Summary
We covered how to have good digestion and support detox in the last two episodes, so the natural next step is to dig deeper into understanding our gut health and how we can begin optimizing it. Digesting our food well is crucial for a healthy gut, so make sure you listen to that one too! I’ll be referencing it a bit throughout to tie it all together.
