Gut health is quickly gaining recognition as a KEY component in overall vitality, energy and wellbeing. This Episode is the first one in a new series that will explore various aspects of gut health and how it is affected by sugar. And, of course, it all starts with digestion.

Cathy begins by clarifying exactly what she means when she uses the term ‘sugar’. Then she gives a basic overview of how your body’s digestion works. You’ll hear several different ways that sugar affects the digestive system. You’ll discover how sugar alcohols are different from sugar, and what impact they have on the gut. Cathy also talks about the gut-brain axis, and why it’s considered to be the body’s ‘second brain’.
