370: Dr. Leybelis Padilla on Do You Have to Be Gluten Free for Good Gut Health?

*TW: We discuss nutrition in today’s episode, if this could be triggering for you in your ED recovery, today’s episode may not be for you. If you do listen, I encourage with all nutrition information to keep an “add in” mentality when applying recommendations.

 

In today’s episode we have gut health expert and Gastroenterologist on the show, Dr. Leybelis Padilla. She is a mommy to 2, wife to a former NFL player, Latina, and a practicing Gastroenterologist. Dr. Leybelis encounters a lot of people in her line of work and after hearing from patients, family, and friends about the overwhelming amount of information online about health and wellness, she decided to build her online brand to provide everyone, especially women, with reliable and accurate information.

 

Her superpower is helping busy humans transform their gut health & wellness so they can go on to be super-humans in their families lives. Listen to learn more!

 

You can visit her Instagram and Website for more information on her work.

What inspired Dr. Leybelis to become a gastroenterologist, and how she recently transitioned to sharing more information online. The role between food and gut health. The pro’s and con’s to gut health being such a popular topic on the internet these days. Answering misconceptions about gut health including gluten free, elimination diets and food sensitivity tests.
