In this episode, I talk with Maggie Awad, a functional sports medicine nurse practitioner, about how gut health affects performance, energy, and recovery. We explore the connection between the gut and the brain, why good digestion matters, and how issues like inflammation or poor nutrient absorption can impact focus, sleep, and overall health.
We also break down topics like amino acids, the gut microbiome, and lab testing in a simple and practical way. Maggie shares easy habits that can support recovery and lower stress, including eating seasonal foods, using breathwork, reducing blue light exposure, and creating more time for rest and healing.
