There are many known benefits that accompany the switch to a plant based diet, but what about the changes that come unexpectedly? For my former client, Michelle, this was the trajectory of her time working with me. There were the aspects of her health she knew she wanted to work on and indeed saw positive changes in: gut health, reflux, and weight loss. But there were also the many changes that came unexpectedly in the process: improved PMS symptoms, less joint pain, fewer aches and body stiffness. In this episode of the podcast, Michelle and I chat about her journey from meat focused meal ..read more

Have you been recommended the low FODMAP diet by a practitioner before? I have. In fact, I was told to Google it. Yes, Google it. By a Gastroenterologist, none the less. Did I follow it? Not really. Why? Because I was both overwhelming, and unconvinced that it was what I needed to solve my IBS. And thankfully,  my intuition was correct. In this episode of the podcast I chat about: - What the low FODMAP diet is - What are the flaw and benefits of it - What happens if you follow it long term - Whether or not it benefits the microbiome - What are the risks - What my preferred alternat ..read more

What most women aren't being told is that there is in fact a connection and if addressed properly, can transform the entire trajectory of your thyroid healing journey.

What are the signs and symptoms of a thyroid imbalance 3. How prevalent is Hashimoto's disease (hint: it's a lot more common than you'd think ..read more

Ever been told by your practitioner that you need to have an IgG food sensitivity test done in order to properly "heal" the gut? Or what about a microbiome specific stool test? If you're on a gut healing journey, then chances are, you've been recommended both. But is there evidence to support the fact that either are accurate or useful? On today's episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Matthew Nagra, who takes an evidence based approach to his practice as a Naturopathic Doctor. In this episode, Dr. Nagra clears the air around various gut health topics including gluten, anti-nutrients ..read more

Is it safe to feed my dog a plant based diet? What are their nutrient considerations? Aren't all dogs meant to be carnivores? Are all dog foods made the same? In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Amanda Rolat, founder and CEO of Bramble, a whole food, plant based, fresh pet food company with a focus on nutrition for dogs. Amanda left her 10 year career in law to pursue her passions for sustainable nutrition when she realized there just wasn't enough quality dog food brands on the market, let alone ones that were also plant based. And so, Bramble was born after carefully researching ..read more
