What if your gut is the key you’ve been missing in your weight and wellness journey?
Gut health is talked about a lot these days, but what does it really mean? And why does it matter so much when it comes to losing weight or simply feeling better overall?

Here’s the scoop: gut health basically means how well your digestive system is functioning. A big part of that depends on the balance of bacteria living in your gut, also known as your gut microbiome. This tiny ecosystem inside you plays a major role—it affects digestion, mood, immunity, inflammation, and yes, even your weight.

When everything is in balance, your body absorbs nutrients properly and runs more smoothly. But if that balance is thrown off, you might experience gut dysbiosis. This can disrupt nutrient absorption, cause inflammation, and even lead to something called leaky gut—where your gut lining becomes too permeable, letting things into your bloodstream that shouldn’t be there.

Here’s the catch: all of this can make losing weight tougher. Inflammation puts your body in survival mode, which means fat loss isn’t a priority. So improving gut health isn’t just about digestion—it’s about giving your body the best chance to thrive.

So today, I have Erica Gutierrez joining us. Erica is a functional registered dietitian with 20 years of experience using an integrative approach to feeling good in your body. She specializes in digging deeper to uncover root imbalances to optimize gut health and metabolic health.

In this episode, we’ll break down everything—from gut dysbiosis and leaky gut to inflammation and their effects on weight. Plus, we’ll cover practical tips like meal timing, food variety, what healthy bowel movements look like, how certain medications affect your gut, and where GLP-1 meds come into play.

Dive into the full episode to get all the details and start supporting your gut for better health, more energy, and a natural glow from the inside out.
