Customer Reviews
Awesome naturopath!
Dr. Walker’s podcast is backed by her excellent healing talent and spirit of scientific investigation into health. How do I know? Because she helped me so much to heal from SIBO and learn about what the heck was going on in my microbiome. I highly recommend this podcast and Dr. Walker as a remote practitioner for SIBO and much more, I’m sure.
