Gut Awareness: You Are Only As Healthy As The Food You Can Digest

— As a health-focused chef, Ellen lives by the well-known motto: "Let food be thy medicine." It is obvious that eating more fruits and vegetables is in your best interest, but simply knowing that is not enough. By embracing the connection between self-care, better choices, enhanced gut health, cognitive functions, and hormonal balance, we begin to heal. Plus, food inspires! It gives us the opportunity to create and gather in community to enjoy the flavors each season brings.

Valeria interviews Ellen Postolowski — the author of "Gut Driven: Jump-Start Digestive Health to Nourish Body, Mind, and Spirit."

Integrative health coach and nutritional food chef Ellen Postolowski embraces optimal whole-body well-being by emphasizing the essentials of robust gut health with balance, awareness, and education on and off the plate. Ellen resides in Allendale, NJ, with her husband, Lou, and dog, Dug. She strives to create a ripple effect highlighting the benefits of self-care for all clients with Gut Driven.
