We are back with another gut health episode this week and we are so excited for you all to listen because this episode breaks down alot of the myths we see in the online space when it comes to gut health but also how we often see gut health conditions treated in the naturopathic/ integrative space.

In this weeks episode we have Dr. Racheal Lovink, who is a naturopathic physician based in Victoria, British Columbia, who focuses her practice on chronic gut health concerns, specifically IBS.

In this episode we are covering IBS, a syndrome that affects many women and that truly doesn’t get the conversation + correct information it deserves. We talk about what IBS is and why taking care of your nervous system is so important, why we shouldn’t fear foods, functional gut tests and why they might not be the right path, and of course, actionable and sustainable ways you can work towards better gut health.
