Welcome! In this episode of In Conversation with Christina, I dive into the complex relationship between gut health and dieting. I share my own experiences and insights into how chronic dieting and constant food restriction can lead to gut issues like bloating, constipation, and IBS. I talk about why it’s so important to understand how your digestive system works, how “diet foods” can actually harm your gut, and why food variety is essential for a healthy microbiome. I also walk you through practical steps to start rebuilding your digestive health after years of dieting—focusing on consistent eating, managing stress, and getting the right individualised support.

In this episode, I’m tackling the fear so many of us have—what if I “let myself go” if I stop controlling my food?
