My name is Kelly Aiello, and I’m a registered holistic nutritionist (RHN) and Brain Health Coach. I created the Nutritional Nerd podcast as a place to connect with people who are looking to live a happier, healthier life. I want to give you the tools you need to unlock your full potential and to live the kind of life you have always imagined. When it comes to nutrition, there is a lot of conflicting information. It seems like every week there's a new study and a new fad diet that seem to contradict the news from last week. The truth is everyone is different and biochemically unique. As such, your body has different needs. It also means there is not a single one-size-fits-all diet for everyone. Together we'll cut through all the hype and learn what your eating habits should look like to get you whole food optimized.

    Gut Feelings Are Real and Here's Why!

    Send us a text Have you ever experienced "butterflies in your stomach" before a big presentation? Have you felt your mood dip when your digestion was off?  I certainly have - for me, a common experience before a big university exam or presentation was the sensation of having to run to the bathroom repeatedly (sorry if that was TMI). But what do these shared experiences have in common? They indicate a profound and intricate relationship between the gut and brain. Yes, the connection between gut and brain is real and it’s often referred to as the gut-brain connection. As a nutritionist specializing in neuronutrition, I've seen firsthand how nurturing your gut can be a game-changer for mental well-being and how improving brain health has a direct impact on digestion.  In this podcast, we’ll explore this fascinating link, bust some common myths, and provide practical nutritional tips you can implement today that will support both your gut and your mind. https://linktr.ee/kellyaiello | Buy me a coffee
