77. Samantha Barnett ... You are NOT what you eat ... YOU ARE what you ABSORB!

In many ways this EPISODE 77 with the sensationally enthusiastic, passionate, nutrition expert, SAMMY BARNETT, should be regarded as a cornerstone to the joyful and loving mission of A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE ... and CHIP.

Is it possible to develop a solid love for self without an almost sacred respect for our body?

While not said precisely in those words, Sammy and this highly informative discussion certainly advocates the value in first learning to be in awe of our most incredible machine. Through her own painful uncertain journey and most powerful discoveries, Sammy Barnett is clear that the way you treat your body is one of the greater determinants of your wellbeing and happiness.

Sammy was 11, when she first experienced signs of Generalised Anxiety and Panic Disorder. Social Anxiety, Depression and plummeting self-value were her constant companions throughout school life and early adulthood. Her road to greater health led to the discovery of how food and lifestyle choices impact wellbeing, moods and relationships. Consequently, her passion for Nutritional Medicine was inspired and now drives her daily mission to revolutionize nutrition education, particular in our schools. This is why you are going to hear and understand gem after gem from this International expert. Here is a taste (if you'll excuse the pun) ...

• It's not just what you eat that is important, it's more about what you ABSORB.
• Did you know that the trillion plus bacteria in our microbiome, far outnumber the amount of cells in our body?
• When you consider that intermittent fasting and intuitive eating allow these trillion bacteria to ignite a cleansing detox of damaged and potentially pre-cancerous cells, then maybe it is the healthy balance of bacteria families in our gut that are actually core to our overall health and wellbeing.
• Therefore, beware of certain anti-biotics, which have the capacity to destroy gut bacteria. There maybe other ways.
• Value natural food sources rather than processed vitamin and probiotic pills to build a strong, fully functioning microbiome. Afterall, we too are a natural being.

The volume of advices that this episode offers are immense.

In fact, may I suggest that you have a note pad and pen and maybe the first message you should write down is simply this ... Respect for my body is your foundation for greatest self-love.
And for that profound message, you can thank Sammy Barnett.
