About this episode
In this video, Dr.G delves into the critical role of the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) in maintaining gut health. Discover how this natural rhythm of digestion helps cleanse your gut during fasting and how frequent snacking can disrupt this process, leading to issues like bloating, constipation, and heartburn. You’ll learn about the four phases of the MMC, the impact of your eating habits, and actionable tips for improving your digestive health. From avoiding snacking and practicing mindful eating to increasing fiber intake and managing stress, we cover everything you need to support your gut health.
