#160 - How your digestion is linked to your metabolic health with Meg Langston
Meg is back on the podcast. We’ve had her on here twice already, and I just love Meg. She works with women to restore their metabolic health, hormones, and digestion.
I love that Meg looks at the system as a whole and doesn’t just treat the symptoms of her clients.
So, with that in mind, in this episode, Meg and I chat about:
➡️Why it isn’t great to eat nuts and seeds in large amounts
➡️How digestion is linked to thyroid and hormone health
➡️How what you do 80-90% of the time is what matters
➡️Vegetables, nutrients, and digestion
➡️Why bloating and constipation happen with restriction
➡️How stress impacts your digestion and health
➡️Candida and what to do about it (p.s you don't have to cut all sugar and carbs from your diet)
➡️What causes iron overload
➡️The benefits of organ meats, like liver
➡️The advantages of other “traditional” foods
➡️Scheduling intentional rest and saying “no”
➡️Quick tips for gut health
And more!
