¿Antojo o ansiedad? Dime qué se te antoja y te diré qué le falta a tu intestino

Have you ever been feeling fine… and then suddenly had an intense craving for something sweet or salty? We often think it's a lack of willpower, but the truth is that cravings have much more to do with what's happening inside our bodies than with simple discipline. In this episode of Bendita Nutrición (Blessed Nutrition), Beatriz Boullosa and Nicolás Mier y Terán explore the relationship between cravings, gut health, and our emotions. Why do we sometimes feel such a specific need to eat chocolate, chips, or something sweet? Is it really hunger… or is it our brain seeking dopamine to cope with stress, anxiety, or fatigue? Throughout the conversation, they explain how the gut-brain axis works, why an imbalanced gut microbiota can intensify cravings, and how glucose spikes can lead us into a cycle of increased hunger and food cravings. They also discuss the difference between true hunger and cravings, how to identify the emotional triggers that lead us to seek out certain foods, and what simple changes can help stabilize energy, improve satiety, and make more mindful food choices. In addition, they share the key role that fermented foods, fiber, and protein play in maintaining a healthy gut microbiota, reducing blood sugar spikes, and supporting both digestive health and mood. This episode is for you if you feel like cravings appear out of nowhere, if you struggle to understand why you always crave something sweet when you're stressed, or if you want to learn how to take care of your gut health to have a more balanced relationship with food. 🎧 Follow your go-to nutritionists on social media: @nicolasmieryteran and @beaboullosa.
