In this episode, Katarina chats with Jessica Ash about metabolic health, digestion, and the nervous system. Former PCOS and Hypothyroid sufferer turned hormone nerd. Jessica spent a fair share of the first half of her life on the roller coaster that is hormone imbalances. From insulin resistance to recovering from hormonal birth control use, to adrenal “fatigue”, to Hashimoto’s, to severe digestive issues, to horrible periods, to a wrecked metabolism- she has been there. Over 4 years of restrictive diets, expensive functional doctor visits and thousands of dollars of supplements left her only a bit better off than where she started. She decided to ditch the health and wellness trends and go back to basics, digging into biology, anatomy, endocrinology, and nutritional biochemistry. Jessica's credentials include Bachelor of Science (BS), Clinical Nutritionist Consultant (CNC), Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), Integrative Holistic Health Coach (INHC), and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).
