S3:E6 Digestion: A Fundamental of Functional Wellness

July 15 · 17 mins 35 secs
Show notes

Digestion is the star of today’s show because of its main role in functional wellness! Zoa breaks down how the way you chew, swallow, and digest your food can totally change how you feel every day.

Zoa meanders into the nitty-gritty of digestion, from the magic of stomach acid to the importance of a daily poo—yes, we’re keeping it real and a little cheeky!

Stress can mess with your digestive groove so let Zoa help you find that sweet spot for optimal health.

Grab a snack (and chew it well), and let's get into it!

Takeaways:

  • Digestion starts in your brain, and good chewing is the first step to success!
  • Stomach acid is crucial for breaking down food and keeping harmful bacteria at bay.
  • Stress can really mess with your digestion, so chill out to keep that gut happy!
  • Your small intestine's health is key for absorbing nutrients and keeping you feeling great!
  • Daily pooping is a must for good health, so don't skip that bathroom break!
  • Your gut microbiome is like a tiny army helping you digest and stay healthy, so feed it well!
