If you're concerned about gut health, this episode is for you. Josh
Dech is an ex-paramedic, holistic nutritionist, and medical lecturer,
specializing in digestive diseases. Because of the incredible success
he's had reversing gut diseases like Crohn's and Colitis (and
other digestive issues that most doctors say can't be helped), he's
partnered with medical clinics across the country to help their
patients get better too. I learned a ton from this conversation and
I'm excited to share it with you.
