Summary

Our Modalities of Healing series continues with an important conversation about how gut health and the microbiome impact our overall well-being.

The digestive system is incredibly complex, and our gut health can influence several functions in the body and can be linked to many other ailments. That’s why when we look at healing from the inside out, healing our gut is a critical part of the conversation.

We’re talking to Dr. Asia Muhammad, an expert in the field of gut health and digestion. Dr. Asia values the power of lifestyle modifications to achieve optimal health. She uses evidence-based, science-based medicine to provide individualized attention to those in her practice.

As a naturopathic doctor, she utilizes nutrition, exercise, and supplementation through nutraceuticals, botanical medicine, and mind-body therapies such as hypnosis. She has a special interest in gastroenterology, mind-body medicine, and stress management, as increasing research demonstrates the role of stress in disease. She has received additional training in gastroenterology and mind-body therapies, including hypnosis, guided imagery, biofeedback, autogenic training, and progressive muscle relaxation.

Dr. Asia has a gift for making a complex topic such as gut health easy for us all to understand.

We Also Talk About…

  • The difference between naturopathic and conventional medicine, and how the two can work together.
  • What do we mean when we say “gut health” and why gut health is so important for everyone to understand and prioritize.
  • How common gut health-related ailments such as dysbiosis, leaky gut, IBS, Candida, and SIBO occur.
  • Simple daily practices anyone can implement to support their gut health.
  • How antibiotics impact gut health, and how to support your gut after taking antibiotics.
  • The importance of liver health, and why a healthy liver is important for a healthy microbiome.

Hello, I hope you're having a great day, a great week.

0:11.4

Every week I get on here and I say something like, thank you for tuning into Balance Black

0:14.9

Girl, et cetera, et cetera, and I really try not to repeat myself as much because I

0:19.5

realize I do tend to say the same things over and over.

0:23.1

As humans, we all say the same things over and over, but when you have a podcast and

0:27.0

when your words are recorded and shared and amplified, it's even more noticeable when

0:32.6

you say the same things over and over.

0:35.4

So I'm working on it.

0:36.6

I'm trying to incorporate new vocabulary into my life and maybe think of a new greeting

0:41.4

and, you know, new ways of being, but I don't know if that will be today.

So if you're new here, a welcome to Balance Black Girl, and if you're returning, a welcome

0:50.4

back to Balance Black Girl.

0:52.3

I started this podcast almost four years ago because, frankly, I am a wellness nerd.

0:57.4

I love learning about well-being and the different things that impact our well-being, learning

1:02.6

about science, learning about how our bodies work, and I wanted to learn those things from

1:07.0

other Black women because, though, I've loved listening to podcasts for a decade now,

1:12.2

a lot of the older wellness podcasts that I was listening to that were talking about

1:17.1

certain topics, just did not share enough perspectives from Black women experts and

1:22.6

many episodes later.
