About this episode

It's a UW Radio flashback to April 10, 2010!

Here's what we talked about: 

 

10:05 What Dr. Lipski does all day and how she got so interested in digestion even though she didn’t mean to!

 

 

13:52 The role of the standard American diet in our digestive troubles and the one concept that’s really missing from the food pyramid. 

 

 

18:58 What to look for—and what to do—when your kids tell you their tummy hurts.

37:05 What to look for in stool testing results, and what we can do if our gut bacteria aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do (or are missing completely)!

 

 

44:39 The constipation/cancer connection: why it’s time to embrace the fact that everybody poops. 

 

 

48:55 Is it too much stomach acid or not enough? How to test the “strength" of your stomach and why it’s so important for your health. 

 

 

56:31 All about digestion and autoimmune disease, and exactly what you should eliminate from your diet to feel better. 

 

 

1:02:50 What your mood and your mind have to do with your gut, and what you can do to for a healthier and happier digestive system.
