Summary

"A stressed out person often has a stressed out gut."

In this episode, I invited my good friend Marci Evans, MS, CEDRD-S. LDN, cPT to join me on Nutrition Matters Podcast to talk about gut health and the dangers of elimination diets.

Bloating, constipation, gas, and many other GI symptoms are often met with recommendations of elimination diets as the standard protocol and intervention for gut health. Many people in our society right now are removing entire food groups and/or common allergens in order to try to understand what is causing the digestive problems.

Many people with a long-standing chaotic relationship with food and many with eating disorders find that these protocols are causing more harm than good. There's so much to learn about gut health and it's a topic that science is only beginning to scratch the surface in understanding. Tune in to hear an in-depth conversation about how to have a healthy gut without letting that pursuit lead to you to yet another diet trap.
