Guess what?! In this week’s episode, I shared my first EVER experience with drugs…! And let’s just say it was a funny moment I will never forget. 

My guest, John Malanca and I talked all about Cannabis and this topic really hits home for me, as I’ve dealt with cancer within my family— so I have a different narrative about cannabis than before.  

There’s a whole new world out there! John went through a family hardship in 2011, and he and his wife, Corinne, founded United Patients Group (UPG), a trusted resource and leader in medical cannabis information and education for patients, physicians, pharmacists, governments, and organizations, both domestically and internationally. John’s Cannabis company was the first to be invited to the United States Government in the U.S. Capital!

This week, I chat with Nutritionist, Kate Turner.

Kate dives deep on just how we can take more control of our health and wellness. Ready to dive in with us? Good!

I know this comes as no surprise, yet, we’ve still not mastered the number one ingredient to good health: 

FOOD! 

So, let’s talk more about it. 

What I notice is that most people focus on the macros in their diet, which is important, of course.  It’s certainly what we hear about most often. But, what conversation is being neglected when it comes to food and good health? It’s the micro-nutrients. When’s the last time you had a conversation about the micros? 

This is why I loved this conversation with Kate Turner. She jumped right in to talk about the importance of paying attention to  prioritizing micros. These are the nutrients (vitamins and minerals) found in your foods! 

If you are micronutrient deficient (like everyone else!), what may you be missing in your (macro) diet? Kate offers a full breakdown of knowledge, facts, and even the specific supplements and vitamins we should strongly consider adding into our daily repertoire. 

Kate also shares the importance of gut health. Having our guts be in their prime, is the ultimate goal. Why? Kate explains: “it’s beneficial for our skin, weight management— but one the of the biggest things is our gut-brain connection. So, a lot of the time when people’s guts are off, they experience brain-fog, they can’t concentrate so much…” — Kate Turner; 29:00
