Let me know what you thought of this episode!

February is Gut Health Month. This month I am focusing on your gut health after weight loss surgery. There is some literature around gut health and bariatric surgery, however more research is needed.

In this episode, I speak about a subgroup of nutrients called flavonoids. Flavio-what? You ask? Bear with me. These groups of nutrients are so potent in their ability to be anti inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-aging. Sounds good right?

Weight loss surgery significantly changes your gut health and bacteria population. I dive deep into the use of flavonoids as a way to change this gut bacteria to support your metabolism.
