From Gut Feelings to Overall Gut Health

While similar to what it has been, your gut in midlife is changing. We are here to talk about the midlife gut and some of the changes that you can expect.In recent years, gut health has been all the rage in the health and wellness space. We want to demystify it. Gut health is important because the gut is referred to as the 'second brain'. What you eat affects all aspects of life, including cognitive and emotional function. It follows the old adage of 'garbage in, garbage out'.With a plethora of convenience and processed foods constantly available, it's easier than ever to eat on the run, using nutrient-bereft foods that aren't satiating and could be addictive. Adding sugar to many processed foods makes them 'hyper-palatable' while severely damaging the gut microbiome and possibly the gut lining, setting you up for a leaky gut or worse.There are many signs of an unhealthy gut, and we cover many of them in this episode. We explain what organs and parts make up the gut and why each part is vital to proper digestion and good health. We talk about inflammation and give you a 'starter' protocol for creating a healthy balance in the gut.We hope you join us for this informative episode.Get Social!Join us on the midlife journey!Websites: www.camoyler.com and www.thehelpfulplate.comInstagram: www.Instagram.com/midlife.mommasStay Connected!AmeliaWebsite:  https://www.thehelpfulplate.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehelpfulplate/CamWebsite: https://www.camoyler.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/heymomma_cam/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heymomma_camMidlife Mommas IG: https://www.instagram.com/midlife.mommas/Please share, rate, and review the podcast.  We appreciate you! ❤️
