Ever heard the saying “you are what you eat”? What if I told you, this statement is not 100% correct. In today’s episode, Gianna breaks down why this common health mantra isn’t the whole truth—especially if you’re navigating an autoimmune health journey. Despite following every diet tip, taking countless supplements, and seeing multiple practitioners, are you still not feeling better? The missing link might be one layer deeper...
Gianna reveals why digestion is the essential first step to making food your medicine. This episode goes beyond typical diet advice, empowering you to take back control by supporting your body’s ability to fully process and benefit from the food you eat.Key Takeaways:
1. Why “You Are What You Digest” Is the Real Truth: If your digestion isn’t strong, even the cleanest diet can fuel inflammation rather than reduce it.2. The “Gordon Ramsay” Analogy: Think of your body like a strict chef. Nutrients that aren’t fully digestible are “rejected” and can contribute to inflammation, protecting your body from harm.
3.*Breaking Free from the Diet Trap: Many autoimmune journeys focus on food elimination and supplements, but without addressing digestion, these efforts can fall short.
4. Next Steps for True Healing: Discover why healthy digestion is the foundational layer that can unlock the benefits of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle.
5. Upcoming Workshop, Tomorrow Wednesday October 30th: Gianna’s upcoming workshop, *Three Ways Inflammation Impacts Your Ability to Lose Weight*, goes deeper into the relationship between digestion, inflammation, and metabolism.
Quotes from the Episode:
- “Food is medicine only when your body can digest it properly.”
- “You’re not broken; you may just need to go one layer deeper.”
- “It’s not about what you eat—it’s about what you digest.”
