30: How Dieting Is Secretly Damaging Your Gut Health (Do THIS Instead)

If you've been struggling with gut issues like bloating, constipation, gas or food sensitivities, but you're also stuck in the binge-restrict cycle, this video is your gentle wake-up call.

Here’s the truth most gut-healing tips miss: restrictive dieting and constant food stress actually wreck your gut health.

Your digestive system isn’t just about food. It’s deeply tied to your nervous system. When your body is stuck in a stress response due to dieting, restricting, skipping meals, or food anxiety, your digestion slows, inflammation spikes and bloating worsens - even when you're eating "healthy."

In this episode, I’m walking you step-by-step through:

🌱 Why dieting causes gut issues (hint: it’s not just about what you eat, but how your body feels about eating)

🌱 How to restore digestive rhythm and trust without more rules or overwhelm

🌱 Simple, nervous-system-friendly strategies for gut healing

You don’t need another gut reset or stricter food rules. You need gentle consistency and self-compassion.
