Ooooo, very-special-episode-alert! 

Today’s guest expert human is Miriam Jacobson (She/Her), an integrative nutritionist who uses functional medicine to help people resolve underlying reasons for their 'mystery symptoms' like indigestion, bloating, bowel abnormalities, fatigue, low energy levels and irritability. 

[Don’t know what “integrative nutritionist” or “functional medicine” mean? Don’t worry, neither did I…we cover it in this episode!]

She's smart, dedicated (aka 2 degrees! 3 certifications!) and easy to talk to (has a v. California millennial sound) and SO helpful. 

Across a mildly-decent-internet connection, we cover: why gut health affects our mental health, alien invaders in our digestive system, probiotics vs prebiotics, accidentally suggestive 90’s kids toys called “water snakes,” the dirty dozen and clean 15, science’s verdict on food trends like cutting calories, juicing, and gluten-free everything; the best diets for people prone to depression or anxiety, are carbs bad??, WTF is keto?, and every rapid fire question y’all could think of.

Can't remember anything you just learned? Don't worry, we planned for this. 

Today is the first episode in a new series called How to Like Being Alive, in which I ask smart people borderline stupid questions about mental health, career, nutrition, finances, purpose, entrepreneurship, real self-care (and anything and everything else you can think of). The best part? This series comes with a clubhouse! 

It’s the How to Like Being Alive club. It's fully loaded. And it's FREE. 

H2LBA is a place to be social OFF social media, a space to "be" more and "DO" less, a jackpot of free expert resources, and even though this buzzword makes me want to hurl, It's a budding COMMUNITY. 

Join our How to Like Being Alive slack group for free:  www.bit.ly/howtolikebeingalive 

You'll find all the scientific studies, links, and recommendations Miriam mentioned in this episode inside our clubhouse—PLUS a free mini course, gut health guide, worksheets...

Oh, AND you can join us for a LIVE online "Ask a Nutritionist Anything" Q+A with Miriam on Friday, April 3rd / 2pm PST / 5pm EST (and yes, it will be recorded for club members!) Invite details in the clubhouse.  

Here's that special link for Miriam's Food Foundations online course!
