To know me, is to know I’m obsessed with staying well. Born with auto-immune conditions (that became even more challenging with adult life stress), I know first hand that wellness is a daily practice — and the more you understand the science, the easier it is to make choices about how to stay on a path towards optimal health.
I recently had the pleasure of connecting hundreds of people (virtually, of course!) with the unprecedented expert knowledge and wisdom of microbiologist, Dr. Anthony Thomas of Jarrow Formulas, Dr. Mary Pardee (Modrn Med), and Vanessa Rissetto, RD — together we shared a deep dive on what bolstering your immune system really means, while geeking out a bit on the science, which I love.
Do supplements really work?
Is there one way of eating that is better than another?
How important is digestion and what exactly does the “gut-brain” connection really mean?
What was crystal clear is there is no one thing — and once you learn about micro-organisms and how we are entirely made up of them, and what is required to digest food and fight off every day common colds or major pandemics — you just might never go another day without taking a multi-strain probiotic ever again.
Like it or not, we are under attack by an unknown virus that has the power to take anyone of us down, and unfortunately it has done so for far too many. If there was ever a time to understand the importance of how to take charge of your health, it’s now. You can find the replay here, and we look forward to going deeper on health as we navigate these wild times.
