The Happy Gut Podcast

Weight loss is always a hot topic in the health and wellness world. And while how many pounds you weigh isn’t the only or even the best indicator of health, obesity IS an epidemic, so it’s important to live as healthy of a lifestyle as possible to avoid that! But weight loss is not a quick fix - if someone is trying to sell you that, it’s usually too good to be true. What really helps is taking care of your gut health & being consistent with it. In this episode, I talk about the dangers of obesity & too much visceral fat, the theories associated with weight, and how gut health and weight issues or obesity affect each other.
