Episode 93: Gut Health with Kelsey Bailey, MS, RD, CSSD, CSCS
Kelsey Bailey is a performance dietitian and a repeat guest! You can check out her previous episode and bio here.
On this episode, Kelsey and I spoke about the complexities of the gut and how it impacts overall physical and mental health. One of the major take-homes we'd love for you to internalize is that omeprazole is NOT a long-term solution to belly discomfort! Also, eat your fruits and veggies, please.
So what, now what?
There are solutions to bloating, gas, discomfort, and GERD. Attention to your lifestyle can help and a dietitian like Kelsey can assist you!
Kelsey's top gut health tips:
1-Slow down and CHEW your food
2-Take 3 breaths
3-Eat 80% whole foods
4-Diversify your diet
5-Drink adequate water (0.5-1 x your body weight in pounds)
6-Exercise
7-Self-inventory your stress
8-Pay attention and be mindful
9-Consider a Squatty Potty
