Pain in the belly can be more than food intolerances or illness. Trauma, scars, and even a life of relative inactivity can lead to discomfort, constipation, and a variety of symptoms throughout the body.
The more we learn about the gut, and the role it plays in our nervous system, the more we see the value in taking care of it, gently and lovingly.
On this episode of the EatMoveLive52 Podcast, our friend Barbara Loomis joins us to talk about the belly, surgery scars, emotions, and how you can start to heal.
