Bloating can leave you feeling uncomfortable, puffy, sluggish, and disconnected from your body. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi explains why bloating happens, what it may be telling you, and how to start reducing it by listening more carefully to your body’s signals.
He covers the role of food triggers, meal complexity, gut health, chewing, meal timing, and digestion habits that many women overlook. You’ll also learn how to simplify meals, identify your own trigger foods, and create a more personalized way of eating that helps you feel lighter and more at ease.
If bloating has become a regular part of your week, this episode will help you understand what may be behind it and what simple changes can make a real difference.
