Summary: Everyone seems to be trying to “fix their gut” these days, from probiotics and kombucha to food eliminations and supplement routines. Yet many people still feel bloated, tired, or low in energy even when they are eating well. The real question is not just what we eat, but whether our gut is actually able to digest, absorb and use the nutrients we give it.

In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I am joined by Ashley Koff, a registered dietitian, integrative nutritionist, author of the upcoming book, Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health—GLP-1 Shot or Not and founder of The Better Nutrition Program. Together, we cut through the noise around gut health.

We explore how gut imbalances often show up beyond digestion, through skin, mood, energy, sleep, and hormones. We also talk about how learning to notice the body’s signals can lead to long term gut health.

Summary: Expert Dietitian Drops Truth About Health You Have Never Heard! This is not another “eat better, try harder” talk. This is about understanding the root causes that traditional healthcare often overlooks—imbalanced systems, overwhelmed biology, nervous system stress, and years of misinformation. You’ll discover why your symptoms are not random. They’re signals. And once you learn to decode them, everything changes. We break down how infobesity (information overload) creates anxiety and paralysis, how misdiagnosis happens even with “healthy” lab results, and why the right information can restore hope when you feel like you’ve tried everything. You’ll learn why it’s not about eating less—it’s about giving your body the resources it needs to function. Why trauma and stress rewrite your biology. Why you need a squad. And why a true health awakening begins with one decision: choosing yourself.
