Go With Your Gut

About Go With Your Gut

What if the key to lifelong health begins in the gut? Go With Your Gut is a show about healing from the inside out — where science meets self-awareness and nutrition meets compassion. Hosted by functional nutritionist and dietitian Norma Flood, each episode explores the powerful connection between our gut, brain, and immune system — and how those early patterns shape everything from energy and focus to skin health and emotional balance. With a special focus on supporting youth and prevention, these conversations offer insight for every stage of life. Because when we learn to listen to our gut, healing starts to make sense.

   The Hidden Mold Problem in Our Food

   What happens when the health of our soil becomes connected to the health of our bodies? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the relationship between modern agriculture, soil health, pesticides, mycotoxins, and human health. Damone Richardson and I are joined by a panel of Triada scientists spanning regenerative agriculture, nutrition, genetics, and endocrinology: Dr. Allen Williams, Dr. Stephan van Vliet, Dr. John Fagan, and Dr. Dan Stein. The conversation explores how glyphosate and other agricultural chemicals affect soil microbiology, how disruptions in the soil microbiome can create conditions that allow harmful fungi and their mycotoxins to thrive, and how those compounds can ultimately make their way into our food supply. The panel also discusses pesticide exposure, cumulative and synergistic effects, nutrient density, the gut microbiome, genetics and individual susceptibility, and the potential long-term and intergenerational effects of environmental toxins. But this conversation isn't just about the problems. The episode also explores the potential of regenerative agriculture to rebuild soil biology, improve the resilience of farms, increase nutrient density, and create a healthier food system. From the soil beneath our feet to the food on our plates, this episode takes a closer look at how agriculture, nutrition, and human health are deeply connected, and why changing the way we farm is the impetus for better health!

   26. We Need to Talk About Energy Drinks

   Energy drinks have become a normalized part of everyday life, but what happens when high-caffeine products become deeply embedded in college campuses, athletics, and youth culture? In this episode of Go With Your Gut, I take a closer look at the growing presence of energy drinks and the ways these products are being marketed to teens and young adults. From college campus pop-ups and free samples to athletic sponsorships and social media, energy drink companies have found countless ways to make these products feel like a normal part of studying, sports, and everyday life. I break down what high doses of caffeine can do to the body, including how caffeine blocks the brain's fatigue signals and can contribute to a cycle of fatigue, poor sleep, and reaching for another stimulant. I also explore the cardiovascular risks associated with energy drinks and why serious adverse events can occur even in people without a known heart condition. We also take a closer look at what is actually inside these drinks. Ingredients like taurine, guarana, yerba mate, B vitamins, L-carnitine, ginseng, and adaptogens can create the impression of a healthy, performance-enhancing product, while the combined effects and appropriate dosing of these ingredients are not always well understood, particularly for those under 18. So if energy drinks aren't the answer to fatigue, what is? I discuss the underlying reasons we may feel tired, from sleep debt and dehydration to nutrition, blood sugar regulation, and chronic stress. I share practical strategies for building more sustainable energy through sleep, nutrition, hydration, morning light, movement, and lower-caffeine alternatives like green tea and matcha. Most importantly, this conversation asks us to look beyond the can and consider why so many young people feel like they need a stimulant just to get through the day. If you're a parent, student, athlete, educator, or anyone looking to better understand caffeine, energy drinks, and sustainable energy, this episode is for you. https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/122662 (https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/122662) https://acsm.org/exercise-energy-drinks/ (https://acsm.org/exercise-energy-drinks/) https://www.todaysdietitian.com/acsm-releases-new-recommendations-warnings-on-energy-drink-safety/ (https://www.todaysdietitian.com/acsm-releases-new-recommendations-warnings-on-energy-drink-safety/) Learn more about my work at https://www.normaflood.com/ (https://www.normaflood.com/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@normaflood)https://www.youtube.com/@normaflood (https://www.youtube.com/@normaflood) TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@normafloodrdn)https://www.tiktok.com/@normafloodrdn (https://www.tiktok.com/@normafloodrdn) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/normaflood23/)https://www.instagram.com/normaflood23/ (https://www.instagram.com/normaflood23/) Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/norma.flood.nutritionist)https://www.facebook.com/norma.flood.nutritionist (https://www.facebook.com/norma.flood.nutritionist) LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/norma-flood-ms-rd-4bbb1515/)https://www.linkedin.com/in/norma-flood-ms-rd-4bbb1515/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/norma-flood-ms-rd-4bbb1515/) Produced by Marley Huggins: https://www.marrrmedia.com/ (https://www.marrrmedia.com/)

   25. From Pain to Purpose: A Mother's Journey to Advocate for Her Son's Health

   What if your child's biggest challenges became the doorway to a whole new way of advocating for them? In this episode of Go With Your Gut, I sit down with Jamie — mother, advocate, and founder of Uniquely You Magazine — to talk about her journey navigating her son's developmental and communication challenges, and how it reshaped the way she thinks about food, advocacy, education, and possibility. Jamie shares what she learned through nutrition, gut health, and genetics as she worked to understand her son's needs. Shifting toward whole foods and removing trigger foods brought his first real breakthroughs, decreasing seizures. Targeted detoxification cleared even more behavioral symptoms. Her son's participation in Triada's PEARL study revealed harmful chemicals still hiding in his "safe" diet. Once Jamie added organic, higher-fiber foods, he came out of a fog — his eye contact improved and he became more responsive than ever before. Beyond food, we dig into what it means to meet children where they are, why not every child learns or communicates the same way, and the real obstacles families face advocating for accommodations and alternative approaches within the school system. Finally, Jamie shares how she turned her personal experience into a larger mission through Uniquely You Magazine — a publication sharing stories, resources, and opportunities within the disability community — and her vision for building even more support for families like hers. If you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or anyone wanting to better understand neurodiversity, advocacy, and the many paths to supporting it, this episode is for you.
