Hey rebel. Let’s be real, no one wants to talk about poop. Or gas. Or bloating. Or… binge eating. But so many of us are silently struggling with both food AND gut issues, and they’re more connected than you might think. In today’s episode, I’m joined by gut health specialist and registered dietitian Dr. Heather Finley to break the silence and unpack how things like chaotic eating, restriction, and disordered patterns can impact digestion, even if you think you’re eating enough overall. We talk about: Why your gut needs consistency and enough food to function well How restriction (even unintentional!) can affect your bowel movements and tolerance to fiber The nuanced role of meal spacing without falling into diet culture traps Why poop is actually a valuable signal from your body (yep, we went there!) Common gut health myths (greens powders, probiotics, and carnivore diets included!) This episode is packed with validation and insight, especially if you’re juggling digestive struggles while working on healing your relationship with food.
