Nutrition: Answering Your Most Frequently Asked Questions with Angela Walker

“There’s a saying that digestion actually starts in your brain. If you’re very stressed, uptight or thinking about other things, and then that’s the point at which you eat, your brain isn’t sending the correct signals to your digestive system to process and digest that food, so you’re not as likely to be getting what you need from that food.” Angela Walker holds a Masters of Science in Nutritional Medicine and she is also a TIGNUM coach which means she has deep expertise in the total integration of mindset, nutrition, movement, and recovery.
