In this episode we got to hear from Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro, CISSN, CHC, who is a Renaissance Periodization consultant, ISSN-certified sport nutritionist, and ACE-certified health coach.  She received her PhD in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise, completing her dissertation on the effects of probiotic supplementation on metabolic dysregulation during high-fat feeding. 

In this episode, Gabrielle shares with us her own personal struggles with disordered eating and the psychological effects of weight class based and physique sports. She also shares her wealth of knowledge on gut health, getting into what the gut microbiome is and the effects of a diverse biome on weight gain and energy extraction.  She shares her insight on probiotic supplementation, how to otherwise achieve a healthy, diverse biome as well as the effects of exercise on a healthy gut.  

We encourage you to visit Gabrielle’s website and specifically take a look at her blog post Taking up More Space and Lifting More Weight.
