The BS We Feed Ourselves — Gut/Brain healing for overachievers
Here’s what I’ve learned over these last 32 episodes. There isn’t any one smoking gun as to why we’re sick. Why we’re in the middle of a disease epidemic in this country. It’s multi-layered and fraught with nuance. The culmination of parts and allowances we feed ourselves daily, hourly, just to cope in a world that is too fast, diverse, polluted, and expansive for our brains to keep up with. This is why we’re here.

Quotes:
"You have a responsibility to investigate what you're putting into your own body.” - Mark McTavish
“We’re not eating things that are good for our gut typically until our late 20s when we start to learn about our diet. When we take a more mindful approach and we start to discover these things, we cling to diets like keto, paleo, fodmap, and all these things to be more symptomatically driven. We’re not really getting ahead of anything, we’re thinking about how we fix ourselves. And one of the things that have messed us up the most in our 20s is drinking alcohol. More systematically driven. “ - Mark McTavish
