Today on the podcast I chat with my friend Tess Richardson, an Energy Optimization & Performance Coach. After training executives at various organizations, Tess discovered that many people (especially high performers) are systematically destroying their cellular energy through chronic stress, poor blood sugar management, and gut dysfunction.In this episode, we discuss how Tess’s career in modeling destroyed her gut and her relationship with her body, and how that ultimately led her to her profession and passion: teaching others that health isn’t about weight or calories in, calories out, it’s about systems and cellular health. We also talk about leaky gut, opening up our detox pathways, how what we eat affects our brains, and the importance of listening to our bodies and understanding what our nervous systems are trying to say.Resources & sites mentioned in this episode:Upgrade Labs, the Bulletproof-owned business where Tess kicked off her journey into gut healthTess’s recommended supplements: LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes, Bloom Colostrum & Collagen Peptides, Essential Stacks Gut L-Glutamine Powder, Enzymedica Digest Gold, and THORNE’s Methyl-Guard Plus (methylated B vitamin)Learn more about VipassanaCheck out Tess’s website hereFind Tess on Instagram (where you’ll find links to her free somatic exercise, symptom assessment, and more) and LinkedIn
