Hello friends, and welcome to episode 588 of the juice box podcast.

0:06.2

I thought this was going to be the last variables episode.

0:09.5

I had a lot of examples sent in by listeners left, but some of them weren't feeling like

0:16.4

like they needed their own episode or were really variables, so Jenny and I were going

0:20.5

through them, and then it occurred to me how to finish up the list.

0:27.0

Is gluten one or no? No, I would not consider that a variable because quite honestly, gluten

1:35.5

leading into pain or stress because you haven't gone to the bathroom or is it really in

1:46.1

terms of things aren't digesting as well? So we have slowed digestion. I mean, that's

1:52.2

like a bunch of things that constipation could be causing that are then the impact on

1:59.7

blood sugar. Okay. But constipation, yeah. I don't think that's it's in and of itself

2:05.5
