Show Notes
In this episode dedicated to functional nutrition, Coach Chris and her dietetic intern discuss gut health. Our gut is truly our second brain, affecting everything from immunity and inflammation to mood and mental health, with 99% of our DNA coming from our microbiome rather than our human cells.
**I'm not loving the audio, but hang tight through the end, as there's some great stories and pearls, AND a gut reset challenge!
You'll learn:
• The DIGIN framework to gut health.
• Identify the five key disruptors of gut health via the STAIN framework.
• Why gut health is crucial for immunity and inflammation control.
• How the nervous system creates a powerful brain-gut connection, explaining why stress (like trauma) impacts digestion and gut health affects mood
• How your gut has its own circadian rhythm, and what to do to support it
• The Five R healing framework (Remove, Replace, Re-inoculate, Repair, and Rebalance), that offers a systematic approach to gut healing
