Marci Evans, RD is our guest today and we’re digging deep into the intersection of gut symptoms, mental health, chronic stress on the body and our relationship with food. You don’t have to have a diagnosable eating disorder, or severe disordered eating to experience gut issues that stem from a complicated relationship with food.  

Marci also guides the conversation around clients who feel like they can’t break up with diet culture or elimination protocols because they have gut issues, and how she helps people overcome this roadblock in her practice. And because we’re all big nerds, we’re diving into even more about the gut-brain connection and the vagus nerve, and how they are impacted by stress around food and food rules.
