Own Your Health

Katie Brindle looks into one of the most common yet misunderstood health issues of modern life... gut health!If you’re struggling with bloating, fatigue, cravings, constipation, diarrhoea, unexplained weight changes, or simply feeling “off,” Katie tells you why the root cause may go far beyond food. Katie's been a Chinese Medicine Practitioner for over 25 years, and she uses the wisdom of Chinese medicine, to share how stress, poor routines, overconsumption of wellness advice, and disconnection from natural rhythms could be silently damaging your digestion.Katie also breaks down why the spleen is considered one of the most important organs in Chinese medicine, how stress diverts blood away from your digestive system, and why simple habits like eating at regular times, chewing properly, walking after meals, and avoiding iced drinks, can make a huge difference.Find out about Katie: https://www.katiebrindle.com/Buy her book 'Yang Sheng': https://hayoumethod.com/collections/wellbeing/products/yang-sheng-the-art-of-chinese-self-healing-book Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katie_brindle/
