In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Angie Gallagher, a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health & Wellness Coach, to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, the nervous system, and metabolic well-being. Angie shares insights from her years in cardiac rehab and her pivot into functional medicine, shedding light on why gut health is foundational—not just for digestion but for overall vitality. Together, they discuss why conventional medicine often overlooks the root causes of chronic issues, how inflammation starts in the gut, and why real healing takes more than quick fixes. You’ll also hear practical advice on probiotics, gut-friendly habits, and why listening to your body is the ultimate health strategy.
