Description

Linda, the founder of HUA Wellness, and I talk about the gut-brain connection and the importance of gut health. We discuss the role of good bacteria in the gut, the impact of imbalances in gut bacteria, and the connection between the gut and the brain. We also discuss the importance of paying attention to your body and how it can guide your supplement choices. We emphasize that supplements should be used as an enhancement to a healthy lifestyle, not as a replacement for proper nutrition.
