Still Tired, Bloated, and Over It? You’re Not Broken—You’re Just on Someone Else’s Plan | Ben Cant on What Your Body Actually Needs
Manage episode 506963033 series 2776530
Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things yet your body still isn’t responding? This conversation with biochemist and health coach Ben Cant is exactly what you need to hear.
Ben shares how his own journey out of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia led him into the world of fitness, nutrition, and now, deep consultative health work. We talk about everything from overlooked blood markers to the impact of stress on digestion, why creatine is having a moment in women’s health, and the patience it takes to truly rebuild a gut.
I love how Ben blends the science with the practical, showing us why there’s no one-size-fits-all plan and how small, intentional shifts can be the most powerful. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode will bring clarity and direction.
Key Takeaways
Your Body is Unique – There’s no universal protocol; what works must be tailored to your needs and stage of life.
Blood Work Matters – Simple nutrient deficiencies like zinc, magnesium, or vitamin D are often missed in standard testing.
Creatine Isn’t Just for the Gym – Women benefit from creatine for fertility, hormone balance, cognitive health, and beyond.
Gut Health is Foundational – Healing digestion supports hormones, immunity, and overall resilience, but it’s a gradual process.
Stress Impacts Digestion – Cortisol and nervous system dysregulation directly affect how well we absorb and tolerate food.
Plan A, B, and C for Nutrition – Having backup strategies keeps you on track even when life doesn’t go as planned.
