Bella Lindemann is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner who helps people with chronic digestive issues. She specialises in helping people that have developed these issues after travelling to a developing country.
In this episode, we talk about the years of struggle Bella had with her health after a nasty food poisoning event in Africa. It was only after finding a functional medicine practitioner that she was able to move in the right direction and start seeing some results. Her journey back to full health took 5 years and included her remodelling every aspect of her life.
After recovering her health, Bella went on to study functional medicine and is now helping others get their health back. We spend a lot of time talking about what you can do leading up to a trip, what to do to avoid getting sick when travelling, and what to do if you do get sick, and how to return to full health once home.
