In this episode, I chat with functional health strategist (FDNP) Kim Heintz, to discuss Irritable Bowel Syndrome, gut health, and chronic/mystery symptoms from an integrative, holistic, and hopeful perspective.

Kim's journey into functional health started with a debilitating long history that included chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, sleep issues, etc. for over two decades. While doctors offered no hope, she was determined to find answers, eventually discovering the root of her symptoms, thus finding COMPLETE relief after nearly 25 years.

Her now mission as a practitioner is to empower men and women who've been grappling with gut issues and mysterious symptoms without avail. Frustratingly, so many have been told everything looks 'fine' by their doctors, yet they continue to feel sick or out of sorts. With the power of functional labs, Kim uncovers the root causes of her clients' health and gut concerns, guiding them towards vitality through customized diet plans, lifestyle and mindset strategies, along with targeted, short-term supplementation.

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Blackburn, for a very candid conversation largely surrounding "changing your mind" and evolving in a culture that largely still safely operates in a dogmatic manner . Matt is the founder and owner of Mitolife, the host of Mitolife Radio Podcast, the creator of the CLF Protocol, and has truly dedicated his life towards alternative health research. As someone who people have looked towards for health information that's typically absent from conventional health circles, he has also seen much backlash in recent years for changing his mind on multiple concepts, upon being presented with new information and research. Coming from a place of a once pretty stiff belief system, Matt now feels that being open to changing your mind can positively shift your health and your life from all angles.

We also touch on many of the concepts Matt has evolved through or changed his tune on, including:

• Iron overload, iron-deficiency, ferritin markers, and anemia
• What happened when he donated blood?
• The vitamin C debate: Whole food C versus ascorbic acid
• Zinc supplementation
• The demonization of nutrients/supplements in general
