Welcome back to The Wellfuel Podcast!

Are you ready to dive into a conversation that'll make your gut instincts tingle? 🦠✨

This time, I sat down with the amazing Kerri Axelrod, a functional medicine nutritionist who's all about getting to the bottom of things (literally – we're talking gut health here!). We spilled the beans on our personal health journeys and how we've been helping folks tackle those pesky gut issues and anxiety gremlins.

Here's a taste of what we cooked up:

  • Why playing detective with your health is way more fun (and effective) than just popping pills
  • The antibiotic dilemma: friend or foe? (Spoiler: it's complicated!)
  • Self-care practices that'll make you feel like a wellness superhero (Cold plunges, anyone? 🥶)

Trust me, this episode is packed with more nuggets of wisdom than your favorite trail mix.

Whether you're a health nut or just starting your wellness journey, you'll walk away with some seriously cool insights.
