Digestive Enzymes: Powerful Natural Solutions for Bloating & Gas You'll Love
Ever feel bloated after a healthy meal? I’ve been there. In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most overlooked (and life-changing!) tools for gut health: digestive enzymes. I’ll share what they do, how to tell if your body is running low, and why they can make all the difference when clean eating still leaves you feeling “off.”
We’ll break down enzyme types, what to look for in a supplement, and how our ancestors got enzymes naturally from food, bitters, and good ol’ chewing.
