Research is starting to show that our gut health plays a large role in our overall health, mental health and happiness.
This week on the podcast, I chat with Gut Health Expert and Nutritionist Donna Monthei about why our gut health matters and why so many of us may need to take a look at what our gut health really is.
Western medicine tends to treat the symptoms of gut health without a focus on what is causing the issue or how to increase the good bacteria in our guts in order to avoid problems going forward. Donna focuses on helping people to avoid problems rather than deal with symptoms they may be thinking are 'normal' for them and their health.
Donna shares with us some things we should all be doing to increase our overall gut health and shares her personal story of what led her to this career path.
