🎧 Episode Summary:

I’m joined by Perth-based nutritionist and gut health educator Dr Angela Giannone for a conversation that bridges science, self-care, and sustainable leadership.

We explore how your gut health is doing far more than just digesting lunch — it’s impacting your clarity, confidence, energy, and ability to lead. Angela shares the why behind the gut-brain connection, the power of a diverse microbiome, and how small, intentional changes in what we eat can shift how we show up at work and in life.

Whether you're constantly 'on' or just tired of running on fumes, this is a conversation about nourishment as a leadership tool — not a diet plan.

You'll hear about:

• What the gut microbiome actually is — and why diversity matters

• The link between nutrition, energy, mood, and confidence

• Why food isn’t just fuel — it’s feedback

• Leading yourself well so you can lead others better

• How to build habits that last without going all-or-nothing
  

If you're looking for more grounded energy, sharper focus, and a healthier relationship with how you care for yourself — this one’s for you.
