ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Still Bloated Even Though You're "Doing Everything Right"? Here's What's Actually Getting in the Way
If you're buying the supplements, drinking your water, and still dealing with bloating, irregular bathroom habits, or reacting to foods that shouldn't bother you — this episode is for you. Jensen, Lacey, and Kira break down the three most overlooked basics that are actually running your gut health, no cleanses, functional tests, or intense protocols required.
In this episode:
- Why you can eat perfectly clean and still have terrible digestion if you're stressed while eating — and the actual physiology behind "rest and digest"
- The mineral imbalances almost everyone has (and why chugging plain water can still leave you dehydrated)
- Why "eating healthy" salads might actually be leaving you under-fibered and under-fed
- The undereating trap that keeps women stuck in a bloat-restrict-bloat cycle
- Simple, practical steps to fix all three — starting today
Most people don't need a gut protocol or a cleanse. They need to nail the basics. Try these three things for 30 days before writing them off as "too simple" — they move the needle more than any supplement stack.
