Colorectal cancers are rising among younger age groups! Just yesterday, a study was published in JAMA Oncology that higher ultra-processed food consumption increased the risk of early onset colorectal adenomas. Over half of what Americans consume are ultra-processed foods, which are higher in chemicals and lower in nutrients. This harms the microbiome, increases inflammation, and disrupts systems throughout the body. Let’s not wait until bigger problems show up and focus on ways we can better support youth! Head over to Go With Your Gut on Apple Podcast, Spotify or YouTube. Let’s keep this conversation going!

We don’t always realize how much our daily habits deplete us. Too much screen time, lack of sleep, overscheduling, and constant exposure to synthetic scents all add up — slowly draining our brain and body’s ability to recover. When we recognize these “depleting inputs,” we can start replacing them with habits that truly nourish us. Awareness is where healing begins.

Most of us avoid the topic — but your p**p tells a story about what’s happening inside. When the gut is out of balance, it often shows up first in the bathroom. Whether it’s constipation or loose stool, these are signals worth listening to. Our digestion reflects stress, food sensitivities, and the daily inputs our body is trying to manage — and learning to read those signs is the first step toward balance.

So many packaged foods wear a health halo — “whole grain,” “natural,” “good for you.” But when we read the label closely, we often find refined wheat and hidden sugars disguised under different names. It’s not about fear or perfection; it’s about awareness. When we slow down and choose real, whole foods—especially gluten-free options if our bodies need them—we give our systems a chance to feel balanced and supported. Awareness is the first step toward better nourishment.

An eating disorder doesn’t just change how we eat — it changes how we connect. Sophie opens up about how weight loss can invite the wrong kind of praise, even when someone is deeply unwell. It’s a reminder that what we see on the outside rarely tells the full story. True healing means being seen beyond appearance — and learning to speak to each other with care.

Quinn opens up about something she didn’t expect—how removing gluten eased her anger and softened her reactions. She hadn’t realized how much her temperament was being influenced by what she ate until it shifted. As her mood balanced, her relationships and sense of calm improved too. It’s a reminder that what we eat doesn’t just feed the body—it shapes how we feel and connect.

We often think of gluten intolerance as just a digestive issue, but for some people, it reaches far deeper. I’ve seen how removing gluten can calm inflammation in the brain and ease symptoms tied to ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, and even schizophrenia. The gut and brain are in constant conversation—and when that link is inflamed, our minds can’t find balance. For many, a gluten-free shift becomes the first step toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

One of the hardest parts of disordered eating is the quiet voice that says, “You’re fine — it’s not that bad.” Sophie shares how easy it was to hide behind strength and fitness, even as her body was struggling to survive. We don’t always have to look unwell to be unwell. Healing starts when we listen to what the body has been trying to say all along.

Quinn shares how she didn’t realize how much gluten was affecting her until she finally cut it out. For so long, those symptoms just felt normal—her body was always working harder than she knew. Sometimes it’s only in the absence of what’s been draining us that we understand how good we’re meant to feel.
