- Diet and lifestyle strategies to support thyroid health, weight loss and low energy
Next, I answer Jess's question as she is struggling with cystic acne on her face and body. She is also dealing with IBS symptoms and wants to know if these are connected and if so, where to start!
I discuss -
- The gut/skin connectionFunctional lab tests I'd recommend & how to easily test your bowel transit time at home
- How to complete a gut healing protocol correctly.
