Bloating is the worst... and trust me, I’ve been there. In this episode, I’m sharing my own story with chronic bloating (and how stress turned out to be one of my biggest triggers). We’re ditching the old-school advice of cutting out entire food groups or popping endless supplements, and instead focusing on what actually works: balanced eating, mindful habits, and tuning in to what your body’s trying to tell you.

I’ll walk you through simple, doable shifts that make a huge difference, like slowing down at meals, staying hydrated in a way your gut will love, and adding gut-friendly foods that don’t cost a fortune. (Hint: probiotics aren’t just in capsules.) You’ll also hear some of my favourite, budget-friendly probiotic recipes and the stress-reducing practices that have completely changed my digestion.

I’m also giving you my free Ultimate Guide to Bloat Busting, packed with quick wins you can start using today. Think mindful eating tips, hydration hacks, and ways to keep your gut calm (even when life isn’t).

So grab your favourite mug, settle in, and get ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about bloating, stress, and what it really takes to feel good in your body.
