Ep. 65: Low Potassium = Slow Digestion? How This Overlooked Mineral Impacts Your Gut


Listen Later

If you’ve been struggling with bloating, constipation, or sluggish digestion—and you feel like nothing is working—there’s a missing piece that almost no one talks about: potassium.

Most people think of potassium for hydration or muscle cramps, but did you know it’s also essential for gut motility? If you’re low, your digestion slows no matter how much fiber or probiotics you take.

In this episode, I dive into:

✅ How potassium fuels digestion & why low levels = slow bowels

✅ Why stress, adrenal function, and blood sugar can deplete potassium

✅ The best potassium-rich foods for gut health

✅ Why HTMA testing is a game-changer for uncovering mineral imbalances
