Gut Health 101

AMANDA MONTALVO
About this episode

We covered how to have good digestion and support detox in the last two episodes, so the natural next step is to dig deeper into understanding our gut health and how we can begin optimizing it. Digesting our food well is crucial for a healthy gut, so make sure you listen to that one too! I’ll be referencing it a bit throughout to tie it all together. 

As always, this podcast episode is not medical advice. Please talk with your provider before making any changes to your nutrition, lifestyle, or supplements.

This episode covers:

  • Key functions of gut bacteria
  • What impacts our gut microbiome
  • The role of our immune system
  • What happens when things get out of balance
  • How you can start supporting your gut health today
