I teamed up with Helen Kimber from Hero Lifestyle. She is a nutritionist and yoga teacher. Together we decided to record an entire series about gut health, digestion, nutrition and anything else around the topic we think could be useful to discover. At first, we introduce how everything should be working in a healthy body. In later episodes, we will be diving into potential issues and illnesses.
In our third episode, we give you an overview of proteins, carbohydrates and fats and how they all work together in our bodies. Helen also offers some tips on what kind of fats she would recommend and how much proteins, carbohydrates and fats we roughly need a day. A healthy diet is vital, and I hope you can take a lot from this episode.
If you have any questions, get in touch or leave a comment :)
