Carly Seager is a functional medicine dietician with an interest in prevention and reversal or relief from disease, through the healing power of food. This episode is so full of wisdom.

We talk about the gut brain axis and impact that food can have on mood, anxiety and energy. A global rise in autoimmune disease has a relationship with how we eat too, the gut-immune axis is so important to consider if you are at risk of autoimmune disease or if you have a diagnosis.

We cover gluten, fibre, the microbiome, the importance of detoxification and healthy bowel movements. The metabolic impact of carrying visceral fat on our cardiovascular risk and how insulin and cortisol can impact weight loss and gain. We get into nervous system regulation, stress and the relationship that we all have with food and our bodies.

This episode will hit the spot for medical and non medical people giving a beautiful framework for thinking about nutrition and wellbeing.

This densely informative episode is followed by a Part 2 coming soon talking to women's hormone health and food.
