Episode description

Everyone online’s talking about “gut health,” but no one seems to agree on what it actually means. Marianna and Tony break down the science in plain English, explaining what your microbiome does, how it connects to your brain, and what really impacts your digestion and mood. They cover everything from fiber and probiotics to processed foods and the truth about “leaky gut” and gut health tests. No detox teas or gimmicks here, just real research simplified for normal people.
