Episode 186: Desiree Nielsen & What's Good For Your Gut?

 

“You have to tackle gut health from all sides. You got to sleep, move your body, and boy do you have to eat fiber.”

-Desiree Nielsen

 

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the amazing Desiree Nielsen. Desiree is a Registered Dietician, Podcast Host, and Bestselling Author of Eat More Plants and Good For Your Gut. We talk about how she became interested in gut health, the most common digestive issues people struggle with, how important digestion is to overall health, what foods to eat to heal your gut, why gluten is most likely not your problem, why the food might not be the problem but rather how we perceive it, why fiber is crucial to a healthy gut, whether fermented foods help or hurt your gut, the role leaky gut plays in disease, why we should not fear soy, and all about her latest book Good For Your Gut.
