Welcome to Episode 7, Season 2 of the Sick and Seeking Podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Evans, a Functional Nutritionist Counselor at Annyssa Wellness. Recently, I've been working with Kristina to improve my diet, and I can honestly say that the changes have made a significant impact on my gut health and overall well-being.

Kristina's compassionate approach truly stands out. She meets you where you are, offering support without judgment, which has been invaluable on my journey with food. Iโ€™m excited to share this enlightening conversation with you.

Conversation Highlights:

  • Working with a Functional Nutritionist: Kristina discusses her role in helping clients break down barriers to healthy eating and body healing.
  • Understanding Inflammation: We explore how the gut often plays a central role in inflammation and its connection to various health conditions.
  • Digestion Breakdown: Kristina explains how each part of the digestive system contributes to overall health and the issues that arise when things aren't functioning well.
  • Building a Healthy Microbiome: Tips on consuming a diverse diet rich in soluble fiber to support gut health.
  • Gut-Brain Connection: The importance of reconnecting the mind with the body for optimal health.
  • Long-Term Healing Journey: Healing often requires time and support, and Kristina emphasizes this need throughout the process.
  • The 80/20 Rule: Guidance on approaching food in a balanced way without feeling overwhelmed.

Quote:

โ€œWe don't talk about it. Why would I be excited about it? Because I have seen healing occur. If you can get the gut working correctly, then you will heal. You will be able to dare I say, go into remission from a lot of conditions. You will calm them down. The distance between flares will extend and the severity of flares will decrease. That's the beauty of working in the gut.โ€ - Kristina Evansย

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothersโ€“both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesnโ€™t know all the details of his brotherโ€™s nefarious dealings, and heโ€™s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larryโ€™s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
