In this episode, I chat with Rachel Montero, a nurse practitioner and holistic gut health specialist, about the powerful connection between gut health, anxiety, and overall well-being. Rachel opens up about her own experience with gut issues and anxiety, and how it led her to move from conventional to functional medicine to better understand the mind-gut connection.

We dive into how restrictive diets can impact both the body and mind, what happens to digestion when we’re in fight-or-flight mode, and how hormonal changes can influence gut health—especially for women.

Rachel also shares some really practical tips for supporting your gut, like mindful eating, preparing foods for easier digestion, and activating the vagus nerve to calm your nervous system.

It’s a conversation packed with insights and gentle reminders for anyone who’s struggled with gut issues, health anxiety, or simply wants to feel more balanced and connected in their body.
