742. The Morning Routine That Transformed My Gut Health (My Skin, Sleep & Energy Too!)
Ever wondered what the best way is to start your morning for optimal gut health? In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact routine I follow (and recommend to my clients) that supports digestion, boosts energy, helps with skin issues, and sets the tone for a smoother day overall.
I’m also sharing the backstory—how I discovered my gut was behind my cystic acne, why your mouth health directly impacts your digestive system, and why skipping breakfast may be one of the worst things you can do for your hormones and metabolism.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to fine-tune your current routine, this episode gives you 3 simple steps to implement right away—and a deeper understanding of why they matter.
