An ER Doctor Explains GLP-1s, Gut Motility, and the Future of Gut Health Wearables with Dr. Chad Okay","description":"In this episode, Dr. Erin sits down with Dr. Chad Okay, an ER and ICU physician and founder of SUNA. They discuss the groundbreaking intersection of clinical medicine and AI-native wearables, specifically how tracking &quot;bowel sounds&quot; can revolutionize how we understand nutrition, hormone cycles, and metabolic health. &amp;nbsp; During this episode, you will learn:  How a high-stakes ICU encounter led to the realization that gut sounds are structured data points for diagnosing health. Why the &quot;sound-to-sound&quot; ratio of your bowels shifts when you eat, and what it reveals about your metabolic efficiency. How progesterone during the luteal phase slows transit time and why data-tracking is the key to managing cycle-related bloating. Why &quot;cleaning waves&quot; (MMC) are suppressed by these medications and how to time your nutrition to avoid nausea and side effects. How the SUNA patch identifies food intolerances and your unique &quot;productivity window&quot; through real-time physiological data.  &amp;nbsp; Follow Dr. Chad on Social Media:&amp;nbsp;  Instagram:  @drchadokay  Website: www.suna.health &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community:  https:\/\/hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com\/communities\/groups\/the-hope-circle\/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https:\/\/p.bttr.to\/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https:\/\/drerinellis.com\/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https:\/\/detox.drerinellis.com\/ Watch The Free Video &quot;7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals&quot; here: https:\/\/weightloss.drerinellis.com\/ &amp;nbsp; Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dr.erinellis\/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com\/communities\/groups\/the-hope-circle\/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8&amp;nbsp; Bookmark Dr. Erin\u2019s Website:&amp;nbsp;www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here:&amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;https:\/\/booking.hopenaturalhealth.com\/widget\/form\/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Hope Natural Health Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/hopenaturalhealth.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40500835\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/40500835"}
