Your gut talks to you every single day. Through your skin, your sleep, your mood, even your afternoon cravings. Most of us just haven't learned how to listen yet.

In this episode of The Tea on Wellness, I'm sharing what gut health actually means,  not the oversimplified version, but the real picture. How your digestion connects to your immune system, your mood, your skin, and your energy. And why in Ayurveda, we've always known that everything begins with Agni, your digestive fire.

I also share a story from a trip to India years ago where I got sick the moment I landed, and how my aunty fixed me with nothing but ginger, turmeric, and fennel brewed into a simple tea. That morning changed the way I think about the gut forever.

In this episode:

Why 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut, not your brain, and what that means for your mood and sleep

How 80% of your immune system lives in your digestive tract

What Agni is and why weak digestive fire is at the root of bloating, fatigue, and skin flare-ups

The story of Maria from Huntington Beach and what shifted for her in two weeks

Two teas we reach for most at the shop for gut support, our Optimal Gut Health blend and Organic Pu-erh  and exactly why they work

Three small daily practices that start helping your gut from day one
