This time we invited Dr. Davis back to explain why he feels that Health Coaches are the perfect healthcare practitioners to help unwell humans get to the root cause of their health issues.

He also dives deep into how to get the cardiac help you need, the new and unconventional approaches to heart disease prevention, and how the intestinal microbiome is tied to so many health outcomes. Erin and Laura also ask Dr. Davis a handful of the questions you, the listener, had about the intestinal microbiome.   To you, health coaches out there: do yourself a favor and get a copy of Dr. Davis’ book Super Gut: A Four-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight and be sure to check out primalhealthcoach.com. to enroll in our new specialty certification course, the Human Intestinal Microbiome in Health and Disease.
