You can do everything “right” and still not see progress if your gut isn’t working. I’ve seen how easy it is to focus on treatments and still feel like something is missing, especially after cancer. This conversation brings gut health back to where it belongs: as the foundation that supports everything else in the body. I’m joined by Carley Smith, a nutritional therapist and certified GAPS practitioner who rebuilt her health after a Lyme disease diagnosis, by turning to food as medicine and focusing on gut healing. That experience now shapes the way she helps others approach the connection between the gut microbiome, immune system support, and long-term resilience. You’ll get a clear understanding of how approaches like the GAPS diet and simple gut healing foods can support digestion, especially if you’re dealing with bloating, fatigue, or food sensitivities. There’s also a strong emphasis on making this way of eating practical and accessible, not overwhelming. If you’ve been trying to move forward but still feel stuck, this gives you a place to start that actually makes sense. You’ll learn: [00:00] Introduction [03:11] The illness that led Carley to her gut health journey [11:41] What the GAPS diet is and why it starts with meat stock instead of bone broth [21:07] The biggest misconception about the diet most people get wrong [27:04] Your body's own signals for knowing when the gut has actually healed [37:24] Who the diet is really for, including people coming out of chemo [41:07] A practical day of GAPS-style eating before committing to the full protocol [46:49] Why most gut healing falls apart before it even starts [51:58] Carley's free gut reset and the meal delivery service built around it Resources…","meta_description":"Share this episode with someone who's struggling with gut issues.
