Episode notes
Digestion Drives Body Composition
- Digestive health determines how well your body breaks down, absorbs, and eliminates nutrients, which directly affects body composition.
- Even perfect nutrition fails if your gut cannot digest and assimilate it.
Aim For Daily Healthy Bowel Movements
- Aim for daily, well-formed bowel movements without blood, mucus, or undigested food.
- Avoid regular bloating, reflux, or cramping as signs something is wrong.
Multiple Systems Must Sync For Digestion
- Gut bacteria, enzymes, bile, stomach acid, gut lining, and the enteric nervous system must work together for optimal digestion.
- Disruption in any link impairs nutrient use and can affect body composition.
