TMHS 243: How To Improve Your Digestion WITHOUT Changing Your Diet

Published: Sept. 27, 2017, 3:29 a.m.

Digestion might be one of the most miraculous processes in the universe.

If you think about it rationally, it\u2019s a really, really strange and powerful phenomenon. Digestion is basically the process of taking something that\u2019s outside of your body, and somehow, someway, it becomes a part of you\u2026

From there, the food lives on through you in a different form. You are a walking, talking patchwork quilt of all the things you\u2019ve eaten over the years. Pretty weird, right? But it\u2019s also pretty amazing!

Now, when I say the things you\u2019ve eaten over the years, that doesn\u2019t mean that your body is still carrying cells from all of those gluten-free pumpkin muffins you ate over the holidays 2-years ago (oh, that\u2019s just me, huh?). Your body\u2019s cells are being renewed from the nutrients you give it all the time, that\u2019s why there\u2019s always an opportunity to right the ship, and make your body out of awesome stuff. But, the story doesn\u2019t just stop there\u2026

There\u2019s a lot more to digestion than the food you eat. Even if you\u2019re deciding to eat healthier food, your investment might be short-changed if you\u2019re not honoring some of the life-changing things you\u2019ll be learning about today.

Dr. Jillian Teta, the author of the hit book Natural Solutions for Digestive Health, is back on the show to help us process the little known things that make our digestion tick (beyond the food we eat!). So, if you\u2019re eating a healthy diet but still not seeing the results you want, or if you\u2019re not interested in changing your diet much at all, but still want to feel good and have strong digestive firepower, then this show will deliver the goods. Just click play, take good notes, and enjoy!
