Elizabeth Gasson-Hargreaves - All disease begins in the gut

Habits & Health episode 69 with Elizabeth Gasson-Hargreaves, a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Nutritional Therapist.  15 years ago, her son Charlie had less than 24 hours to live had he not received vital antibiotics which saved his life. This had a major impact on Elizabeth. Charlie was 6 weeks old and had bacterial meningitis.   Following his recovery, she had two choices: to live with fear every time her son became unwell or to understand what made him so susceptible to this disease - or dis-ease within his microbiome.  This led Elizabeth on a journey of discovery and she realised that disease was more likely to be about the internal environment. Which helped her understand how important microbes were; not just for us internally, but for the soil in which we grow our food. The soil in our gut and the soil in the ground are deeply connected. As Franklin Roosevelt said, “the Nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself”.     She believes everyone has the right to healthy food, grown in a way that preserves our soil, not destroys it.     Full shownotes including a transcription available at: https://tonywinyard.com/elizabeth-gasson-hargreaves/ Habits & Health links: Website - tonywinyard.com Facebook Page - facebook.com/TonyWinyard.HabitsAndHealth Facebook Group - facebook.com/groups/habitshealth Twitter - @TonyWinyard Instagram - @tony.winyard LinkedIn - uk.linkedin.com/in/tonywinyard YouTube How to leave a podcast review - tonywinyard.com/how-to-leave-a-podcast-review/ Details of online workshops to create habits for health - tonywinyard.com/training/ Are you in control of your habits or are they in control of you? Take my quiz to find out - tonywinyard.com/quiz
