GUT TALK with Jill & Jenna

Latest Episodes:

ARE YOU ACTUALLY HEALTHY!? How to evaluate your health and stop falling victim to marketing traps Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

Today's conversation was inspired by our last podcast episode about metabolic health. As we talked through this, we realized there was a large gap between facts and what our society thinks is "healthy" based on what we've been told through the media, marketing and the influence of our family/friends. What we've discovered is that no one is talking about health markers, so we are diving into it today. Get ready to join us in a candid conversation about:

How marketing and the media has influenced us
What we are told health looks like
What it means to listen to your body
Questions to ask yourself to determine how healthy you are
Signs of a healthy body
What is your metabolism (in digestible terms)
