🎧 Why Eating ‘Healthy’ Still Leaves You Bloated, Tired, and Foggy

You can eat the cleanest diet in the world…

Hit your protein.

Take the supplements.

Do “all the right things.”

And still feel bloated, tired, foggy, inflamed, and stuck.

In this episode of the Business Athlete Podcast, we break down digestive health and digestive optimization in a practical, system-by-system way — because digestion is the gatekeeper of energy, hormones, brain function, immunity, and performance.

You’ll learn why gut issues aren’t just about what you eat — but how your body processes and absorbs food, and why digestion must be fixed before fat loss, hormone optimization, or mental clarity can truly work.

We cover:

• Why digestion starts in the mouth, not the stomach
• The role of stomach acid, enzymes, and bile in nutrient absorption
• How stress and the vagus nerve shut digestion down
• Why reflux, bloating, and food sensitivities are often signals, not diagnoses
• The importance of the gut lining and immune activation
• How raw vs cooked foods affect digestive capacity
• The gut–brain connection and its impact on mood, focus, and anxiety
• Common digestive symptoms that sabotage performance without people realizing it
• When food sensitivity testing helps — and when it becomes a trap
• How to rebuild digestive capacity instead of endlessly restricting foods

This episode is for anyone who feels like their body isn’t responding the way it should — despite eating “healthy” — and wants to understand how digestion, absorption, and nervous system regulation actually work together.

If your gut is off, everything is off.

Fix digestion first — and the rest gets easier.
