NMLP EP 141 : Slow digestion reasons and digestion improvement hacks (part one)
Nutrition's My Life Podcast
The poop whisperer is here to help... lol. I recently shared that went a little crazy because so many people are struggling with a slow digestion. The movement capability of the digestive tract is called motility and I see many people in my practice with a slow motility. This can cause: + more bloating + constipation or diarrhea + discomfort + make you not hungry (which then makes it hard for you to meet your nutrient demands) On this episode of the Nutrition's My Life Podcast, I'm helping you understand where your slow motility could have resulted from and some action...
info_outlineDigestive health.
We all poop.
Some of us poop a lot, some a little, and some people have difficulties. If your digestion is off- you may not be absorbing your nutrition properly and may have more anxiety/depression/weight/inflammation etc..
Your digestive tract does a lot for you but when it's off... sheesh- it's uncomfortable and an annoyance.
This week at Nutrition's My Life- I'm helping you improve your digestion by bringing you back to basics. We're not going to be doing crazy detoxes and enemas (seriously- please don't). We WILL be simplifying how to improve your digestion!!
If you're enjoying today's show- please let me know by tagging me in a social media post! I'd love to see it and this will help others learn too! :) @nutritionsmylife
If you have a thyroid disorder and digestion is off- the thyroid needs to be tackled at the same time as your digestion. Check out my book, The Healthy Thyroid Guide, for further guidance.
