Leslie Urbas: The Digestion Code – What Your Gut Is Really Trying to Say

In this refreshingly honest conversation, Doug Crowe sits down with registered dietitian and Navy veteran Leslie Urbas to decode what your gut is really trying to tell you—especially if you’re a woman in midlife. From gas and digestion to mindset and menopause, Leslie unpacks how emotional baggage and subconscious programming can wreak havoc on our health. Together, they explore why we need to stop labeling food as “good” or “bad,” how breath can reboot your nervous system, and why true healing starts with the words we tell ourselves.

💡 Top 5 Takeaways:

1. Your thoughts feed your gut. The way you think about food impacts how your body digests it.

2. Food isn’t moral. Dropping the “good vs. bad” mindset reduces stress and supports healthier choices.

3. Unspoken emotions can clog your system. Many gut issues trace back to suppressed feelings.

4. Midlife symptoms aren’t a life sentence. Cultural narratives—not biology alone—shape your experience.

5. Awareness is your first medicine. Healing begins when you tune in, breathe deeply, and choose consciously.
