Kaely McDevitt is a dietitian specializing in women’s health, specifically gut and hormone health and we’re digging deep into some neutral nutrition science today. But first, we’re starting off by chatting about why we have such a big disconnect with our bodies and our relationship with food.
We also discuss:
- Seasons of stress
- How different stress inputs (even ones that you might not necessarily consider stressful) can throw off our health, our brains, and our hormones
- Practical tips & tools we can use to help manage those stresses – the “stressful season toolkit”
- What exactly happens to the body when our stress bucket is overflowing?
- How gut health can impact your stress, and how your stress can impact your gut health
- The gut-brain connection and the functions of the vagus nerve (the information superhighway between your gut/digestive system and the brain)
- Signs your gut bacteria might be out of balance
