Mariana Sheppard is all things nutrition, and lifestyle.
There's an expression 'we are what we eat' but Mariana suggests 'we are what we digest' ...
She's a Nutritionist and nature Doctor practitioner providing nutritional therapy in children's health, post-natal health, low energy and pretty much anything related to our 'second brain' otherwise known as our gut.
Mariana dispels a few myths and encourages us to explore that our mental health & well-being including ADHD, depression, anxiety and many more conditions can be treated and improved by what we consume.
In her very authentic style Mariana is also a realist and explains how even the busiest families can effect dietary change (cost effectively) and that its okay to have the occasional pizza and burger too.
She articulates and helps us understand the microbiome gut eco-system in a unique way that doesn't blind us with science.
