Gut health and mental health. There’s so much conversation about improving gut health using probiotics, prebiotics and fermented foods, but it can be confusing.
Jo Webster medical herbalist, nutritionist, gut health and fermented food specialist is joining me in this episode to answer a few questions I'm often asked when delivering webinars to organisations as part of their health & wellbeing activities;
Jo completed a 4 year degree qualifying as a herbalist (with distinction), she has a post-graduate diploma in nutritional medicine from Surrey University (with distinction) and in the final stages of the MSc Nutritional Medicine. Jo is a full member of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy and the National Institute of Medical Herbalists. She used to be a lawyer and also has a degree in psychology.
Jo is devoted to helping people address their health issues using nutrition, medicinal herbs and a focus on gut health. An important aspect is encouraging people to take responsibility for their own health and providing them with the support, tools and information they need to do so..
In her own life, Jo strives to be the change she wants to see in the world, so she knows from first-hand experience how challenging changing entrenched behaviours can be. She walks the walk rather than just talking the talk. Jo is mother to 4 young people and has a love of reading, learning, asking questions, being outside, fermenting, herbing and laughing.
