How Gut Health Affects All Areas of Our Lives - with Rachel Scheer

If eating right and working out are all it takes to live a healthy lifestyle, then why do so many people continue to suffer and not feel their best? With there being so may opinions about health and fitness out there on social media, it can be difficult to discern what to pay attention to. While the information regarding the “right” diet might seem overwhelming, it is actually a lot more simple than we think. It all comes down to one key component of our health: the gut. Today’s guest is here to tell us all about why it is so crucial to learn about how our gut impacts every area of our lives including hormones, and even our mental health.

Rachel Scheer is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist who received her degree from Baylor University in Nutrition Science and Dietetics and became certified in functional medicine through the Kalish Institute. She began her journey as a nutritionist in bodybuilding and athletic performance, however, a couple of years into her practice she began to suffer from severe gastrointestinal dysfunction and was given the diagnosis of IBS. After countless doctor visits, thousands of dollars, and the suggestion to remove her large intestine, Rachel knew there had to be a better way. By focusing on her gut health as the root cause of her health issues, she was able to heal herself and is incredibly passionate about educating and helping others realize the huge role our gut plays in our overall health. Rachel founded her virtual functional medicine nutrition practice to help others heal and live a life of abundance.

In this episode, Rachel shares her “why” that drives her forward every day. Instead of letting her past define her and continue the dysfunction she was raised in, she used it as fuel to propel her on her mission of making the world a better place by educating others on what it takes to truly feel their best. We live in a society that does not put nearly enough emphasis on what it takes to be truly healthy and feel great. As Rachel says, we have a health industry that doesn’t pay attention to food, and a food industry that doesn’t pay attention to health. Mental issues are at an all-time high, and we are a very medicated and unhealthy society. Tune in to hear Rachel’s passion and explanation of why we need to take a root cause approach and take a look into what is going in our gut instead of trying to put bandaids on all our symptoms.
