What is your digestion trying to tell you?


When we think about digestion, we often think about bloating, reflux or stomach discomfort. But what if digestion was about much more than your gut?


In this episode, Chinese Medicine practitioner Tania Grasseschi and I explore how digestion influences our energy, emotions, eating habits and ability to nourish ourselves.


You'll learn why stress and rushing through meals can affect digestion, how meal timing and mindful eating support overall health, and why Chinese Medicine views digestion as the foundation for both physical and emotional wellbeing.


Together, Tania and I discuss:

• Why digestion is about much more than breaking down food

• How stress and multitasking affect healthy digestion

• Why regular meals and mindful eating matter

• The role of meal timing and your body's natural rhythms

• Foods and cooking methods that support digestion

• Why nourishment extends beyond food to include rest, relationships, creativity and the five senses

• Practical ways women can care for themselves while continuing to care for others


This conversation is especially relevant for women over 40 looking for a sustainable approach to healthy eating that works with their body—not against it.
