In this episode, we discuss the intricacies of gut health with the inspiring Rae Mason, a holistic health and movement coach specializing in gut health. We talk about the rarely-discussed secrets that empower you to lead a healthier, more balanced life. Rae highlighted the importance of addressing core beliefs to truly heal and improve one's lifestyle, stressing that changing behaviors without addressing underlying beliefs only leads to friction and unease.

During our discussion, Rae pointed out the common issue many face: neglecting self-care while trying to care for others, which often leads to burnout. She used the analogy of the oxygen mask on airplanes to illustrate the importance of "securing your own mask first" before helping others. This concept resonated deeply as it underscored the necessity of self-care for effective support to others.

Rae also explained the physiological impacts of stress on the gut-brain connection, detailing how chronic stress can lead to significant health issues like inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and hormonal imbalances. To wrap up, Rae offered practical advice for listeners on initiating their journey towards better health. She advocated for starting with small, manageable changes, particularly in diet, by incorporating more whole foods and reducing processed foods.

This conversation not only shed light on the critical role of gut health but also equipped listeners with strategies to improve their overall well-being by aligning their mind, body, and spirit.
