S4 E20 Meg Gerber, Owner of JUJ and Functional Nutritionist
"Meg Gerber RD, LDN, IFNCP, CGN is a Functional Medicine Dietitian, Yoga & Meditation Teacher and Founder of Grounded Nourishment. She is also the co-founder of JÜJ Digestive Bitters. Meg specializes in supporting women struggling with chronic digestive issues via a holistic approach that goes beyond the food alone to acknowledge the “elephant” in everyone's room - STRESS. Stress can lead to a broken digestive system. While 'we are what we eat’ is a common refrain in the nutrition world, Meg expands this statement by instead standing by ‘‘We are what we DIGEST and ABSORB'. This foundational pillar of her practice and health philosophy lead her to prioritize tools that optimize digestion like mindful eating, mealtime breath work and bitters. It was only natural then, that she curate JÜJ digestive bitters; functional and flavorful drops to help you feel less bloated and enjoy drinking mindfully.
