Episode 141: Taking Diet Culture Out of Gut Health with Dr. Jessie Hoffman

Dear Listener, Today I'm chatting with Dr. Jessie Hoffman about the overlap between the "gut health" world and diet culture. In our conversation, Jessie describes what the gut microbiome is, helps me bust some common myths around gut health, and shares some evidence based truths that we can all keep in mind when it comes to taking care of our gut health! Dr. Jessie Hoffman is a nutrition scientist, professor, and Registered Dietitian. Her graduate research focused on the effects of nutrition and the environment on gut health and cardiovascular disease. She has a strong passion for educating individuals about nutrition and the power of nourishing the body and mind. From breaking down nutrition science to busting myths that are oh so prevalent in today's society, her ultimate goal is to empower individuals to become experts of their own bodies.
