This special episode features the owner and Nutritional Consultant of Next Ingredient, Gail Kloosterman! After a brief intro about Gail's inspiration that resulted in this podcast and her nutritional consulting approach, we dive into all things fennel. It's kind of like sitting in on a mini-consultation as we learn about this digestive superstar that optimizes other systems in our bodies. We talk about getting the most out of your food, CCF tea (cumin, coriander and fennel seeds steeped in hot water and either drank after meals or sipped throughout the day), acid reflux, and more! Get ready to.....digest.  Forgive the sound issues; we are troubleshooting how to make it sound better! Thanks for your love and support!
