In this episode, we discuss the benefits of living by the ocean and how these benefits impact our physical health and our overall wellbeing. This discussion is led largely by the information that is within the book called, “By The Sea: The therapeutic benefits of being in, on and by the water” by Deborah Cracknell.

What makes this diet different, is that it not only helps you heal your gut, but it also helps you figure out WHAT foods exactly you are having reactions to.
