Welcome to the Enlightened Pharmacist podcast, where we bring you the wisdom of health experts who have transformed their own health or their clients. Here's where we turn complex science into actionable nuggets of inspiration. Today, we have the privilege to dive into the world of nutrition and health to uncover solutions for nutrient deficiencies and common gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating and non-specific symptoms like body aches, headaches, brittle nails, chronic pain and hair loss.

If you're tired of struggling with digestive discomfort and want some strategies to improve digestive wellness and overall well-being, you're in the right place.

Today, we're joined by Jessica Turton, an experienced dietitian who specializes in personalised nutrition. She is the Director of Ellipse Health & holds a PhD in nutrition for her work on low-carb diets for diabetes management.

As a pharmacist and health coach, I see many patients suffering from gastrointestinal issues from constipation diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease, nutrient deficiencies and would like to showcase her work in this field.

Join us as Jessica unveils the secrets to tailoring nutrient advice to individual needs and empowering clients to optimize their health from the inside out.
