Stop Cutting Out Foods: The Truth About Gut Health, Stress, and Your Microbiome with Dr. Heather Finley

Welcome back to the What Are You Made Of show.

It's your boy C-Rock here.

I'm with Dr. Heather Finley and she's going to share what she's made of here in a second, but we're going to get into a lot of topics here.

I'm excited to talk about, you know, look, nutrition for me has been a struggle in the past.

I got it handled now, but I've worked my butt off in the gym and running and sprinting and doing all different kinds of trying to do different things.

And until I got my nutrition in check.

I didn't see results like I wanted to.

And it's very frustrating.

And we can't out, I think this is a saying somebody came up with, I didn't come up with this, but we can't outwork a bad diet.

So we're going to be diving into this today with Dr. Heather.

Hey, listen, I want to thank you for joining me first of all, and your time you're going to spend with us today and the information you're going to pour into the audience.

Well, thanks so much for having me.

I'm excited to chat with you.

Yeah, my pleasure.

And by the way, so podcasting is, I know you have a show.

We can start there.

I kind of want to give you a little shout out for your show.

What's the name of your show?

Mine is called Love Your Gut.

Okay.

Oh,

great

name.

Look, so I have this thing, Dr. Heather, when people start a podcast, because I didn't do it right.

they should have a keyword that's searchable in the title of their podcast.

And you did.

Well,

it was by accident, but I guess I did it.

Don't say it's an accident.

Just say, between me and you, say, yeah, I knew what I was doing.

Yeah, I totally knew exactly what I was doing, just like everything else in my life.

But that's a huge hack in growing your podcast, by the way.

Yeah, so I love this because I remember as a kid, I grew up, With like nervous stomach sometimes.

If I was going to school and I was having trouble there or whatever, I'd have this problem, like this nervousness, but it would be compounded probably by some of the things I was eating or not eating.

Oh, for

sure.

You know, so good topic to talk about.

So before we get, I get off track and sometimes get into the conversation.

Let's ask this question first, Dr. Heather.

What are you made of?
