Cirujana digestiva explica por qué tienes barriga y qué puedes hacer para reducirla

Why does your belly stay the same even though you eat healthily? It's not always fat. It's not always an intolerance. And it doesn't always depend solely on what you eat. In this episode, we talk with Andrea Molina, a general and digestive surgeon, about diastasis recti, the abdominal wall, bloating, digestion, fertility, inflammation, metabolic health, and longevity. We discuss what really happens when diastasis recti develops, what symptoms it can cause beyond aesthetics, how it's diagnosed, what exercises can worsen it, and when it can be treated with physical therapy or requires surgical evaluation. We also address the relationship between the abdominal wall, the pelvic floor, and the digestive system, and why some people may experience discomfort, constipation, a feeling of weakness, or a belly that doesn't change even when they watch what they eat. In addition, we talk about: — How to know if what you have is diastasis recti, bloating, or abdominal fat. — Which digestive symptoms we shouldn't normalize. — How obesity and inflammation affect fertility. — What is the relationship between digestive health and egg or semen quality? — What tests and background information should we know to prevent colorectal cancer? — Why maintaining muscle mass is key to reaching old age in good health? — Which habits have the greatest impact on digestion, metabolism, and longevity? An episode to understand that the abdominal wall is not just about aesthetics and that taking care of your abdomen can influence how your entire body functions. Let us know in the comments if you've ever felt that your belly doesn't change even though you eat well or exercise. The full episode is available on YouTube and Spotify.
