Hi Sue – another really interesting guest today. I’ve been experiencing the “joys” of my gut being a bit out of whack over the last few months – not sure how much is due to my other health issues and how much is just “getting older”. I’m definitely working on improving my microbiome – and this info is really helpful.
Hi Leanne, I’m on a roll with interesting guests that is for sure. I’m loving the podcast and I too learnt a lot from Natalie about the gut microbiome. x
