Dr. Iris Wang of the Mayo Clinic shares cutting-edge insights on gut health across the lifespan, including advancements in pharmacogenomics for personalized medication selection and innovative breathing techniques to relieve abdominal distension. She busts common myths about bloating, revealing how diaphragmatic dysfunction rather than excess gas may be the culprit. Dr. Wang also emphasizes the importance of starting gut health education early, helping kids and parents alike understand that pooping shouldn't be painful or forced. • How pharmacogenomics helps identify why some patients metabolize medications differently, leading to better medication choices with exploration on the hope and/or hype of precision medicine in the GI world (Wang et al 2019)• Explanation of abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia (APD) – when the diaphragm moves downward instead of upward, causing visible abdominal distention• Specialized breathing technique developed in Barcelona that retrain the diaphragm for bloating relief (Barba E et al 2024) - see video link below• The importance of normalizing healthy pooping habits from childhood through education & tools like toileting stools (e.g. Squatty Potty)• Warning signs for parents about childhood constipation – including stool leakage, straining, & urinary problems (Tran DL et al 2023)• How yoga can support gut health through mindful movement, core engagement, & stress reductionYoga videos:Yoga For Digestion Flow| Yoga With Adriene (26 mins)Yoga for Bloating, Digestion, Ulcerative Colitis, IBD & IBS (12 mins)Check out Dr. Wang's children's book Boo Can't Poo, which helps normalize healthy pooping habits for kids while educating parents too.References:Wang XJ, Camilleri M.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Anyone else notice how much noise there has been recently about carbohydrates and protein? Protein has to be in everything. I literally just got an email this morning from a company that is now making protein granola.
Holaaa :)En este ultimo episodio de la temporada hablamos de uno de los temas más frecuentes (y mal entendidos) en la consulta médica: el uso de inhibidores de la bomba de protones (IBPs) como omeprazol, pantoprazol, esomeprazol asi como anti-H2 como famotidina de manera cronica y en muchos casos de problemas gastrointestinales como dispepsia o reflujo. Pero antes, os explicaré qué células producen el ácido, por qué lo necesitamos, y qué puede pasar cuando lo bloqueamos durante demasiado tiempo. También os contaré las causas detrás de síntomas como el reflujo, la dispepsia o la digestión pesada, y cuándo tiene sentido usar IBPs de forma puntual o más prolongada.Ademas, intentaré repasar con vosotros el algoritmo diagnóstico en distintos casos clínicos (reflujo, esofagitis, dispepsia funcional, esofagitis eosinofílica), y contaremos en qué situaciones pueden ayudar complementos alimenticios o ajustes del estilo de vida.Todo con una idea clara: no demonizar ni idealizar estos fármacos, sino entender bien cómo y cuándo usarlos.Ojala os guste y sobre todo os sirva mucho :)Para mas información ya sabéis que me tenéis en mi instagram @isabelvina dónde te comparto contenido diario Mi TikTok @isabelvinabasEn mi canal de YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dfdxLBcvfztBvRAKZSXGQY los suplementos formulados por mi https://ivbwellness.com
Send us a textDo you experience gas, bloating or indigestion? You may need to work on your kindling your digestive fire. In Ayurveda, we call this agni. A digestive fire that burns just right will make digestion more efficient and can have a positive impact on other body systems. In this episode, I delve into the importance of digestion and its impact on various aspects of health, including the nervous system, hormones, and immune function. I share five practical and cost-free tips to improve digestion: drinking warm or room temperature water, chewing food thoroughly, maintaining consistent daily meal times, being mindful around snacking, and eating in a relaxed state. Emphasizing the role of self-love and mindfulness, I encourage listeners to experiment with these practices and observe the benefits over time.In this episode: The Importance of Digestion in AyurvedaTip 1: Drink Warm or Room Temperature WaterTip 2: Chew Your Food ThoroughlyTip 3: Create Daily RhythmsTip 4: Be Mindful Around SnackingTip 5: Eat in a Relaxed StateMy resources:Weekend Nervous System Reset Deep Rest MeditationNourished For Resilience Workbook Book a free Exploratory CallFind me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram
In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine Krause explores the intricate relationship between weight gain and sexual health. She discusses how changes in body weight can affect circulation, confidence, and libido, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues holistically. Drawing from her experiences and insights from Chinese medicine, she highlights the role of digestion, stress, and lifestyle habits in weight management. The episode also offers practical solutions, including dietary adjustments and herbal remedies, to help listeners regain balance and improve their overall health. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Weight gain can impact sexual health and libido. Circulation changes with weight gain affect confidence. Chinese medicine offers insights into weight management. Damp accumulation in the body can lead to weight gain. Stress affects liver function and digestion. Eating habits and meal timing are crucial for digestion. Herbal remedies can support digestive health. Weight gain patterns are often linked to lifestyle changes. Maintaining balance in the body is essential for health. Open communication about sexual health is important in relationships. Resources From The Show: HCL Challenge - Get Thorne Betaine HCL + Pepsin - take one capsule with meal one and watch for any burning, no burning go for 2 capsules with the next meal and increase by one capsule till you either reach 5 capsules or you have a slight burning in the stomach. The more capsules you can tolerate without a burn the more deficient in stomach acid you are. Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water and drink it. You can repeat the baking soda drink if needed. Most people will end up taking between 2-6 HCI capsules per meal. Digestive Enzymes - Steven Wright's Company "Healthy Gut" - HCL Guard + Holozymes Apex Energetics - Enzymix Pro Active Herb - herbal company Blue Poppy Herbs Herbs I mentioned in the podcast: Gui Pi Tang — For weak digestion and fluid retention. If you feel puffy or gain weight quickly after eating, this is your ally. Shan Zha Jian Zhi Pian — This one breaks down fat. It's amazing for folks who stress eat or binge on sugar. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan — Helps the liver chill out, especially if you're dealing with reflux, constipation, and bloating. Ba Zhen Tang — When you're just wiped out, lacking motivation, or not even hungry, this one helps restore yang and blood to energize the body. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan — This is a staple for perimenopause and menopause support. It nourishes yin and helps with vaginal dryness, low libido, and overall hormone balance. Chinese Medicine Patterns I talk about: Damp accumulation: That puffy, sluggish weight gain Phlegm: Which is the Chinese term often equated to fat gain Liver Qi Stagnation: When stress causes your liver to "attack" your digestion Blood and Yang Deficiency: Low energy, lack of movement, low motivation
What happens when healing becomes another form of harm? When the search for purity, wellness, and relief becomes a maze of restriction, shame, and exhaustion? In this quietly radical conversation, Konstanze Weiser joins us to speak not as an expert, but as someone who lived it from childhood illness to orthorexia, Panchakarma to spiritual burnout. We explore the parts of wellness culture we don't often talk about: the obsession with food, the spiritualization of suffering, the silent shame around digestion and embodiment. Konstanze shares what it took to finally stop outsourcing authority, soften her grip, and listen to her own body. What emerged wasn't a protocol, but a practice. Not control, but connection. This is not a story of being healed. It's a story of no longer needing to be. Subjects Explored Orthorexia and the glorification of “clean” eating When Ayurveda becomes another system to get right Panchakarma, shame, and the desire to purge pain Digestive distress, embodiment, and feminine silence Yoga practice as participation, not perfection Letting go of healing as a project Food, feeling, and the return to simplicity Key Phrases or Quotes “It wasn't the food. It was the shame.” “I believed my body couldn't heal unless I followed all the rules.” “At some point, I didn't even have the capacity for shame anymore.” “I don't use food to compensate as much anymore—because I don't need to.” “Healing isn't about fixing. It's about not betraying yourself.” “My practice is non-negotiable. But it's not because I'm trying to improve. It's because it brings me back.” Key Takeaways Orthorexia is often hidden in wellness culture – When food becomes a moral issue, restriction masquerades as discipline. Systems are not saviors – Ayurveda, yoga, or detox can become prisons when driven by fear or perfectionism. Digestion and shame are deeply linked – It wasn't the food causing distress. It was the silence, the hiding, the internalized shame. Embodiment is not a theory – Real practice means listening to the body, not overriding it with ideals. Simplicity is a form of intelligence – Healing came not from doing more, but from letting go. The body already knows – The role of practice is to help us trust it again.

Secrets of taro root for energy, immunity, and digestion revealed!
This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Microbial protein has always been Dr. Frikins' main interest. It's the most important and consistent source of protein for the cow, with a very high amino acid content. Histidine is the only exception, but bypass protein sources high in histidine complement microbial protein well. Our assessment of microbial protein is all based on prediction models. In his presentation, Dr. Firkins talked about what we can do to have consistently high microbial protein production and how to make the best use of the models. He touched on starch and fat content as two areas of focus, emphasizing a balanced diet to achieve a balanced supply of microbial protein. (5:36)Dr. Firkins notes that about 90% of the bacteria in the rumen can't be cultured, and there is great diversity in the rumen. There's a core group of bacteria that almost every cow has that are really good at their job because they've been co-selected along with the cow for fiber digestion. The panel discusses how much the microbiome changes over time, host interactions with the microbial population, and inoculation of calves at birth and weaning. (8:47)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Faciola talk about starch associative effects and their impacts on fiber digestibility, how sugars impact the rumen and butyrate production, and the importance of butyrate in de novo milk fat synthesis. Dr. Frikins hypothesizes that when sugars improve fiber digestibility, the sugar stimulates how fiber digesters do their job. Some studies have shown an increase in rumen pH when sugars are supplemented, which may be part of the mechanism of improved fiber digestibility. However, he doesn't recommend using sugars when there is a lot of starch in the diet. (13:38)Dr. Faciola and Dr. Firkins discuss some of the finer points of the dietary starch and fiber digestibility relationship. What are you replacing when you add more starch? What is the proper amount of effective fiber in higher-starch diets? On the other hand, if you decrease starch a little bit, there might be more room for fat. Well-managed cows with adequate effective fiber can probably handle more starch. Dr. Firkins underlines that starch is more digestible than fiber and thus supports microbial protein, but an optimum level is desirable, perhaps 28-20%. (20:37)The panel talks about microbial growth efficiency and the energy-spilling mechanisms some bacteria have. Some models suggest that starch-digesting bacteria have higher maintenance energy requirements. The group then pivots to methane production and available feed additives marketed to reduce methane. Dr. Firkins notes that there is quite a bit of variability in the additives. He emphasizes that if we're using these products, we need to know and measure what's in them and have them be consistent. This is challenging due not only to variability in product, but also rumen adaptation. Dr. Firkins also reminds the audience that improving the cow's efficiency in general in a variety of ways will lead to a smaller environmental footprint. This can range from improving reproductive efficiency to understanding differences in the microbiome of cows who emit more or less methane and trying to shift microbial populations to those with lower emissions. (23:12)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Firkins discuss fatty acid supplementation and fiber digestion relationships. Dr. Firkins explains that in the microbiology literature, it's common to culture bacteria in a simple or complex medium, then add yeast culture. Interestingly, the yeast culture contains a lot of palmitic acid, which has been shown to improve fiber digestibility. He suggests the cell membrane of the bacteria is very critical. When fat supplementation depresses fiber digestibility, he suspects it's disrupting the bacterial membrane. Dr. De Souza recommends 1-2% palmitic acid in the diet for optimal results. (33:58)The panel touches on the importance and relevance of in vitro fermentation work, why histidine is the limiting amino acid in microbial protein, and Dr. Firkins' passion for protozoa. (43:08)Panelists share their take-home thoughts. (53:40)Please subscribe and share with your industry friends to invite more people to join us at the Real Science Exchange virtual pub table.

If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in. People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change. Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey. This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to: Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy. You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard. Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.

You must check out this fascinating and illuminating conversation with Rohini Walker, British-Indian writer and devoted practitioner of soul-body liberation. Rohini moved to the desert of Joshua Tree, California with her husband from London, England in 2013 and began a creative journey of writing, mentoring, and consulting. Rohini co-founded the arts and cultural print periodical Luna Arcana, with Martin Mancha (Ted's cousin) Ted was inspired to have Rohini as a guest because of her article titled “Committing to Digestion in the Information Age.” In this article from her newsletter Letters from Luna, Rohini discusses the over-consumption of information that has become addictive and normalized. Like going from one all-you-can-eat buffet to another without allowing anything to digest, this incessant consumption of news and social media keeps us distracted, anxious, and uncomfortable in our bodies with “hot heads and cold bellies.” Drawing from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and other indigenous wisdom traditions, Rohini shares how she works with her clients to have greater connection with one's body as well as to the natural world, allowing us to cultivate “Cool heads and warm bellies”. This episode is guaranteed to give you some things to think about. TedinYourHead.com
In this week's episode Natalie is joined by registered Menopause Nutritionist & Author Emma Bardwell to talk all about her brand new book The 30g Plan and how our nutritional needs change as we head towards mid life. From slower digestion to decreasing muscle mass Emma unpacks the varying transitions our bodies face as we enter perimenopause and menopause and how our diet can have a significant impact on the intensity of symptoms. Emma details the need for more protein and fibre as we age and notes how her own experience with entering perimenopause and the concerns her patients expressed inspired her to create her brand new book The 30g Plan. Explaining that, in an age of misinformation and click bait she felt women entering midlife needed a resource that was scientifically backed whilst being easy to follow when it came to understanding their nutritional needs. During the conversation Emma also notes how our hormonal changes impact digestion and how it is vital that we pay attention to this often taboo area of our health in order to maintain optimum wellbeing as we begin to experience perimenopause, highlighting that many women can suffer with bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms that lead to lack of confidence and decreased vitality. In a highly informative part of the chat Emma gives her verdict on the use of supplements to boost overall wellness alongside helpful advice on getting the best nutrition on a budget.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Steve Wright explain why many people stay inflamed even after removing toxins and eating clean. The real issue isn't exposure—it's lost immune tolerance, and the solution is rebuilding resilience. You'll learn about the five gut defense layers that regulate your immune system. Fixing oxygen balance, mucus layers, and gut cell mitochondria is key to restoring proper function. They also cover how para-probiotics—dead bacteria—can retrain an overactive immune response. If you're sensitive to foods, histamines, or your environment, this episode lays out what to do next.

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Eating clean but still feeling off? In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how a bad diet can still sneak into your routine—even when it looks “healthy.” Learn the hidden signs your body is reacting to the wrong foods and how to course-correct using simple, powerful strategies. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Not all “healthy” foods are healthy for you—bio-individuality matters. Bloating, fatigue, and brain fog may be signs of food sensitivities. Bad diet patterns can persist even on whole food diets. Gut symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in the liver and gallbladder. You can reset your digestion by supporting detox pathways and microbiome health. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – A targeted gut, liver, and gallbladder support bundle. As discussed in this episode, symptoms of a bad diet often trace back to poor digestion and sluggish detox. This protocol is designed to restore healthy elimination, reduce bloating, and promote microbiome balance.

Your body is always giving you signals – and after 40, those digestive whispers often become impossible to ignore. If you've been wondering why your gut feels different than it did in your 30s, or if you're tired of being told that bloating, irregular digestion, and energy crashes are just "part of getting older," this episode is for you. I'm sharing my own journey with digestive challenges alongside the clinical insights I've gained working with hundreds of women navigating this exact phase of life. Because here's what I know to be true: this is not your new normal. In this conversation, we're going beyond surface-level solutions to explore the root causes of why digestion shifts after 40, how hormonal changes create a ripple effect throughout your entire system, and most importantly – what you can actually do about it. What we'll explore together: The Power of Decision and Action (02:21) Why the moment you decide to partner with your body instead of fighting against it changes everything Building Resilience Through Challenges (03:25) How our digestive struggles can become our greatest teachers when we approach them with curiosity instead of frustration A Journey with Digestive Issues (05:59) My personal story of navigating gut health challenges and what I learned about listening to my body's signals The Role of Nutrition in Overcoming Health Issues (07:48) Quality over quick fixes – why sustainable nutrition approaches create lasting digestive healing The Disconnect in Conventional Medicine (12:31) Why traditional approaches often miss the interconnected nature of digestive health and what to look for instead Understanding Hormonal and Gut Health (34:54) It's all connected – how your changing hormones after 40 directly impact your digestive function and what this means for your daily experience Introducing Advanced Testing: GI MAP and Dutch Tests (43:29) Empowered by knowledge – how comprehensive testing can reveal the root causes behind your symptoms and guide personalized solutions This isn't about perfection or following someone else's protocol. It's about understanding your unique body, honoring where you are right now, and taking impeccable care of yourself through informed, compassionate choices. Your digestive health is the foundation for everything else – your energy, your mood, your ability to show up fully in your life. You deserve to feel empowered by food, not controlled by digestive uncertainty. Ready to dive deeper?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones. Because if you're on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn't optional. It's essential. Here's what we got into:
What if improving your gut health didn't require expensive supplements, fancy tests, or endless trial and error? In today's episode, we dive into the often-overlooked lifestyle foundations that can significantly improve digestion, reduce bloating, and help you finally feel good after meals without needing a single lab result. We start with meal hygiene: how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Digestion begins in the brain, and simple changes like slowing down, turning off distractions, and chewing thoroughly can kickstart your gut's natural processes. You'll learn how stress and multitasking at meals divert blood flow away from the gut and how to set the stage for digestion by being present, cooking your own food, and even doing a quick breathing exercise. Next, we cover meal timing, and how aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms can support the "housekeeping" system of your gut. You'll learn how a consistent eating schedule and small shifts like starting your day with warm lemon water can make a big impact. We also tackle what to eat specifically for constipation and diarrhea. From fiber types and fluid intake to soothing herbal teas and smart food swaps, you'll walk away with real strategies that work. Plus, we share our go-to cheat sheets for stool consistency and explain when it is time to use supplements or run labs. Even if supplements become part of your long-term plan (like they are for some of our clients), these lifestyle shifts are the groundwork for sustainable gut health. Listen in and take the first step toward better digestion naturally.

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES: (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation. All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

Story at-a-glance Ghost poops — bowel movements that leave no residue when wiping and sink in the toilet — are indicators of excellent gut health and proper digestion, showing your body is efficiently processing nutrients Many digestive issues that prevent ghost poops stem from poor diet, stress, dehydration or insufficient physical activity, all of which disrupt your gut microbiome Contrary to popular belief, healing your gut often requires increasing digestible carbohydrates (200 to 350 grams daily) rather than focusing on fiber-heavy foods that might worsen symptoms in an unhealthy gut Proper toilet posture significantly impacts elimination — using a footstool or leaning forward opens your colon for more complete evacuation Floating or sticky stools signal issues with fat absorption or gut inflammation, while regular ghost poops indicate your digestive system is functioning optimally
