I was absolutely overjoyed to be asked to be a guest speaker on the Functional Health Podcast hosted by the fantastic Ben Atkinson, Nutritionist, and Functional Medicine Practitioner.
I was interviewed on a really wide range of topics. This is one of the best podcasts I’ve been interviewed on and Ben was a fabulous host.
