Welcome to episode 11 of the RegenBiome podcast. Today’s episode is about a new approach to mental health, how you can start supporting your brain today and the future generation of practitioners in the mental health space. I had the honour to interview my incredible mentor, friend Brendan Vermiere known as the holistic savage on instagram. Back in 2020 I was exposed to Brendan’s work at an online Functional Conference and was one of his students in his metabolic solutions year long mentorship. I now have the honour of being part of his incredible team of practitioners as well as being part of Class 1 of the FMHP Program.    Guest: Brendan Vermeire Info Brendan is a Mental and Metabolic Health Scientist & Researcher, Functional Medicine Educator, Writer,and Speaker.
