KJ  invites friend and SOAL fan-favorite Lauren Bryson, a certified holistic nutritionist, back to the show to usher in 2022 with a tantalizing topic: nutrition and gut health to support overall physical and emotional health.

Lauren understands the therapeutic value of real, nutrient-dense food and she recognizes the impact the environment, chronic stressors, and mindset have on our whole health. She created Lauren Emerson Wellness, to guide clients 1:1 on achieving their health goals. She is also a wellness facilitator with Bauman Wellness and teaches kids cooking classes with Kids Cooking for Life.
 
Some nourishing niblets  from today's conversation: 

  • 70% of our immune system is located in our gut 
  • Feed your [sexy] microbiome with sexy nutrients (oh hiiiii, sauerkraut!) 
  • Self Compassion means advocating for and prioritizing our own immunity
  • Self Care equals proactive nourishment by getting outside and playing in the dirt!
