Is Your Gut Causing Your Anxiety & Fatigue? | Melanie Murphy Richter (S3 E13)
In this episode of The FEW Podcast, a registered dietitian nutritionist and gut health specialist breaks down the powerful connection between gut health, longevity, hormones, and chronic disease. Drawing from her personal battle with IBS and years of integrative clinical experience, she explains how issues like autoimmune conditions, PCOS, thyroid disorders, inflammation, anxiety, and depression often trace back to imbalances in the gut microbiome. The conversation explores the limitations of conventional Western medicine for chronic conditions and highlights a functional, root-cause approach using personalized nutrition, specialty lab testing, and lifestyle interventions to restore digestive health and optimize long-term wellness.
Listeners will learn practical strategies for improving digestion, balancing hormones, and supporting metabolic health through a plant-forward diet, increased fiber intake, reduced ultra-processed foods, and circadian-aligned meal timing. The episode also covers topics like SIBO, hormone testing, organic acid testing, food sensitivities, adrenal health, and how animal protein intake may impact cellular aging and longevity. Whether you are struggling with IBS, interested in functional nutrition, or looking to improve gut health for overall performance and disease prevention, this episode provides actionable, science-backed insights to help you take control of your health.
