Most midlife women have gut issues they ignore, accept as normal, or just try to quietly cope with. And they may avoid group exercise or social engagements because of it. If you too are doing either of those or limiting your food intake, avoiding eating instead of finding the root cause of the issue, this is your episode. 

To deal with gut issues I have a treat for you in this episode, one of my favorite gut health gurus is back. His second book is coming out soon (at the time of this release) and it’s a doozy. Too bad for him and soo good for us. You’ll hear him describe in our chat how he’s written it and we’re not kidding or teasing by the title of this episode. He’s made it just about as personal as he can without seeing you in person and giving you lab tests. 

The right exercise is also great for gut health. If you’re not doing something yet, now is the time, I’ll link here to the 5 Day Flip. Small steps, easy to manage and say yes to!
