In this week’s episode, Jessica is joined by fellow Clinical Nutritionist Christine Smith from The JCN Clinic to unpack the 14 most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight and why these missteps often make it harder to see lasting results.
From calorie counting confusion and overly restrictive diets to excessive cardio and neglecting strength training, Jessica and Christine explore how these common traps can slow metabolism, trigger rebound weight gain, and leave you feeling frustrated. They also dive into the deeper factors that often go unchecked.
You’ll hear why focusing on long-term change, balanced nutrition, sleep, and stress support is far more effective than short-term restriction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to move past diet culture myths and understand what truly supports sustainable, healthy weight loss.

Episode 158: The Stress-Gut Connection: How Stress Disrupts Digestion & What to Do About It
Welcome to The JCN Clinic Podcast Show, where Clinical Nutritionists Jessica Cox and Christine Smith from The JCN Clinic dive deep into the real-world issues they see every day in practice.
In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most overlooked yet powerful drivers of gut dysfunction: stress. Honestly, who isn’t stressed right now? But here’s the thing: while most people are quick to ask what to eat, they often overlook how deeply stress is impacting their gut health, digestion, and even their ability to absorb that good food.
In this episode Jessica & Christine explore:
- How stress affects gut function - from low stomach acid and appetite dysregulation to candida overgrowth and microbial imbalances
- Tangible, clinically-backed steps you can take to reduce the impact of stress on your digestive system
- Supportive practices around sleep, mindful eating, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and more
Whether you're navigating chronic gut issues or just want to optimise your digestion, this one’s for you. Tune in for practical tools, clinical insights, and a reminder that your gut isn’t just about food. It’s about how stress is affecting your body every day, especially your gut.
