531: Europe Changed My Health (Here's the Science): What We Tested, What we learned, and What We Can't Stop Thinking About

If you have ever come back from Europe and thought, why do I feel BETTER over there, this episode is for you.

Natalie and her husband Brooks just got back from one of the most incredible trips of their lives. Germany, Switzerland, Lake Como, Piedmont, Lake Lucerne, Basel and Heidelberg. And it was not just beautiful. It rearranged some things in their bodies that they want to break down for you.

In this conversation we go through every stop on the route, why pasta in Italy feels different than bread in the US, why dairy in Europe digests so much better, the hormone shift Natalie had to make during the trip, the digestive enzymes that came with us to every single meal, and a quick mention of the EMF and quantum testing we did in a lab in Germany (saving the deep dive for a future episode).

Grab a coffee. Take this one with us.

WE GO DEEP ON:

•  Day one and two at the Vitale Hotel in Stuttgart (plus a quick mention of the EMF testing we did in the lab)
