By far, the single biggest health complaint I help clients work through is gastrointestinal distress. From the nuisance of excess gas and distension, to serious pathology, many issues arise directly related to eating better. Misconceptions, misunderstanding, and sometimes sheer misinformation leads many competitors and dieters down a road of needless dysfunction. I can't emphasize enough how important this information is and how fortunate we are to have a voice like Gabrielle Fundaro, PhD, in the industry. Check out our feature as we chat about macros, microbes, and all things poop!
