“Food can be your greatest medicine or your slowest poison.”

For the opening episode of Season 4 of the Oxygen Advantage® podcast, Patrick welcomes writer, speaker and ‘The Soul Coach’ himself, Gerry Hussey.

Originally from Galway in Ireland and based in Dublin, Gerry has built a strong reputation for himself over the past few decades from his origins in sport psychology to his current work, spreading the word on how we can improve our individual health when we start looking inwards.

Author of books including ‘Awaken the Power Within’ and his new book, ‘The Freedom Within’, Gerry looks at ‘the brain, the gut and the heart’ when considering the issues that may be negatively affecting our mental and physical health.

With the brain we can overthink things, we can have a negative outlook or we can be shaped by the experiences, traumas or unresolved emotions of our past. With the gut, quite simply, we need to eat a healthy and balanced diet and really focus on what we put in our bodies as it can negatively affect our heads and our hearts.

As Gerry says, “What shows up in your emotions, shows up in your immune system, in your hormonal system and in your nervous system… The right person, with the right process, never has to worry about the outcome.”
