This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I’m hanging out with the amazing Brandee Hommerding, a certified nutrition therapy practitioner and founder of Bee Collective Wellness. Brandee is basically a stomach acid detective (yes, really), and she’s on a mission to help women feel better by mastering their digestion and hormones. In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into all things stomach acid—why it’s essential for digestion, how it’s tied to your hormone health, and what happens when you don’t have enough of it. Spoiler alert: it’s a game-changer for everything from nutrient absorption to energy levels. If you’re ready to get to the root of bloating, fatigue, and more, this episode is for you!
PSA: Stop chugging water before meals, friends! It’s not helping – it’s diluting your stomach acid and making digestion harder. Instead, sip water throughout your meal, and let your stomach acid do its job!
That’s a Wrap: You’re going to love this episode – Brandee’s wisdom on stomach acid will have you rethinking your entire approach to digestion. Plus, we’ll give you actionable tips that you can start using today to feel better, more energized, and less bloated.
So, grab a cozy drink (not right before a meal, though!) and hit play. Your stomach will thank you!
