Today  on  The Wellness Platform  Podcast,  I’m speaking with Liv Kennedy. Olivia  Kennedy is  a  Naturopath,  nutritionist,  and  herbalist  who  combines her  love  of  Nutrition  and  Herbal  Medicine  to  treat  her  clients  holistically. Olivia  is  also  the  author  of  the  book  on  healthy  nutrition, My  Nutrition Mentor.  While  at  school,  Liv  decided  to  study  Naturopathy, Nutrition  and Herbal  Medicine,  which  turned  out  to  be  the  best  and  the  most  important decision  of  her  life.  She  holds  a  Bachelor  of  Naturopathic  and  Herbal Medicine  and  a  Diploma  in  Nutrition  from  Wellpark  College  of  Natural Therapies  in  Auckland,  NZ.  

Her  decision  to  chase nutrition  and  health  birthed  out  of that  instinctive  desire  --  to  fix  her  own health  condition  of  Leaky Gut Syndrome by eliminating  unhealthy  lifestyle  choices  and  intelligently discovering  gut-friendly  foods.  Liv speaks  with  me  about  her inspiring  journey  into  naturopathy  and  nutrition,  achieving  her  degree  and diploma  one  year  ahead  of  most  others,  and  writing  her  first  book  on essential  nutrition, My  Nutrition  Mentor.  Liv  also throws  clarity  on  pursuing a  career  in  nutrition  and  outlines  the  steps  to  take  if  you  want  to  get  into any  of  its  pathways,  including  government  health boards  or  holistic nutrition  coaching.

We discuss:

• How your life's  purpose  can sometimes be  solving a  personal problem  and  sharing  it  with  the  world.  
• Some lesser-known pathways to take when studying nutrition and alternative courses vs government standardised courses.
• The  fine line  between  wanting  to  take  up  a  career  in  nutrition and  doing  it  as  a  hobby.  
• Leaky gut 101- how to know if you have it and how to fix it.
