Leslie Urbas: The Digestion Code – What Your Gut Is Really Trying to Say 26:56

26:56

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: Your thoughts feed your gut. The way you think about food impacts how your body digests it. Food isn’t moral. Dropping the “good vs. bad” mindset reduces stress and supports healthier choices. Unspoken emotions can clog your system. Many gut issues trace back to suppressed feelings. Midlife symptoms aren’t a life sentence. Cultural narratives—not biology alone—shape your experience. Awareness is your first medicine. Healing begins when you tune in, breathe deeply, and choose consciously. Want to learn more or work with Leslie?

Think your next move is writing another book? What if the real opportunity is hidden in the one you've already published? On this episode of The Author Your Brand Show , I sit down with Jim Niswonger, a former engineer who’s built a business around helping authors turn their existing content into actual revenue.

What you'll learn: • Why writing more books might be the wrong next step • How personalization makes your content feel like a one-on-one conversation • Why understanding your readers matters more than publishing more content • What it looks like to partner with someone who only wins when you do • How a strong book can work harder if it’s paired with the right system Curious if you’re a fit for Jim’s model?
