from Well Beyond 40 · host JJ Virgin

Plus, you’ll learn the connection between hydration and gut health (including JJ’s favorite tea for gut healing), why antacids can do more harm than good for acid reflux, why intermittent fasting supports a healthy gut, the #1 way to break a morning fast, and why eating breakfast can help you lose weight. “All disease begins in the gut,” Hippocrates said over 2,000 years ago.
