Hey, it's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Today you have an appointment with one of the most trusted gut health doctors in the world, Dr. Rajshri Nambudrapod. Dr. Rajshri is here to give you her comprehensive guide to what truly causes gut health issues and her protocol for healing them for good. She's going to begin by explaining that there are four things you must understand about your gut in order to heal it. She will teach you that your gut is connected to your brain, your immune system, your metabolism, your mood, your skin, your energy, basically every single part of your body. So whether you deal with IBS or bloating or cramping or burping or acid reflux or you're tired of feeling backed up for days or you just have symptoms you can't figure out, you are going to love this episode. And she's not just going to teach you from her experience as a medical doctor. She's also going to teach you from her personal experience because she herself has struggled with debilitating gut issues and that experience fundamentally changed the way she understands the gut, the way she treats her patients, and it shapes the protocol and the recommendations she is going to share with you today. It's so easy to feel powerless, but today Dr. Rashri is here to show you how to understand gut health and heal your gut once and for all. When I think of fall, I think of a couple of things. I think of the first school drop off, the first sweater weather day, the first chilly evening around the fire pit, and our sponsor, LL Bean. For over a hundred years, LL Bean has been part of these traditions, crunching leaves and mane made bean boots, cheering from the sidelines and scotch plaid flannel, and walking the dog in a rugged field coat. Go grab the layers you love and the people you love and get outside. Visit LL Bean dot com to shop the fall collection. LL Bean, be an outsider. The Mel Robbins podcast is brought to you by Expedia.
