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. I’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:

“We 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.” - Kristina Evans
