Manage episode 407410769 series 3560537
The gut is often called the “second brain” of the body because it’s responsible for so much more than digestion. If you’ve ever struggled with low energy, lack of concentration, or acne, there’s a good chance that those symptoms stem from somewhere in your GI tract.
In my conversation with gut health dietitian Jillian Smith, she breaks down exactly what gut health is and highlights common ingredients and lifestyle choices that can trigger imbalances. We talk about the power of functional medicine and different holistic approaches to healing. Jillian also gives insight into her own gut health journey and shares why she’s so passionate about helping other people get to the bottom of their chronic digestive issues.
