Ep 4. Gut Health and Finding Balance with Sandra Mikhail
Sandra Mikhail, clinical dietitian and founder of Nutrition A-Z, joins me on the podcast today. We chat about why and how to improve your gut health, foundational practices to support your overall wellbeing and the danger of misinformation on social media. Sandra is really passionate about helping people understand and navigate the topics of gut health, but she's equally as passionate about how we can weave sustainability, nutrition and health together rather than discussing them as separate topics
On the show we talk about:
- How Sandra got into the field of nutrition and gut health
- How diet, gut health and mental health are connected
- The four pillars of wellbeing that guide her work and life
- Two simple tweaks to support your gut health
- The role of fiber in our bodies
- How stress can manifest physically
- The difference between prebiotics and probiotics
- The health misinformation on social media
- The interface between health and sustainability
- The nuances of sustainable eating
- Common challenges people face when transitioning to a plant-based diet
- How Sandra found the courage and support to start her own practice
- What fuels her motivation and purpose
- Her practices to deal with stress and overwhelm
- What a great and full life means for her
