Breaking Down Nutritional Myths with Jessie Hoffman
Gut health is all the rave and we have Dr. Jessie Hoffman on to artificial sweeteners, leaky gut, gastrointestinal distress, bloating, food intolerances and sensitivities, detox, and metal binders. With an overarching emphasis on diet diversity, movement, hydration, and sleep, Dr. Jessie hones in on the lack of conclusive evidence to suggest the negative effects of artificial sweeteners on gut health and diagnose leaky gut, as well as the flaws in food sensitivity testing. Furthermore, she clarifies the misconceptions around leaky gut and symptoms of exercise-induced gastrointestinal stress and how you can approach it from a movement and nutrition perspective. Moreover, she explains the difference between normal and dysfunctional bloating, what detox cleanses are actually doing physiologically, and whether or not the average person needs to take binders to prevent metal toxicity. Let’s get clarified with Dr. Jessie!
