Healing your gut starts with one simple step: removing the things that get in the way.

In this episode, I dive into the first stage of the 4R's of Gut Health - Remove. This phase is all about creating the right environment for healing by taking out irritants that inflame your gut and disrupt your hormones.

I explain how eliminating common triggers like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, gluten, and ultra-processed foods can calm inflammation, balance your gut bacteria, and give your digestive system a much-needed break. You'll also learn why balancing your microbiome is more effective than trying to "wipe out" bad bacteria - because a thriving gut pushes out the rest naturally.

I also share how stress and cortisol tie into this process, especially for midlife women. Chronic inflammation and high cortisol can throw your hormones out of balance, affecting everything from digestion to mood and energy. Understanding this link helps you make smarter choices that truly support your wellbeing.

Plus, I share a real success story from a client who removed caffeine and processed snacks during the 28 DayTransformation Programme - and found her energy, focus, and digestion transformed in just a few weeks.

✨ Fab Female Gem: your body can't heal if it's constantly being poked - give it space to rest and it will do the work for you.
