Can you really heal your body naturally? That's where the work of a functional nutritionist comes in...and that's when Risa Groux enters the picture!

Risa Groux is a Functional Nutritionist and Certified Autoimmune Coach in private practice in Newport Beach, California. She works with a wide array of clients from professional athletes, adults, and kids to the Biggest Loser from season four. Risa works with issues like diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer, digestion, thyroid, and hormone imbalances, to name a few. Risa firmly believes that the body can heal itself with whole foods we obtain from the earth and sees living proof of that in her office each day. She looks at root causes using functional nutrition guidelines, blood and stool tests, and knows that weight loss is a side effect of wellness.

Risa shares her wisdom in this fascinating interview. We go deep into thyroid health and how to heal the thyroid, common drivers of all disease, specific tests to use to gauge and monitor your health and the key role food and nutrition plays in healing your body.

Risa breaks down all the major diets and dishes on the pros and cons of each one and who should and should not be using them. We're talking about Paleo, Ketogenic, Autoimmune Protocol, Vegan, Low FODMAP and Low Lectin.

If you want to take control of your health, then this episode is for you.

Do you ever think about where the food on your plate came from? What was involved to grow that food and transport it to your plate? Why does it even matter?

Jess Stone is a certified Organic Land Care Professional who breaks it all down for us and lets you in on secrets as to why it does matter how connected to your food source you are. Jess focuses on soil microbiology and believes the crops she grows are just a byproduct of her true wealth — the soil. "The closest thing to health is beneath your feet - it's the soil."

Is there a difference between buying certified organic produce in the store vs buying from local farms?

Can eating local affect your mental health?

What has happened to the soil? What is the difference between "big farm" soil and "local farm" soil and why does that matter?

Is there a connection between between the soil and the gut?

"There is no shortage of food in the world, it's accessibility."
