I’m super excited to have Dr. Kirstin Lauritzen on the show today, because she is such a wealth of information when it comes to gut health. She’s a doctor of chiropractic and holds a masters degree in human nutrition. I’ve had Dr. K, as I call her, talk to my groups and have chatted with her for Instagram content, but wanted to bring her on the show to really pick her brain about just how integral the GI tract is to overall health.
- Her personal journey into chiropractic care and focus on nutrition
- How and why she blends alternative care with traditional medicine for her patients
- The effects that hormone balance can have on our body, and specifically our cycle.
- How high levels of cortisol (stress hormone) can affect your day-to-day life
- How there isn’t necessarily “good” and “bad” bacteria in your gut and how it affects the rest of the body.
- Antibiotics and your (plus your kid’s) gut
- And more!
