S4 Episode 21 - Along Came Polly the Parasite with Erin Rector

Erin Rector has been on a journey of self discovery and improvement for many years, and it turns out this entire time she wasn’t alone!  Falling into the pattern of losing weight and gaining back for many years, she always felt deep down that something “bigger” was going on. Tired of being made to feel like she wasn’t trying hard enough or doing the right things from her doctors trainers, she refused to give up hope that she would find someone to listen to her. After being introduced to a friend through networking, she decided to try yet another consultation, this time through Novis Health in Knoxville Tennessee. Finally getting answers she had been longing for, it was discovered that she had severe gut issues including e.Coli, a parasite she picked up at 7 years old, and a host of other bacterial problems. Fast forward 6 months later, (fastest they've ever seen!) and Erin has kicked Polly the 32 year old Parasite out for good!  Ironically, Erin 'fell' into food safety and has dedicated herself to helping businesses and communities protect their food supply chain for over 15 years. When she isn't facilitating food safety training, she is a dedicated mother and wife living in Knoxville, TN.  Tune in to hear OWL about Erin’s journey, her symptoms and chronic issues, and some scary statistics on how many of us are possibly walking around with our own Polly the Parasite!
