Bloating Explained: What It Is and Why It Happens

In this episode of The Nutrition Science Podcast, we break down one of the most common and frustrating digestive complaints: bloating.

We start by defining what bloating is, discuss why it happens, and how to recognize the difference between bloating that’s considered normal versus bloating that might signal an underlying health issue worth paying closer attention to. We’ll also explore some of the most common contributors to bloating, from digestive factors to lifestyle influences such as diet, stress, and gut health.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of what’s going on in your body when you feel bloated, and you’ll be ready for Part 2, where we’ll dive into the practical science-based nutrition and lifestyle strategies to reduce bloating symptoms.
