Holistic Health with Dr. Heather Heck: Interview with Karin Reiter

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Karin G. Reiter. Her nutrition journey started when she was diagnosed at the age of 18 with her first autoimmune disease (Hashimoto’s thyroid disease). She then doubled down after being diagnosed with celiac disease following the birth of her second child. She did not see much improvement in her symptoms or antibody levels following a conventional medicinal approach. So, she began to study medical nutrition and eventually left her career in law and finance to devote her life to helping others through the healing power of food. She’s consulted some of the largest organizations all over the world (McKinsey, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Paypal) and has written several e-books including a children’s cookbook. She currently resides in Israel and it was amazing to get this chance to chat with her and share our conversation with you!“You either pay the farmer or you pay medical bills.” Karin helps her clients get to the root causes of their symptoms which starts with the basics: nutrition, sleep, water, identifying toxins, and limiting stress. As Hippocrates stated, “All disease begins in your gut”. Which may not be 100% true, but we need to consume 30 different fruits and vegetables a week + quality protein in order to attain good gut microbiome. Ibuprofen, the birth control pill, antibiotics, alcohol, and stress have killed our gut microbiome! It’s no wonder that we’re seeing more 18-20 year old women who suffer from depression and anxiety, PCOS, endometriosis, and who are being diagnosed with diabetes…I also loved our chat about kids and how we teach them good nutrition when what’s often available and marketed to them are crappy foods. It was nice to hear another perspective across the world that echoes my practice and my research. Support the show☕ Fuel the Conversation! Loving the podcast?
