E7 S2 | Breaking Down the Barriers to Eating Well So Bodies Can Heal - Kristina Evans Functional Nutritionist Counselor
Welcome to Episode 7, Season 2 of the Sick and Seeking Podcast
On this episode I speak with Kristina Evans, Functional Nutritionist Counselor at Annyssa Wellness.
Connected to my health and overall wellness, looking at my diet was the last place I’ve ever wanted to go. And if you can believe it, for a few months now I have personally been working with Kristina to make changes around what I’m eating. I’m here to tell you that making these shifts to improve your gut health and overall health has been worth it.
For me it was key to have the support and guidance of this wonderful woman, Kristina. She has a knack for meeting you where you are, without judgment, and holding you with delicate compassion and care on your journey with food.
Conversation Highlights:
- What it’s like to work with a functional nutritionist counselor
- Kristina’s role in helping people break down the barriers so that they can eat well and heal their bodies
- Inflammation in the body and how the gut often plays a central role
- Gut health and its impact on health conditions
- A description of digestion, the role each part plays in the process, and what happens when a part breakdowns or is not functioning optimally
- Creating a healthy microbiome by eating the greatest variety of food that is high in soluble fiber and doesn't upset your system
- The gut to brain messaging system, and the importance of reconnecting the mind with the body
- Long term health conditions often take long term healing, and having a support along the way is key
- Kristina’s 80/20 rule in guiding clients how to think about food
Quote:
“We don't talk about it. Why would I be excited about it? Because I have seen healing occur. If you can get the gut working correctly, then you will heal. You will be able to dare I say, go into remission from a lot of conditions. You will calm them down. The distance between flares will extend and the severity of flares will decrease. That's the beauty of working in the gut.” - Kristina Evans
