We’re talking about something many of us experience and few of us are taught to navigate - how to repair your gut after antibiotics. Antibiotics can be absolute heroes. Also, they can leave your inner ecosystem feeling a little…flattened. If you’ve noticed more bloating, weird bowel habits, lower energy, anxious edges, or even skin changes after antibiotics, this episode is for you. We’ll walk through a simple, body-led plan to support your microbiome, the gentle way.

If you want a step-by-step cooking companion to personalize what you’re eating as you heal, I’ll share details about my Eat to Listen: The Body Led Elimination Cooking Kit.
