Alicia Hawes welcomes master herbalist and nutritional therapist Alex Mundt to discuss how holistic care can fill gaps many people experience in conventional healthcare, using digestion as the starting point for better outcomes. Alex shares her background, why Ayurveda “hit home,” and why stool quality is a key indicator of imbalance and prevention, including how Kapha, Pitta, and Vata relate to the digestive tract. They outline what a “normal” bowel movement looks like, how digestion works from mouth to elimination, and how stress and mindset around food affect digestive function. The episode covers common digestive complaints, costs associated with IBS, and accessible starting remedies like CCF Tea, hing, trikatu, and triphala, plus practical cautions about self-treating chronic issues. Alex also announces a June 6 digestion webinar and both invite listeners to follow for deeper future conversations.
