About this episode
In this episode, Ashleigh speaks with Alison Mars, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Cookbook author of The Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook, about managing Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and PCOS; how fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood can impact gut health; and all the things that play into our gut health that aren't food (hint, there's a lot). We dive into mental health practices, optimizing circadian rhythm, better and worse fitness routines, and definitively answer the question, "does walking count as exercise?" This conversation is less about "here's exactly what you eat to heal your gut," and more a chat about how to LIVE in a way that promotes optimal digestion. It's a fun one, and I hope you enjoy it.
