Episode Details

If your patient were to ask you, “what can I do to improve my gut health?” What would you say?  Do you know how to improve their gut health naturally through nutrition? I am joined by Christa Smith, a Registered Dietitian, to unpack the strategies that are foundational to optimal gut health.

What you'll learn:

• How to be aware of factors such as stress, diet, lifestyle, and sleep that can significantly impact a patient's gastrointestinal well-being
• Learn to address the root causes of digestive discomfort
• Why not everyone needs to follow certain restrictive diets
• Why "cleanses" are not helpful
• Understand the difference between IBS and IBD and known trigger foods to avoid
• The importance of dietary fiber and excellent food sources to recommend
• How much caffeine is too much
