I was honored to be a recent guest on the Children's Health Defense show, Tea Time.

Many people think gut health is just about digestion—but the truth runs deeper. From leaky gut to gluten fears to stool test confusion, we explore 10 common gut health myths, what science actually says, and how to support your gut with wisdom, not hype.
