EP 45 – Eat This: Probiotics and the Microbiome

Did you know that you’re more bacteria than human? It’s an odd thing to think about. Well it likely wouldn’t have popped into your mind as your next thought right?! And really it’s kind of ewwww at the same time. Can you believe that we are outnumbered ten-to-one, bacteria to human cells. And we live together in harmony, most of the time. This incredible abundance of bacteria has profound impacts on our body’s physiology. Everything […]

EP 44 – Eat This: Grocery Shopping Habits

Grocery shopping isn’t what it once was. You know, that stop and shop-on-the fly, making a pit stop on your way home from work to get dinner fixings for that night’s meal. Well that changed because of COVID in ways that we could never have imagined. First, the fear of going to the grocery store, being told to stay at home and only go out when necessary. Long wait times for the new online shopping, […]

EP 41 – Eat This: Genetic Tests for Health and Epigenetics

Our genes carry the information that determines our traits, those features or characteristics that are passed on to us from our biological parents. Our genes drive our health, even influence the food that you prefer to eat, and carry information that makes you who you are and what you look like. For instance, do you have freckles like my kids? Yep, my genes showed up in my girls with freckles – my youngest even has […]

EP 40 – Eat This: Live Consultation

I have an enquiring mind. I want to know why… why this pain happens, why that symptom shows up and where did it all start? I’m fascinated by health and the human body. Since I started my career in nutrition in the late ‘90’s I have always consulted with clients one-on-one, doing a deep dive into their health issues, the symptoms that are affecting their quality of life and guided them on their health journey, […]

Well, possibly not YOU whose ears I’m speaking into right now, but others out there who have listened to the past two episodes, multiple times.

Burning, bloating, belching, burping, and bumps. That’s what we are going to talk about today.

Because, believe it or not there are nutrient deficiencies associated with them all.   For anyone […]
