This time they are joined by registered dietician, Jessie Hoffman, who has a PhD in nutritional sciences and is a very keen gut microbiome researcher. Join them as they discuss the importance of our gut microbiome in our bodies (it is now considered an organ in itself!) and they also clear the water on the 'leaky gut syndrome'.Don't forget to rate and review this episode. Find us on IG @thegrowthmedium.Jessie's Instagram @jessiehoffman_phd, her page is honestly amazing and full of more information on the gut microbiome and nutrition.Find our show notes here: https://thegrowthmediumpod.wixsite.com/home/post/s2-episode7Medical Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for information and entertainment purposes only.
