She’s back with us! Katie Chapmon, who helped me – and hopefully you – better understand some very important information about our gut biome is here with more great information! People had questions after listening to the first episode on the gut biome and wanted more information! Katie enthusiastically shares, in this episode, more fascinating education about how our gut biome interacts with hormones, how insulin resistance and the gut biome intersect, and how medications (to include antacids) change the gut biome in ways that affect our system and our health! And there’s more! So much more! Take a listen. I hope this conversation will get your wheels turning like it has mine… and leave me wanting even more information about this powerful biological ecosystem: our gut biome!

Anyone with a chronic disease knows that a host of factors have collided to result in their having that disease. Obesity being a classic example. Addiction, hypertension and heart disease being others. In many cases, there is a genetic predisposition for a disease and factors in the environment along with personal choices lead to the disease taking root in our lives and causing us problems! While we are not responsible for the genetics that predisposed us to a particular disease, we are 100% responsible for managing our disease… or not! We impact, to a large part, the impact the disease will have on our lives. As one of my heroes, Andy Stanley says… and I paraphrase… when we are irresponsible in our lives, the consequences of our irresponsibility eventually become the Responsibility of others… most often, the people we love… and that’s usually not a good thing! Let’s talk about how to continue to take responsibility for all of the important things in our lives!

In life, when we make changes there are often things we gain and things we lose. A new job may mean the loss of some free time or the loss of a previous job you really liked. The new job also brings gains: perhaps an increase in salary, additional education about your profession, and hey – maybe even a new wardrobe! Bariatric surgery most certainly brings losses and gains into your life… the loss of some favorite foods perhaps, or the loss of the emotional comfort you got from food. The weight loss provides gains in mobility, improvements in health and the opportunity to engage in activities you enjoy! Gains and losses. Worth thinking about! And that’s what this episode is all about! Let’s get started!
