Welcome to the eighty-sixth episode of the Healthy Body Podcast all about the basics of digestion every woman should know!

My name is Brianna Wilkerson from Made Well, holistic coaching practice designed to empower others to be healthy and thrive in all areas of their lives.

I am a Holistic Health and Life Coach, Essential Oils Advocate, and a Crossfit-Level 1 Trainer with a heart to empower working women to overcome yo-yo dieting, honor their bodies and get a healthy body they love and are proud of. I love seeing women care for their bodies through proper nutrition, consistent exercise, managing stress, sleeping well, digesting foods well, reducing their toxic load, caring for their mindset and habits. However, because I truly believe that your entire life impacts your physical health and vice versa, I also help women be healthy and thrive in their emotional, mental, spiritual, relational, financial and vocational health.

I also love empowering working women to use non-toxic solutions like essential oils for their health and those they love!

It is my absolute delight and pleasure to bring you this podcast and share with you all my heart and soul around truly being healthy and thriving in all areas of your life!

Today’s episode is with Kristin Thomas and we dive deep into digestion and gut health basics!

About Kristin Thomas

The founder Thrive by Food, Kristin Thomas is a functional diagnostic nutrition and health coaching practitioner. She specializes in chronic digestive health conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Celiac disease, as well as autoimmune conditions, and hormone imbalance, but most importantly, as a functional practitioner, she views the body as one interconnected system and works with people to help uncover imbalances deep within the body and implement strategic change that can influence multiple systems and conditions at once. Having struggled with her own ulcerative colitis, acid reflux, and anxiety and brought all of them into complete remission, Kristin deeply gets what it’s like to have these conditions and also to overcome them.

Kristin spreads her message of natural digestive health through group programs, live international events, one-on-one coaching, and summits and podcast appearances. If you need a place to start, sign up for her FREE Gut Healing Recipe Guide and design a plan to begin healing your gut.
