This episode is all about optimizing your gut health and ultimately optimizing your immune function. This is a time in everyone’s lives where we know we want a strong and healthy immune system, but may not be sure how. What’s more - this is a perfect environment for ‘quarantine snacking’ and emotional eating, which may not be the best for our gut microbiome.. especially if you’re not sure what foods to eat + avoid! I cover all of this and much more, so have a listen if this sounds like you.
In this episode:
-Quarantine snacking & emotional eating
-Being compassionate with your coping strategies
-Gut microbiome + COVID
-Foods to eat & Foods to avoid right now
