EP 13: Gut Health, Inflammation & the Stress Response from a Holistic Lens with Mia Giommi

With gut health being a new hot trend, it can be hard to find real information between the super food blends, detox teas and everything in between. But when it comes down to it, there can be a holistic approach that doesn't involve breaking the bank on new products. 

In today's episode, I sit down with Mia Giommi - Certified Nutritional Practitioner CNP NNCP (IHN) and Functional Diagnostics Nutrition Practitioner FDNP-T (2022 candidate) to discuss the lifestyle factors like stress, inflammation, sleep and blood sugar fluctuation and their effect on our internal health. Whether you are T1D or not, this is a conversation needed for all.
