Hello, I'm Katy Bradbury, a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Private Health Visitor and qualified nurse. I have worked in Women's Health, Maternal and Children's Health for many years.
Today's podcast is titled "The Digestive Series Part 4". In part 4 of this mini-series on digestive health for fertility, I talk about the significance of the large intestine for health and fertility. From its links to the immune system and inflammation to the microbiome, the estrobolome and the importance of poo, a huge amount is covered today, finishing with some really practical tips.
