For years, the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset reduced benefits for those who had rightfully earned them. Now that those policies are gone, many are left with questions. Eddie Holland joins us to help clarify what's changed and what it means for your retirement.Eddie Holland is a Senior Private Wealth Advisor and partner of Blue Trust in Greenville, South Carolina. He's also a CPA, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®).A Quick History of WEP and GPOThe Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP), enacted over 40 years ago, reduces Social Security benefits for individuals receiving a non-covered pension—a pension from which no Social Security taxes were withheld. This often included employees in state and local government jobs, such as teachers, police officers, and firefighters.Similarly, the Government Pension Offset (GPO) reduced a spousal or survivor benefit for individuals in the same situation. These rules were designed to prevent “double-dipping,” but they often unfairly penalized modest-income workers, sometimes reducing their monthly Social Security checks by hundreds of dollars—or even eliminating their spousal or survivor benefits entirely.The Social Security Fairness Act of 2025That changed on January 5, 2025, when President Joe Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act. This legislation repealed both WEP and GPO, effective retroactively as of January 2024. As a result:Nearly 3 million Americans became eligible for retroactive benefits.Future monthly benefits for those affected have also been adjusted upward.This marks a significant win for many retired public servants who had long felt the weight of these provisions.What to Expect if You're AffectedThere are two phases of payments:Retroactive Payments – Starting in March 2025, some individuals received large one-time deposits representing the benefits they should have received since January 2024. These payments often arrived with little to no explanation, leaving many confused. Adjusted Monthly Benefits – Beginning in April 2025, Social Security began increasing ongoing monthly benefits for those impacted.It's important to note that these changes only apply to individuals with a non-covered pension, not all civil service employees.Steps to Take if You Think You QualifyIf you believe these changes may apply to you, Eddie recommends two simple steps:Check Your Account Online. Visit SSA.gov to log in to your account (or create one if you haven't already). Contact the Social Security Administration. If your account doesn't show any updates or you have questions, call 1-800-772-1213 or schedule an appointment at your local SSA office to speak directly with an agent.If navigating these changes feels overwhelming, consider consulting a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) who specializes in matters related to Social Security, who can help you make informed, faith-based financial decisions.

Along with that they bring you all the BEST punting tips and picks. They of course provide some SERIOUS VALUE with the world famous Ones To Watch Player Props and discuss the biggest issues heading into this finals series. Lastly the lads decide their predictions for the whole season and who will win the premiership!!

In addition to the United States, several key European governments continue to provide intelligence and arms to the Israeli military—support that enables the ongoing genocide in Gaza and obstructs the path toward a political solution. Germany is among these governments, and its complicity is particularly striking given its own history of genocides in the 20th century. In a recent article for Middle East Eye titled “As Gaza becomes a death camp, German complicity reveals the West's racist biopolitics,” Dr. Jürgen Mackert analyzes how this ideology determines who is deemed worthy of life and resources, and who is not. Dr. Mackert is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Potsdam, Germany, and the author of several works. His most recent book, On Social Closure: Theorizing Exclusion, Exploitation, and Elimination, explores the mechanisms by which societies create and enforce boundaries of belonging.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, the big headline everyone’s been talking about in the last week or two about generative AI is a study from MIT’s Nanda project that cited the big headline: 95% of enterprise generative AI projects never make it out of pilot. A lot of the commentary clearly shows that no one has actually read the study because the study is very good. It’s a very good study that walks through what the researchers are looking at and acknowledged the substantial limitations of the study, one of which was that it had a six-month observation period. Katie, you and I have both worked in enterprise organizations and we have had and do have enterprise clients. Some people can’t even buy a coffee machine in six months, much less route a generative AI project. Christopher S. Penn – 00:49 But what I wanted to talk about today was some of the study’s findings because they directly relate to AI strategy. So if you are not an AI ready strategist, we do have a course for that. Katie Robbert – 01:05 We do. As someone, I’ve been deep in the weeds of building this AI ready strategist course, which will be available on September 2. It’s actually up for pre-sale right now. You go to trust insights AI/AI strategy course. I just finished uploading everything this morning so hopefully I used all the correct edits and not the ones with the outtakes of me threatening to murder people if I couldn’t get the video done. Christopher S. Penn – 01:38 The bonus, actually, the director’s edition. Katie Robbert – 01:45 Oh yeah, not to get too off track, but there was a couple of times I was going through, I’m like, oops, don’t want to use that video. But back to the point, so obviously I saw the headline last week as well. I think the version that I saw was positioned as “95% of AI pilot projects fail.” Period. And so of course, as someone who’s working on trying to help people overcome that, I was curious. When I opened the article and started reading, I’m like, “Oh, well, this is misleading,” because, to be more specific, it’s not that people can’t figure out how to integrate AI into their organization, which is the problem that I help solve. Katie Robbert – 02:34 It’s that people building their own in-house tools are having a hard time getting them into production versus choosing a tool off the shelf and building process around it. That’s a very different headline. And to your point, Chris, the software development life cycle really varies and depends on the product that you’re building. So in an enterprise-sized company, the likelihood of them doing something start to finish in six months when it involves software is probably zero. Christopher S. Penn – 03:09 Exactly. When you dig into the study, particularly why pilots fail, I thought this was a super useful chart because it turns out—huge surprise—the technology is mostly not the problem. One of the concerns—model quality—is a concern. The rest of these have nothing to do with technology. The rest of these are challenging: Change management, lack of executive sponsorship, poor user experience, or unwillingness to adopt new tools. When we think about this chart, what first comes to mind is the 5 Ps, and 4 out of 5 are people. Katie Robbert – 03:48 It’s true. One of the things that we built into the new AI strategy course is a 5P readiness assessment. Because your pilot, your proof of concept, your integration—whatever it is you’re doing—is going to fail if your people are not ready for it. So you first need to assess whether or not people want to do this because that’s going to be the thing that keeps this from moving forward. One of the responses there was user experience. That’s still people. If people don’t feel they can use the thing, they’re not going to use it. If it’s not immediately intuitive, they’re not going to use it. We make those snap judgments within milliseconds. Katie Robbert – 04:39 We look at something and it’s either, “Okay, this is interesting,” or “Nope,” and then close it out. It is a technology problem, but that’s a symptom. The root is people. Christopher S. Penn – 04:52 Exactly. In the rest of the paper, in section 6, when it talks about where the wins were for companies that were successful, I thought this was interesting. Lead qualification, speed, customer retention. Sure, those are front office things, but the paper highlights that the back office is really where enterprises will win using generative AI. But no one’s investing it. People are putting all the investment up front in sales and marketing rather than in the back office. So the back office wins. Business process optimization. Elimination: $2 million to $10 million annually in customer service and document processing—especially document processing is an easy win. Agency spend reduction: 30% decrease in external, creative, and content costs. And then risk checks for financial services by doing internal risk management. Christopher S. Penn – 05:39 I thought this was super interesting, particularly for our many friends and colleagues who work at agencies, seeing that 30% decrease in agency spend is a big deal. Katie Robbert – 05:51 It’s a huge deal. And this is, if we dig into this specific line item, this is where you’re going to get a lot of those people challenges because we’re saying 30% decrease in external creative and content costs. We’re talking about our designers and our writers, and those are the two roles that have felt the most pressure of generative AI in terms of, “Will it take my job?” Because generative AI can create images and it can write content. Can it do it well? That’s pretty subjective. But can it do it? The answer is yes. Christopher S. Penn – 06:31 What I thought was interesting says these gains came without material workforce reduction. Tools accelerated work, but did not change team structures or budgets. Instead, ROI emerged from reduced external spend, limiting contracts, cutting agency fees, replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. So that makes logical sense if you are spending X dollars on something, an agency that writes blog content for you. When we were back at our old PR agency, we had one firm that was spending $50,000 a month on having freelancers write content that when you and I reviewed, it was not that great. Machines would have done a better job properly prompted. Katie Robbert – 07:14 What I find interesting is it’s saying that these gains came without material workforce reduction, but that’s not totally true because you did have to cut your agency fees, which is people actually doing the work, and replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. So no, you didn’t cut workforce reduction at your own company, but you cut it at someone else’s. Christopher S. Penn – 07:46 Exactly. So the red flag there for anyone who works in an agency environment or a consulting environment is how much risk are you at from AI taking your existing clients away from you? So you might not lose a client to another agency—you might lose a client to an internal AI project where if there isn’t a value add of human beings. If your agency is just cranking out templated press releases, yeah, you’re at risk. So I think one of the first things that I took away from this report is that every agency should be doing a very hard look at what value it provides and saying, “How easy is it for AI to replicate this?” Christopher S. Penn – 08:35 And if you’re an agency and you’re like, “Oh, well, we can just have AI write our blog posts and hand it off to the client.” There’s nothing stopping the client from doing that either and just getting rid of you entirely. Katie Robbert – 08:46 The other thing that sticks out to me is replacing expensive consultants with AI-powered internal capabilities. Technically, Chris, you and I are consultants, but we’re also the first ones to knock the consulting industry as a whole, because there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in the consulting industry. There’s a lot of people who talk a big talk, have big ideas, but don’t actually do anything useful and productive. So I see this and I don’t immediately think, “Oh, we’re in trouble.” I think, “Oh, good, it’s going to clear out the rest of the noise in the industry and make way for the people who can actually do something.” Christopher S. Penn – 09:28 And that is the heart and soul, I think, for us. Obviously, we have our own vested interest in ensuring that we continue to add value to our clients. But I think you’re absolutely right that if you are good at the “why”—which is what a lot of consulting focuses on—that’s important. If you’re good at the “what”—which is more of the tactical stuff, “what are you going to do?”—that’s important. But what we see throughout this paper is the “how” is where people are getting tangled up: “How do we implement generative AI?” If you are just a navel-gazing ChatGPT expert, that “how” is going to bite you really hard really soon. Christopher S. Penn – 10:13 Because if you go and read through the rest of the paper, one of the things it talks about is the gap—the implementation gap between “here’s ChatGPT” and then for the enterprise it was like, “Well, here’s all of our data and all of our systems and all of our everything else that we want AI to talk to in a safe and secure way.” And this gap is gigantic between these two worlds. So tools like ChatGPT are being relegated to, “Let’s write more blog posts and write some press releases and stuff” instead of “help me actually get some work done with the things that I have to do in a prescribed way,” because that’s the enterprise. That gap is where consulting should be making a difference. Christopher S. Penn – 10:57 But to your point, with a lot of navel-gazing theorists, no one’s bridging that gap. Katie Robbert – 11:05 What I find interesting about the shift that we’ve seen with generative AI is we’ve almost in some ways regressed in the way that work is getting done. We’re looking at things as independent, isolated tasks versus fully baked, well-documented workflows. And we need to get back to those holistic 360-degree workflows to figure out where we can then insert something generative AI versus picking apart individual tasks and then just having AI do that. Now I do think that starting with a proof of concept on an individual task is a good idea because you need to demonstrate some kind of success. You need to show that it can do the thing, but then you need to go beyond that. It can’t just forever, to your point, be relegated to writing blog posts. Katie Robbert – 12:05 What does that look like as you start to expand it from project to program within your entire organization? Which, I don’t know if you know this, there’s a whole lesson about that in the AI strategy course. Just figured I would plug that. But all kidding aside, that’s one of the biggest challenges that I’m seeing with organizations that “disrupt” with AI is they’re still looking at individual tasks versus workflows as a whole. Christopher S. Penn – 12:45 Yep. One of the things that the paper highlighted was that the reason why a lot of these pilots fail is because either the vendor or the software doesn’t understand the actual workflow. It can do the miniature task, but it doesn’t understand the overall workflow. And we’ve actually had input calls with clients and potential clients where they’ve walked us through their workflow. And you realize AI can’t do all of it. There’s just some parts that just can’t be done by AI because in many cases it’s sneaker-net. It’s literally a human being who has to move stuff from one system to another. And there’s not an easy way to do that with generative AI. The other thing that really stood out for me in terms of bridging this divide is from a technological perspective. Christopher S. Penn – 13:35 The biggest hurdle from the technology side was cited as no memory. A tool like ChatGPT and stuff has no institutional memory. It can’t easily connect to your internal knowledge bases. And at an enterprise, that’s a really big deal. Obviously, at Trust Insights’ size—with five or four employees and a bunch of AI—we don’t have to synchronize and coordinate massive stores of institutional knowledge across the team. We all pretty much know what’s going on. When you are an IBM with 300,000 employees, that becomes a really big issue. And today’s tools, absent those connectors, don’t have that institutional memory. So they can’t unlock that value. And the good news is the technology to bridge that gap exists today. It exists today. Christopher S. Penn – 14:27 You have tools that have memory across an entire codebase, across a SharePoint instance. Et cetera. But where this breaks down is no one knows where that information is or how to connect it to these tools, and so that huge divide remains. And if you are a company that wants to unlock the value of gen AI, you have to figure out that memory problem from a platform perspective quickly. And the good news is there’s existing tools that do that. There’s vector databases and there’s a whole long list of acronyms and tongue twisters that will solve that problem for you. But the other four pieces need to be in place to do that because it requires a huge lift to get people to be willing to share their data, to do it in a secure way, and to have a measurable outcome. Katie Robbert – 15:23 It’s never a one-and-done. So who owns it? Who’s going to maintain it? What is the process to get the information in? What is the process to get the information out? But even backing up further, the purpose is why are we doing this in the first place? Are we an enterprise-sized company with so many employees that nobody knows the same information? Or am I a small solopreneur who just wants to have some protection in case something happens and I lose my memory or I want to onboard someone new and I want to do a knowledge-share? And so those are very different reasons to do it, which means that your approach is going to be slightly different as well. Katie Robbert – 16:08 But it also sounds like what you’re saying, Chris, is yes, the technology exists, but not in an easily accessible way that you could just pick up a memory stick off the shelf, plug it in, and say, “Boom, now we have memory. Go ahead and tell it everything.” Christopher S. Penn – 16:25 The paper highlights in section 6.5 where things need to go right, which is Agentic AI. In this case, Agentic AI is just fancy for, “Hey, we need to connect it to the rest of our systems.” It’s an expensive consulting word and it sounds cool. Agentic AI and agentic workflows and stuff, it really just means, “Hey, you’ve got this AI engine, but it’s not—you’re missing the rest of the car, and you need the rest of the car.” Again, the good news is the technology exists today for these tools to have access to that. But you’re blocking obstacles, not the technology. Christopher S. Penn – 17:05 Your governance is knowing where your data lives and having people who have the skills and knowledge to bring knowledge management practices into a gen AI world because it is different. It is not the same as previous knowledge management initiatives. We remember all the “in” with knowledge management was all the rage in the 90s and early 2000s with knowledge management systems and wikis and internal things and SharePoint and all that stuff, and no one ever kept it up to date. Today, Agentic can solve some of those problems, but you need to have all the other human being stuff in place. The machines can’t do it by themselves. Katie Robbert – 17:51 So yes, on paper it can solve all those problems. But no, it’s not going to. Because if we couldn’t get people to do it in a more analog way where it was really simple and literally just upload the latest document to the server or add 2 lines of detail to your code in terms of what this thing is about, adding more technology isn’t suddenly going to change that. It’s just adding another layer of something people aren’t going to do. I’m very skeptical always, and I just feel this is what’s going to mislead people. They’re like, “Oh, now I don’t have to really think about anything because the machine is just going to know what I know.” But it’s that initial setup and maintenance that people are going to skip. Katie Robbert – 18:47 So the machine’s going to know what it came out of the box with. It’s never going to know what you know because you’ve never interacted with it, you’ve never configured with it, you’ve never updated it, you’ve never given it to other people to use. It’s actually just going to become a piece of shelfware. Christopher S. Penn – 19:02 I will disagree with you there. For existing enterprise systems, specifically Copilot and Gemini. And here’s why. Those tools, assuming they’re set up properly, will have automatic access to the back-end. So they’ll have access to your document store, they’ll have access to your mail server, they’ll have access to those things so that even if people don’t—because you’re right, people ain’t going to do it. People ain’t going to document their code, they’re not going to write up detailed notes. But if the systems are properly configured—and that is a big if—it will have access to all of your Microsoft Teams transcripts, it will have access to all of your Google Meet transcripts and all that stuff. And on the back-end, without participation from the humans, it will at least have a greater scope of knowledge across your company properly configured. Christopher S. Penn – 19:50 That’s the big asterisk that will give those tools that institutional memory. Greater institutional memory than you have now, which at the average large enterprise is really siloed. Marketing has no idea what sales is doing. Sales has no idea what customer service is doing. But if you have a decent gen AI tool and a properly configured back-end infrastructure where the machines are already logging all your documents and all your spreadsheets and all this stuff, without you, the human, needing to do any work, it will generate better results because it will have access to the institutional data source. Katie Robbert – 20:30 Someone still has to set it up and maintain it. Christopher S. Penn – 20:32 Correct. Which is the whole properly configured part. Katie Robbert – 20:36 It’s funny, as you’re going through listing all of the things that it can access, my first thought is most of those transcripts aren’t going to be useful because people are going to hop on a call and instead of getting things done, they’re just going to complain about whatever their boss is asking them to do. And so the institutional knowledge is really, it’s only as good as the data you give it. And I would bet you, what is it that you like to say? A small pastry with the value of less than $5 or whatever it is. Basically, I’ll bet you a cookie that the majority of data that gets into those systems with spreadsheets and transcripts and documents and we’re saying all these things is still junk, is still unuseful. Katie Robbert – 21:23 And so you’re going to have a lot of data in there that’s still garbage because if you’re just automatically uploading everything that’s available and not being picky and not cleaning it and not setting standards, you’re still going to have junk. Christopher S. Penn – 21:37 Yes, you’ll still have junk. Or the opposite is you’ll have issues. For example, maybe you are at a tech company and somebody asks the internal Copilot, “Hey, who’s going to the Coldplay concert this weekend?” So yes, data security and stuff is going to be an equally important part of that to know that these systems have access that is provisioned well and that has granular access control. So that, say, someone can’t ask the internal Copilot, “Hey, what does the CEO get paid anyway?” Katie Robbert – 22:13 So that is definitely the other side of this. And so that gets into the other topic, which is data privacy. I remember being at the agency and our team used Slack, and we could see as admins the stats and the amount of DMs that were happening versus people talking in public channels. The ratios were all wrong because you knew everybody was back-channeling everything. And we never took the time to extract that data. But what was well-known but not really thought of is that we could have read those messages at any given time. And I think that’s something that a lot of companies take for granted is that, “Oh, well, I’m DMing someone or I’m IMing someone or I’m chatting someone, so that must be private.” Christopher S. Penn – 23:14 It’s not. All of that data is going to get used and pulled. I think we talked about this on last week’s podcast. We need to do an updated conversation and episode about data privacy. Because I think we were talking last week about bias and where these models are getting their data and what you need to be aware of in terms of the consumer giving away your data for free. Christopher S. Penn – 23:42 Yep. But equally important is having the internal data governance because “garbage in, garbage out”—that rule never changes. That is eternal. But equally true is, do the tools and the people using them have access to the appropriate data? So you need the right data to do your job. You also want to guard against having just a free-for-all, where someone can ask your internal Copilot, “Hey, what is the CEO and the HR manager doing at that Coldplay concert anyway?” Because that will be in your enterprise email, your enterprise IMs, and stuff like that. And if people are not thoughtful about what they put into work systems, you will see a lot of things. Christopher S. Penn – 24:21 I used to work at a credit union data center, and as an admin of the mail system, I had administrative rights to see the entire system. And because one of the things we had to do was scan every message for protected financial information. And boy, did I see a bunch of things that I didn’t want to see because people were using work systems for things that were not work-related. That’s not AI; it doesn’t fix that. Katie Robbert – 24:46 No. I used to work at a data-entry center for those financial systems. We were basically the company that sat on top of all those financial systems. We did the background checks, and our admin of the mail server very much abused his admin powers and would walk down the hall and say to one of the women, referencing an email that she had sent thinking it was private. So again, we’re kind of coming back to the point: these are all human issues machines are not going to fix. Katie Robbert – 25:22 Shady admins who are reading your emails or team members who are half-assing the documentation that goes into the system, or IT staff that are overloaded and don’t have time to configure this shiny new tool that you bought that’s going to suddenly solve your knowledge expertise issues. Christopher S. Penn – 25:44 Exactly. So to wrap up, the MIT study was decent. It was a decent study, and pretty much everybody misinterpreted all the results. It is worth reading, and if you’d like to read it yourself, you can. We actually posted a copy of the actual study in our Analytics for Marketers Slack group, where you and over 4,000 of the marketers are asking and answering each other’s questions every single day.

The struggle for leadership of the LDS Church between Sidney Rigdon and Brigham Young still echoes today. One lasting outcome is the practice of dissolving the First Presidency at the prophet's death—a move meant to underscore that Rigdon was never recognized as Joseph Smith's rightful successor. Historian John Hamer of the Community of Christ joins us to examine Rigdon's claims, even arguing that Sidney may have had the strongest case for leadership. We'll also explore the church Rigdon established, now the third-largest “Mormon” denomination. Don't miss this fascinating discussion! https://youtu.be/jWzGoa9LXXQ Don't miss our other episodes with John Hamer! https://gospeltangents.com/people/john-hamer/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved We delve deep into the complexities of LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and RLDS (Community of Christ) succession after the death of Joseph Smith in 1844, and how this crisis shaped the leadership structures and beliefs of both churches. LDS Succession after Joseph Smith's Death (1844) Lack of a Defined System: There was no pre-existing system for succession written in the Doctrine and Covenants. The process that unfolded was largely shaped by the personalities and power dynamics of the time. Sidney Rigdon's Claim: Sidney Rigdon, Joseph Smith's counselor in the First Presidency, claimed the role of "guardian" of the church. This was akin to a regent in a monarchy, intended to lead until Joseph Smith III, who was then a child, could assume leadership. Brigham Young's Maneuver: Brigham Young argued that following the martyrdom, a prophet in the flesh was no longer needed, and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles should act as the First Presidency. This led to the group initially being called "Twelve-ites" by other branches. Timeframe to Leadership: It took three years for Brigham Young to transition from the president of the Quorum of the Twelve to the official prophet of the church. During this period, he acted as "acting president". Elimination of Rivals and Decentralization of Power: ◦ William Marks and the Standing High Council: William Marks, president of the Standing High Council, was seen as a rival to Brigham Young. The Standing High Council, which had previously held equal or even superior authority to the traveling Quorum of the Twelve, particularly in organized stakes, was effectively demoted into stake high councils. This move eliminated an institutional rival and concentrated power. ◦ Presiding Bishopric: Similarly, the powerful role of the Presiding Bishop, who controlled temporalities and could act as a leadership rival, was demoted by Brigham Young, who created numerous bishops, reducing the role to a congregational position. Retroactive Legitimacy: The LDS Church's practice of dissolving the First Presidency upon the prophet's death and the automatic succession of the senior-most apostle were established to retroactively delegitimize Sidney Rigdon's claim and ensure the legitimacy of subsequent LDS presidents. This automatic succession became rapid over time, especially after Joseph F. Smith, as leaders realized the difficulty of running the church without a quick transition. Non-Apostolic First Presidency: In the early church, the First Presidency (including Hyrum Smith and Sidney Rigdon) was distinct from the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Sidney Rigdon's Church and the Bickertonites Rigdon's Failed Efforts: After excommunicating each other, Sidney Rigdon started his own church in Pittsburgh, which eventually atomized.. John Hamer's ancestor, William Winchester, briefly served as one of Rigdon's apostles. Emergence of the Bickertonites: The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonites) originated from a branch in Pittsburgh led by William Bickerton, who had been Rigdon's last apostle. This group reorganized after William Bickerton and his followers broke with Brigham Young's church when poly...

We've had it wrong! You're not really bloated!!   My guest explains what ‘bloated' is … and isn't… How your hormones and gut interface happen and why adding protein might NOT be the thing you need to do right now if you're not really bloated.   My Guest:  Shefaly Ravula, PA-C, IFMCP is the visionary founder of Precision Gut Health, a virtual telehealth practice on a mission to unlock the secrets of gut health, nutrition and longevity. At the heart of her practice lies a powerful fusion of functional medicine, culinary nutrition, and a profound commitment to digestive and metabolic health optimization. Using a deeply individualized approach, she is dedicated to guiding patients towards a future where gut health and longevity are intricately entwined—and where vibrant health is not just a destination but a lifelong journey.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:57] What is the difference between bloating and distention? [00:20:10] Why stomach acid matters but also why it makes me nervous, as a practitioner? [00:14:44] What is the purpose of an elimination diet and when is it misused or misunderstood?  [00:28:03] In terms of hormones, how important is gut health?  [00:27:40] Chicken or Egg type of question: Do hormones changing influence gut health or does gut health changing influence hormones? [00:30:17] In terms of gut health and hormones, how important is protein?    Bloating vs. Distention? Bloating is a sensation, often tied to hormonal changes, water retention, or constipation. Distension is visible abdominal swelling, often worsening throughout the day.   What is Gut Health? Optimal functioning of your entire digestive system, which includes not just your intestines but your stomach acid, enzymes, gallbladder, and liver   Fix Your Gut Health, Maybe You're Not Really Bloated   Stomach Acid: Essential to digestion. Without enough acid, food isn't properly broken down, which can lead to bloating, distension, and other digestive problems.   Hormones: Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can slow down digestion. Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA affect gut motility, inflammation, and the body's ability to detoxify through the digestive tract   Protein: With ongoing gut issues, trying to hit high protein goals can add stress to an already compromised digestive system. Timing is key — healing the gut first, then optimizing protein intake for metabolic and hormonal benefits.   What is the Elimination Diet? Helps identify food sensitivities or reduce inflammation.  Designed to be short-term and therapeutic — not permanent. Elimination diets are often misused. Done wrong, they lead to excessive restriction and fear of reintroduction.   Connect with Shefaly: Website - Precision Gut Health Facebook - Precision Gut Health Instagram - @precisionguthealth TikTok - @precisionguthealth   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight or Gaining Muscle After 50 Next Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This – Why Am I Bloated?
