Good health is the cornerstone of ultimate happiness and fulfillment in life.
Have you ever wondered how what you eat affects your mental health? In this episode of HUM Zinger, hosts Sue Newton and Mike Davies chat with Dr. Julia Gill, a board-certified Naturopathic Doctor from Calgary, Alberta. Dr. Gill's journey from rural South Korea, where she was influenced by natural village medicine, to becoming a naturopathic doctor is nothing short of inspiring.
She believes that good health is the cornerstone of happiness and fulfillment, and her practice focuses on nutrition, hormone balance, and digestive health. Dr. Gill dives into the fascinating gut-brain connection, explaining how the quality of our food can fuel a healthier mind. She breaks down the importance of macronutrients and micronutrients, offering practical tips on incorporating fiber and probiotics into your diet.
You'll also learn about the role of sleep and stress reduction in maintaining mental health and discover how activating the vagus nerve can boost your overall well-being. But it's not all serious talk! The episode wraps up with a fun Hum Zinger question: 'If you could put the essence of something into a smoothie, what would it be?' Dr. Gill's answer is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Whether you're looking to improve your mental health through better eating habits or simply curious about the mind-body connection, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
