You eat pasta. You eat bread. You eat pizza. And somehow… you feel better. People say this to me all the time. The bread doesn’t bother their stomach. The pasta doesn’t leave them bloated. They feel healthier even though they feel like they’re eating more. So what’s going on? In this episode of A New Life in Italy, Samantha talks with Dr. Anna Toker, a board certified colorectal surgeon with nearly 30 years of experience studying digestive health. Dr. Toker recently traveled to Italy to explore why people here eat foods many people fear, yet still maintain better gut health and longevity. Dr. Anna Toker-transcript Together they explore the real reasons behind the “Italy effect” including slower meals, better ingredients, smaller portions, more walking, and less stress around food. You’ll learn why the Mediterranean lifestyle may be just as important as the Mediterranean diet and why slowing down might be the most powerful ingredient of all. Listener Q&A At the end of the episode Samantha answers three listener questions: • What surprised you most the first time you visited Italy? • Should you rent or buy when you first move to Italy? • What is one mistake people make when planning their move? If you’ve ever wondered why food feels different in Italy, this episode explains why. Resources Mentioned Dr. Anna Toker: Find her insights and educational content on Instagram and online.
