Digest This

Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check. We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives. Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives.

Do you know there are actually low-carb potatoes? Do you avoid carbs because of gut issues like SIBO, IBS, or blood sugar spikes, and wish you could incorporate them back into your diet? Well, today I have Phoebe Lapine on the show, and she shares ways we can still enjoy carbs in the right way. It all comes down to preparation, quantity, and combining carbs with other foods, as well as experimenting to find what works for you. Phoebe is the cookbook author of SIBO Made Simple and has recently released her newest book, CARBivore. Phoebe has personally experienced SIBO, Hashimoto's, and several other health challenges I think we can all relate to. In this conversation, she shares some tips and tricks to help us expand our diets with carbs while still keeping blood sugar and IBS in check. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
