Overfed & Under Chewed
In this solo session, Matt unpacks the often-overlooked but critical first step of digestion: chewing.

In this episode, we dive into:
The rise of the $1.6B functional beverage industry
How chewing activates brain signals for satiety
The link between poor mastication and inflammation
Why your microbiome craves whole, fibrous food
The real difference between juicing an apple and eating one
Whether you're a health enthusiast or just trying to reduce bloating, gas, or digestive issues, this episode is your reminder to slow down, chew more, and let your mouth do its job.
