Ep. 137 - Probiotics, Immunity and Gut Health with Tina Anderson

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around peri-menopause and menopause. After breaking free from the world of Big Pharma where she saw first hand the over prescription of drugs and the glorification of disease management (instead of health), Tina Anderson and her husband Billy started a company. A company where they vowed to make real change for health, to improve lives and helped people to manage stress. That company is called Just Thrive. And they are here to say, if you aren't paying attention to your gut health, you should be! So let's dive into gut health.... Tina and Dr. Lovely discuss probiotics, leaky gut, joint pain, resilience, stress management, mental health, inflammation and much more. Tina tells us to reject what she calls the "Stress Badge of Honour" instead choosing to feel happy, peaceful. Who knew that tending to our gut and our microbiome was the way to wellness? If you have gut issues, inflammation, pain, struggle with depression or anxiety, please listen to this chat! We learned early in the chat how Tina and her team worked to create mental health via the gut. Woah, big subject that could have massive implications. We know that what medicine has done for mental health at menopause hasn't been all that successful, so we are open to getting new tools in the toolkit. Please listen, learn and share.
