What’s Really Wrecking Your Digestion & Cycle: Gut Health with Dr. Ashley de Luna

Send us Fan MailHave you tried elimination diets, cut out countless foods, and done random internet cleanses, only to find yourself still dealing with uncomfortable bloating, irregular periods and gut issues? In this episode, we sit down with licensed naturopathic doctor, yoga instructor, and women's health expert, Dr. Ashley de Luna. Dr. de Luna shares her personal journey navigating severe gut issues from her earlier days as a vegetarian to medical school, and reveals why the secret to her healing wasn't a restrictive vegan diet—it was regulating her nervous system.  We pull back the curtain on how the gut acts as our "second brain" and why true digestive wellness must start with a safe, grounded nervous system. Dr. de Luna breaks down the physiology of the vagus nerve and explains why eating while stressed prevents your body from properly releasing digestive enzymes. You will learn direct, actionable strategies to shift your body out of "fight or flight" and into a "rest and digest" state. We also touch on parasites, mold, leaky gut, and hormones, for a holistic conversation on gut health for women.RESOURCESEWG Tap Water Database - https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/Aqua True Water Filter - https://aquatru.comAdditional resources from this episode can be found at: https://www.fuelwitherin.com/podcast/v/9s7xy3j7x7sz638y7scjlwwpfw85j6 CONNECT WITH DR.
