowned neurobiologist and women's health expert Professor Siobhain O'Mahony will headline this year's Verb LABS^™ event at SupplySide Global 2025 in Las Vegas. The session, titled "Menopause, Microbes, and the Mind: The Neurobiology of Hormonal Change," will take place October 29, 2025, from 9am – 10am.

Prof. Siobhain O'Mahony, professor of neurobiology and women's health at University College Cork will explore how hormonal changes reshape the gut microbiome, alter neurotransmitter production, and influence metabolic and immune function, revealing menopause as a complex, whole-body transition that calls for an integrated view of women's health.

This event is part of Verb LABS, a platform by Verb Biotics for health and wellness industry leaders to explore advances in microbiome science and technologies that drive "feel the effect" solutions.

Professor O'Mahony will explore:

• An Updated Paradigm for Menopause
• The Gut-Brain-Hormone Axis
• Science-Based Interventions

"Menopause isn't just a reproductive transition - it's a whole-body event," said Prof. O'Mahony. "Understanding the interplay between hormones, microbes, and the nervous system is critical for creating smarter, science-based approaches to women's health."

As awareness grows around the complexity of hormonal change, there is an urgent need for accessible, clinically substantiated solutions that support women's wellbeing across every life stage—from the menstrual cycle through to perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Research-driven approaches that address the gut-brain-hormone connection are key to helping women navigate these transitions with clarity and true beneficial effect.

At Verb Biotics, it's our mission to contribute evidence-based, microbiome-centered solutions that improve how women feel, function, and thrive, at every phase of life. "We're thrilled to welcome Professor O'Mahony to SupplySide Global," said Diane Alexander, VP of Sales at Verb Biotics. "Her deep expertise offers supplement brands the scientific insights they need to better serve women. This session is about helping our partners translate cutting-edge research into meaningful, market-ready solutions for women's health."
