Why you're bloated and puffy all the time, and how to fix it

<p>If you regularly feel bloated, puffy, or like your body changes dramatically from one day to the next, this episode is for you. I dive into the difference between digestive bloating and water retention, why puffiness doesn’t automatically mean inflammation, and the everyday factors that may be contributing to how you feel.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I cover:</p><ul><li>How inconsistent eating, under-fueling, and changing your carbohydrate intake can affect water retention</li><li>The role of stress, intense exercise, poor recovery, and inadequate sleep</li><li>How ultra-processed foods, alcohol, fiber, and hydration can affect bloating</li><li>Why eliminating gluten, dairy, or other foods shouldn’t automatically be your first step</li><li>How your menstrual cycle and perimenopause can change your digestion, appetite, and scale weight</li><li>Why some bloating and day-to-day fluctuation is completely normal</li></ul><p><br></p><p>The goal isn’t to maintain a perfectly flat stomach every hour of every day. It’s to understand what your body may be responding to, recognize repeatable patterns, and address the habits you can actually control.</p><p></p><p><br></p><p><strong>➡️ To learn about working with me, check out </strong><a href="https://www.kassiebethfitness.com/coaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Stuck to Sculpted Coaching</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>📲 Follow me on </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/kassiebethfitness" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Instagram</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
