Happy New Year friends!

We’re so excited to welcome you back to the Wildly Optimized Wellness podcast and we’re starting off 2023 with compassion. 

Compassion for ourselves!

This week we’re joined by Jessica Brown. She’s a clinical nutritionist with over 25 years of experience, a Self-Compassion teacher, and author of The Loving Diet, a mind-body book supporting those with autoimmune disease. Jessica’s helped thousands of people heal physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spirituality, and she’s here to offer help to YOU. 

If you’re in the depths of despair in your healthcare journey, if you struggle with disordered eating, or if you just find it hard to be kind to yourself (so many of us do!), then you’ll want to listen in. Come find out why Jessica states ‘love is the medicine and your heart is the pharmacy’!
