  • Tips for Managing IBS and PCOS, How to Actually Manage Your Stress and How to Advocate for Your Health ft. Tamar Samuels

    This week's guest is Tamar Samuels! Tamar Samuels is a registered dietitian nutritionist and the co-founder of Culina Health. Her unique and holistic approach to healthcare integrates functional medicine, positive psychology, and behavioral change techniques pulled from her training in clinical nutrition and coaching science. She's helped countless people transform their relationship with food and their health to overcome a variety of health conditions. Her journey to becoming a dietitian started when she started restricting her diet to manage food sensitivities and chronic IBS. This eventually led to a place of constantly thinking about food, criticizing her body, and feeling frustrated about her health. Fed up with the years of ups and downs with her health, she began a life-changing journey to heal her relationship with food, her body and her health.
