If you have any digestive problem, not have 2-3 💩 like look snakes, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel issues.. read this:

Wellness can certainly be fancy, and Lord knows I love advanced protocols, peptides and biohacks when they are needed. I have seen them work wonders for people in improving their labs and lives.

But let’s not let perfection get in the way of so very good. And this list is great. Lean into these for gut health.

👉🏽 check out the article below on a deep dive discussion about optimizing gut health with the more advanced next-level things I recommend to telehealth patients, and the protocol I take personally.

Gut health is profoundly important because it serves as the foundation for overall well-being, influencing everything from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune function, mental health, and even chronic disease prevention. Often referred to as the “second brain,” the gut houses trillions of microorganisms that form the microbiome, which plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation, producing essential vitamins, and communicating with the brain via the gut-brain axis—impacting mood, cognition, and stress responses. Poor gut health, stemming from factors like processed foods, antibiotics, or chronic stress, can lead to issues such as leaky gut syndrome, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and metabolic imbalances like obesity or diabetes. By prioritizing gut health people can enhance their body’s resilience, boost energy levels, improve skin clarity, and foster long-term vitality, underscoring why nurturing this vital system is key to achieving optimal health in our modern world.

Intermittent fasting is one of the top health tips that changed my life!

Snacking and frequent eating keep your insulin high. In contrast, intermittent fasting, an eating pattern that alternates between periods of fasting and time-restricted eating, supports metabolic health by lowering blood sugar and insulin levels.

Starting intermittent fasting is easy. Slowly extend your overnight fast by gradually pushing back breakfast until you feel comfortable reducing your meals from three to two per day.

If you can’t take hormones, reduce hot flashes with...diet and phytoestrogens

Not every woman can—or wants to—take hormones. Night sweats and hot flashes are a big deal, and we absolutely need options that help women feel better without dismissing their symptoms or struggles.

What you eat matters. And there are certain foods that contain phytoestrogens, plant compounds that gently interact with estrogen receptors in the body. One of the most studied? Soybeans.

In a published study, women ate one cup of soybeans daily. After 12 weeks, they had a dramatic reduction in both the severity and frequency of night sweats and hot flashes. Food can be a powerful medicine.

Here’s a link to that study:
