Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 47

This the second episode of my series on women’s health and it’s here to finally help you understand blood sugar and its effects on your health, as well as the importance of tuning into your circadian rhythm and getting enough light exposure.

I’m chatting with the wonderful Dr. Stacy. 

Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker is a Traditional Naturopath and has been in the health and wellness industry for over 10 years. She combines her love of Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Functional Medicine Testing, Holistic Nutrition and Fitness and has created a one of a kind bio-individualized approach to wellness. This includes looking at the body as one beautiful and synergistic system, which needs to be treated as such, and which is intrinsically linked to nature and our circadian rhythm.

I love her for her down-to-earth approach which focuses on lifestyle and simple, natural solutions, because that’s something that’s very close to my heart as well: the reconnection to nature. We have to turn to nature to be able to solve our health issues in a lasting way and to truly be well.

This is a super practical episode with so many tips that you can integrate into your life right away.

Enjoy!
