One weird trick to improve your gut health, reduce bloating, and improve digestion? Listen to this podcast interview. That’s the trick.

That’s because in it, I interview Marianna Moore, who offers practical tips on how to really influence your gut health. Hint: it’s not greens powders or supplements. The truth is gut health is a lot more complicated than many people (especially on social media) would have you believe, but in this podcast, you’ll learn things you can implement in your own life right away.

In case you’re not familiar with Marianna, she has a Masters in nutrition (and focused on gut health during her education), and regularly posts healthy recipes and realistic meal prepping tips on instagram, as well as educational fitness and gut health content on TikTok. She’s also the co-host of the Fitness Stuff Podcast, along with Tony Coffey, who I also recently had on the show.

In this interview, Marianna and I discuss . . .

- How to determine if you have poor gut health

- “Good” versus “bad” bacteria in your gut and why they matter

- Different types of fiber, why it’s beneficial, and how much of it you should eat

- The importance of a diverse diet and how to actually implement one

- The role of stress in digestion

- The gut-brain connection, the influence of the gut on mental health, the enteric nervous system, and why the gut is sometimes called the “second brain”

- Considerations for when to seek out a prebiotic supplement, and the utility of probiotics and greens supplements

- And more . . .

So, if you’re interested in learning about gut health and getting advice on the best ways to effectively improve it, listen to this podcast and let me know your thoughts!
