Summary
Kat welcomes Crystal Lunenschloss MS, RDN, LDN, CEDS-C back to the podcast for a conversation about digestion and some of the trends impacting it today. They explore the resurgence of laxatives and discuss why they can do more harm than good. Crystal breaks down the truth about supplements—why overloading on them often just results in wasted nutrients, and how diet teas may dehydrate your body, making digestion even more difficult. They also highlight the importance of staying hydrated and why flashy supplement packaging can sometimes mislead people into thinking they'll live longer by taking unnecessary products.
