The microbiome--what is it and why should we care? This episode will answer that for sure.  For starters, consider that genetically "we are about 150 times more bacteria than we are human. We actually have at least 150 times more genes in our bacteria than we do in our human cells! So when you think about genetics and epigenetics and all the things we keep hearing about, bacteria is a big deal."That's just the first truth bomb Jared drops and there are many, many more!Precision Probiotic on Vitality Nutrition Use code "lisa" for 20% off!!

He began his career at the very young age of 7 as he shadowed his parents in their health store. By the age of 15 Jared was managing the store. His passion for the family business, the natural products industry, and helping people, eventually led him to purchase the store at the age of 22. Jared has owned Vitality Nutrition in Bountiful, Utah for nearly 30 years now. Through one on one interaction with his clients, along with countless hours of research, he has developed highly effective protocols and supplement formulations for many of the most common health concerns, including digestive health, depression, anxiety, immune dysfunction, hormone balance, and even women's hair loss.Jared’s desire to educate people outside of his store led him to start Vitality Radio which has been on the local radio for 15 years, and is now the Vitality Radio Podcast. His show takes a close look at the flaws in the modern health care industry, government overreach in our health decisions, and discusses natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals and more. Jared is thrilled with the opportunity to speak about his passion whenever given the opportunity.Where to find Jared:Vitality Radio PodcastVitality Nutrition website Instagram: @vitalitynutritionbountifulFacebook groupMore from Well with Lisa:Schedule a free session: wellwithlisa.as.meYour Go-To Meal Guide: grab it HEREInstagram:  @well_with_lisaSubscribe: podcast.wellwithlisa.comWant to help determine what's on future podcasts?
