episode 26 show notes

I’m excited to be back with part 2 of our 2 part episode series on gut health! In case you missed part 1, make sure to check out last week’s episode all about the gut and digestive process, signs of poor gut health, the gut brain connection, how it affects your immune system, common gut health issues we see in our practice, and more! 

For this episode, I’m diving into some of the major reasons WHY people experience poor gut health. We’re diving into how antibiotics affect your gut, birth control, your diet, stress, toxicity and more. I’m also sharing some very easy to incorporate gut-healing strategies you can begin doing right away to improve your digestion, and answering some FAQs from my Instagram community.

These episodes were LONG overdue for me to cover, because gut health is definitely one of my favorite topics to deep dive into. I hope you found this information helpful, and feel more confident when it comes to optimizing your gut health in your everyday life!

in this episode, gut health 101: part 2, I cover:  

  • The high sugar, low fiber diet, or what I like to call “the 90s kid diet” + its impact on us and our gut health {3:20}
  • The benefits of short-chain fatty acids, aka SCFAs + what can enhance the production of these {5:51}
  • IG question: “Why do certain foods tend to make you have mood swings?” {7:03}
  • How chronic stress can affect gut health and lead to increased inflammation {9:04}
  • What really happens when you regularly take antibiotics {12:32}
  • How a sluggish liver and gallbladder play a pivotal role in overall gut health {15:24}
  • The toxicity from heavy metals on your gut health over time {18:39}
  • The connection between your oral microbiome and your gut {23:46}
  • The significant impact of birth control {25:17}
  • Your diet’s role in maintaining a healthy gut + a variety of food ideas to integrate into your diet {31:02}
  • Gut-healing strategies that you can incorporate into your everyday life and positively impact your metabolism {39:34}
  • Answering questions received from my Instagram community {49:06}

I specialize in taking a root-cause approach to understand your body from the inside out using nutrition and functional lab data, while embracing holistic and alternative approaches to wellness I’m not stranger to feeling desperate for solutions to fix your health symptoms yet only be told, “your labs look great” and “nothing’s wrong”. I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues and went to countless of doctors and health practitioners only to be offered birth control or a prescription medication for my acne. 

I said “no thanks!” and dove deep into the science and research. Now I am healthier, more vibrant and feel more balanced in my 30’s than I was 10 years ago, and I truly have functional medicine to thank for that! Ever since, my team and I have helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more
