Hey guys, welcome back to The Digest This Podcast. I'm your host, Bethany Cameron, and today is a solo episode, so you just get me. And I wanted to talk about, in case you didn't know from the title, the foods that I used to eat before I got really sick and my gut health just went down the

tank. And I'm going to share things, again, that I ate. And the reason why I ate them and I was

basically deceived, just like so many Americans thought I was eating healthy, thought I was choosing the right things.

So I want to share what brands, what specific things I was eating, how I felt afterwards,

and what really changed in that like aha moment.

So I feel like a lot of people can probably relate. I know most of my

listeners are very well educated already. You guys are smart people. You know what to put in your

body and whatnot too. And so if you don't get anything out of this episode, which I'm sure you still will, I think it's just

really enlightening and possibly something or an episode that you can share with someone else

that you've been trying to get through forever. They're just not listening to you.

Sometimes sharing an episode with that person is how you can get across to them,

speaking from experience. Like, I will do, I'll send stuff to, like, my parents. And it's coming

from someone else. And then they'll listen versus me telling them directly. Like, they just

don't listen.

I don't know if anyone can relate, but I feel like I can't get through to the people

close to my life.

But then if I send them someone else's real or podcast, they'll listen and they'll be like,

oh, yeah, we should like make the change.

So all that to say, let's get right into the episode.

If you're buying quality food and ingredients like grass-fed meat and organic produce,

but still cooking with pots and pans containing forever chemicals,

then all your efforts to clean eating kind of just went out the window.
