5: Heal Your Gut Heal Your Life With Kirsty Wirth

The secret to extreme health lies in your gut... So says today’s podcast guest, Kirsty Wirth from Kultured Wellness — and with good reason. Kirsty’s story is fascinating. Her young son used to be autistic, non-verbal and unresponsive. But after she implemented an intense healing regime for his gut, the little guy is now thriving, robust, and healthier than ever. (For full show notes and episode resources head to https://melissaambrosini.com/5) Sounds crazy, right? But the link between our guts and our brains is now well known by scientists — even if mainstream nutrition has not yet caught up. Which is exactly why Kirsty is on a mission to revolutionise our health by sharing her secrets with the people who need it most. If you’re already on the gut health bandwagon, let me assure you: Kirsty takes things seriously next level.
