#048 - Gut Health - Healing from the Inside Out with Karen (Zuzu) Ziemer Armes

In this powerful episode of the Aligned Strength Podcast, I sit down with Karen (ZuZu) Ziemer Armes of Lilly Fields Center to dive deep into nutrition, gut health, and gluten — a topic that is incredibly personal to me as someone with a wheat allergy. We break down what gut health really means, the difference between a wheat allergy, gluten sensitivity, and celiac disease, and how chronic inflammation impacts everything from energy and workouts to hormones and mental clarity. We also discuss the gut-brain connection, practical gluten-free living, and simple steps you can take today to start supporting your body from the inside out. If you’ve ever struggled with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, stubborn inflammation, or just feel like your body isn’t responding the way it should — this episode is for you. Because alignment doesn’t just happen in the gym. It starts in the gut.
