Do you know how stress, digestive issues, and mental health issues relate to gut health? Find out in this episode with guest, Dr. Emily Wolbers, a naturopathic physician with a gastro-focused practice in both Portland, OR and Davenport, IA. She earned her medical degree from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon and has a Bachelor degree in dietetics from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. With her background in nutrition, Dr. Wolbers utilizes Food as Medicine as a main modality for health. She treats the whole person and finds the root cause of disease through natural, non-invasive means.
Key Points:
*Having 2-3 bowel movements a day is ideal.
*Your gut is your body’s “second brain“
*Mental health issues and gut issues can many times be related.
