[Nutrition, Hormones & Gut Health] Introduction To Gut Health

Welcome to a new series on the podcast! I want to dive into everything gut health. To help share the most accurate and helpful information with you all, I have partnered with Dr. Kristina Telhami. 

Dr. Kristina is a doctor of pharmacy, certified functional medicine specialist, certified integrative health practitioner, and host of the NO BS Health podcast. After struggling with her own health issues, she’s used the past six years to research, study, and learn all about holistic living and the importance of getting to the root cause of one's health issues.

We are starting the series with an introduction to gut health. This episode will lay the foundation for what we actually mean when we say “gut issues” and also address common terms associated with these issues like IBS, IBD, leaky gut, and others. This episode will also point out some common symptoms of gut issues and offer some simple ways to start working on your gut health if you feel that this is an area of need.
