Love & Guts

255 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratings

This platform is designed to speak to those who value living a full and magnificent life. Your host Lynda Griparic is a naturopath, nutritionist and yoga teacher with an avid and sometimes awkward interest in all things digestive health, especially bowel movements and the intelligent communication systems that exist in the body.

Love and Guts explores all things mind-set, brain health, digestive health, pooping patterns, connection, communication and so much more. It's content may challenge you and at times it may get a bit whacky but never too bio-hacky as I like to keep things practical and accessible to all.

You will hear strategies that you'll want to apply pronto and that's awesome but please remember that information on this podcast channel is NOT designed to replace the advice from your health practitioner.

If you would like some support with your health challenges or goals get in contact. https://bit.ly/2eJLddP
