Too often, people are worried about the symptoms they are experiencing when they should be worrying about how to address the source of the problem. This reflects the key difference in how medical doctors and wellness doctors address health issues, as well, so today I'm using the ‘garbage dump full of rats’ metaphor to break it all down. Listen in to learn about the importance of training in nutrition and how many doctors are surprisingly inexperienced and uneducated in this area. I’ll also discuss why this is such a big problem, explain how you should find solutions to your health issues, and share key insights from my new book, Gut Check.

Prescription meds don't treat stress, so I’ll discuss why it’s important to take other routes to help your body deal with this issue.
