Optimizing Gut Health Through Mindful Eating

In this episode, Katie speaks to Nutritional Therapist & Author Jackie Lynch about food and nutrition. 

Jackie is the founder of the award winning Well Well Well nutrition clinic, where she specialises in women's health and the menopause. Keen to break the taboo about discussing the menopause, Jackie launched her own popular podcast The Happy Menopause in 2019. Her third book, ‘The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition to Help You Flourish’, is out now. Jackie’s advice features in a range of national media, radio and TV including Channel Four’s Super Foods, and she's also a Guardian Masterclass tutor too.
