Welcome to the very first episode of the Holistic life!In this episode, we will be talking about the anatomy of a gut.Before we begin to understand how to nourish and support our gut, we must understand its function and anatomy.

I have shared six assessment questions you can ask yourself to begin understanding your gut's anatomy. I've listed them before, and as I said in the episode, I highly recommend you share your answers with your health practitioner for an individualized plan.
