E289: Fatigue, Bloating, Weight Gain? What Your Body Might Be Trying to Tell You

In this episode:

I explore new research on how the combination of chronic stress and late-night eating may significantly increase digestive issues and negatively impact gut microbiome diversity. I break down the findings and share why aligning your meals with your circadian rhythm and supporting your body’s “rest and digest” state can make a meaningful difference in your gut health.

I also revisit my “Is This Normal?” quiz and walk you through four commonly overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper imbalances in the body. From facial puffiness and post-meal hunger to undigested food and irregular cycles, I explain how these signs may be connected to hormones, digestion, and blood sugar regulation.
