Digest This: The Truth About Your Gut with Kelsey Moore

Digestive health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, impacting everything from nutrient absorption and immune function to mental health. At the heart of this system is the gut microbiome—a complex network of microorganisms that helps regulate inflammation, metabolism, and even the risk of chronic diseases. Despite its importance, digestive health is often misunderstood, with myths about probiotics, fibre, gluten, and conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease continuing to circulate widely. Kelsey Moore is a Registered Dietitian with a retail nutrition background and experience in the digestive health space. Kelsey graduated from The University of British Columbia in 2019. She started her career as a sports dietitian and then moved into the retail space where she worked as a Nutrition Operations manager for a local BC food retailer. She is currently working as the Senior Account Manager of Nutrition for the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation where she works with food and supplement brands to help deliver digestive health resources to Canadians. Kelsey is passionate about providing evidence-based information on digestive health and is currently on track to becoming a Monash FODMAP-trained dietitian. In this episode, Kelsey discusses common myths and misconceptions around digestive health.
