About this episode

Episode Description:


If you're tired of dealing with bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings, or stubborn weight gain—this episode may be your turning point.

Health journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Anu Simh, gut health expert and author of Flourish from Within, to reveal how your gut microbiome could be the missing link in your wellness journey. You'll discover how simple, sustainable changes to your meals—and your mindset—can rebalance your gut, reduce inflammation, and help you feel truly good in your body again.

What You'll Learn:



     
  • Why many women overlook the gut's role in mood, cravings, and weight gain

  •  
  • How processed foods quietly disrupt gut health and immunity

  •  
  • The power of gut diversity—and how to build it without a complicated plan

  •  
  • Real-life food swaps for busy women and families (even picky eaters)

  •  
  • Why mindset and food culture matter more than rigid rules

Key Takeaways:



     
  • Gut Diversity Is Key: Restrictive diets and lack of variety damage your microbiome. A colorful, plant-rich plate helps your gut and your body thrive.

  •  
  • Processed Foods Are Sabotaging You: Ultra-processed foods spike cravings and disrupt your metabolism. Whole foods help restore balance.

  •  
  • Small Changes = Big Results: You don't have to do it all. Start by adding more fiber, color, and protein to your meals for one week—and see the difference.
