The Gut Reset Mini Series, Ep 4: Your Gut Health Questions, Answered
EPISODE #81 — FEB 27, 2026
In this fourth and final episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I’m answering listeners’ questions. We discuss how stress, hormones, travel, sleep, and routine changes can impact your gut. We talk about why symptoms can flare even when you feel like you’re doing “everything right” and what certain reactions can mean (like bloating, fiber intolerance, probiotics making things worse). I also share how gut health connects to skin and hormonal acne. If you’ve been following along with the series and suspect your gut is part of what’s driving your symptoms, this episode will give you a lot of answers.
