20. Holistic health & Integrative medicine with Dr Elizabeth Thompson

**DISCLAIMER: Please note that the views of our podcast guests may not always align with the views of Nutritank** This week on the podcast we welcome Dr Elizabeth Thompson, qualified doctor in palliative medicine and CEO of the National Centre for Integrative Medicine who specialises in women’s health and supporting the health and wellbeing of cancer patients. Join us as we discuss how to have a more holistic approach to medicine. Ally and Dr Thompson also discuss the pioneering ‘Food for Mood’ course run at both NCIM and Bristol University, models of stress and how they interact with our eating patterns and the role of spices and herbs in our health and wellbeing. Relevant to COVID times, Dr Thompson gives us some fantastic tips about how to connect with nature despite not having a garden and how you can engage in self-care activation. We guarantee you will feel a greater sense of calm after listening to this episode!
