The Link Between Sleep, Alcohol and Weight Loss with Dr. Jennifer Horton

Today on Far From Perfect, I’m talking to Dr. Jen Horton, who started her career in family medicine and eventually shifted her focus to functional medicine. Dr, Jen also speaks regularly to our LTGL VIP  group & I’ve been dying to get her on the podcast. Today we are talking about Pillars of health, sleep being a huge one and what we can do to better it. We also chat about alcohol and it’s effects on our sleep and gut. Then we talk all about gut health and how important it is to our whole body. I really think after listening to this podcast you’re going to want more information and to book an apt with Dr. Jen. You can do that through her website @ www.drjenniferhorton.com  About Dr. Jen: After practicing for 16 years in the traditional model of health care, I felt my days were spent putting out fires and giving out band-aids. So much of what I saw every day in my patients is actually preventable, or at least modifiable by diving deep into meaningful lifestyle modification. Telling a woman to, “manage your stress…lose weight and eat healthy…” without the HOW and WHY seemed incomplete. So in 2016, I began to explore holistic approaches through functional/integrative medicine. This is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.
