Visiting the grocery store may not be anyone’s favorite weekly event, but the decisions we make while there can have significant impacts on our overall health. And if we want to understand what it takes for us to eat a gut-friendly diet, then we must first learn how to shop for gut-healthy foods. In this week’s mini-sode, we talk about why grocery shopping with intention is so important, as I highlight some of the pitfalls that we may stumble into if we shop (and therefore eat) like the majority of Americans today. I share some of my favorite strategies for perusing the aisles with your gut health in mind, and how using these simple but effective strategies can really go a long way in improving our wellbeing.
