As I write my cookbook for women who want to improve their digestive health (is that you?) I’d love to hear this time: what are your struggles or concerns relating to food/eating and digestion? Please reply/DM. As I fill these blank pages, I’m keen to hear your biggest challenges

[Kym Lang @MsKymLang]

As a #guthealth nutritionist, I know it's tough to deal with digestive issues. Food feels like the enemy. I’m writing a book for women who want to find relief and enjoy food again. What do you want to know about food & digestive health, what do you need? My book is a blank page!

[Kym Lang @MsKymLang]

I plan to up my nutrition clinic hours while I write my cookbook and would appreciate a positive Google review to help more people find my services. If you have received dietary support from me (clients or corporate) will you please help? Link/QR code: https://t.co/ST9Ljwl8lk
