Hey and thanks so much for reading I hope it’s helpful. Just a reminder that although I’m passionate about health and nutrition and am currently studying a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutrition), I am definitely not a health practitioner yet so nothing should be considered medical advice. But I am so glad you found the blog.🙂
