• Ep 24: Low Stomach Acid: A Hidden Cause of Chronic Bloating & Digestive Issues

  Chronic bloating, constipation and endless food sensitivities? It could be low stomach acid. In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of low stomach acid and how it's a very common underlying root cause of chronic digestive issues like burping, bloating, constipation, and food reactions. Stomach acid plays a key role in digestion. Without it, you'll struggle to digest even the healthiest foods. In this episode we'll cover signs of low stomach acid, root causes, and natural solutions so you can optimize digestion and feel your best again.       WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Low stomach acid can lead to chronic digestive issues and poor nutrient absorption. Stomach acid acts as a barrier against pathogens. Low stomach acid can cause nutrient deficiencies, especially B12. The first phase of digestion happens before you even take a bite of food. Nutrient deficiencies, especially in zinc and B vitamins, can hinder stomach acid production. PPIs, antacids, and antihistamines can exacerbate low stomach acid and make gut issues worse.

• Ep 23: All Things Birth Control: IUDs vs Oral Contraceptives vs Alternative Options with Dr. Lara Briden

  Episode 23 In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, I interview Dr. Lara Briden, a naturopathic doctor and author, to discuss women’s hormonal health, particularly focusing on birth control methods and their impacts on the body. We explore the differences between hormonal and copper IUDs, the effects of hormonal birth control on gut health, and the misconceptions surrounding hormonal regulation. Dr. Briden emphasizes the importance of understanding how these methods affect women’s health, including the suppression of natural hormone production and the potential long-term consequences of using these contraceptives. Together we explore alternative contraception options, the role of hormonal IUDs, and the effects of hormonal birth control on menstrual health and gut microbiome. The discussion also touches on endometriosis and the importance of understanding individual health needs when considering birth control options.     WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Hormonal birth control does not "balance hormones". Will we look back in a decade and ask: how did we allow women to be on birth control so regularly? Many women experience negative side effects from hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal birth control can impact gut health and nutrient absorption. Endometriosis treatment should consider more than just hormonal solutions, which includes the gut. Transitioning off of birth control can lead to various hormonal responses. Understanding individual health history is crucial when choosing birth control: not all are a good fit for everyone. A new men's birth control method is coming!       LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
