Why You Feel Bloated — And What To Do About It with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi

Episode 280 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Description

Bloating can make you feel heavy, uncomfortable, and completely off. In Episode 280, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi breaks down what bloating actually means, why it happens, and how to start reducing it by understanding your body instead of just masking the symptoms.

He explains how food choices, meal complexity, eating speed, digestive stress, microbiome health, and even the order you eat foods can all shape how your body feels after a meal. You’ll also hear practical strategies to help you identify your biggest triggers and build meals that leave you feeling lighter, cleaner, and more energized.

If you’ve been dealing with regular bloating, sluggish digestion, or that “too full” feeling after eating, this episode will help you simplify your approach and listen to the feedback your body has been giving you all along.
