Today’s conversation is with The Gut Expert, Nishtha Patel.

Nishtha’s gut health journey was a very personal one — in 2010, her daughter became extremely ill.

Since then, she’s spent over 13 years researching how to harness the full power of nutrition, helping dozens of clients regain their health along the way.

Expect to learn why all of us should care about digestive health, all the factors that determine gut function, how having pets can positively impact your gut health, the importance of rotating your foods, and much more.

Enjoy!
