Today on The Wellness Platform Podcast, I’m speaking with Liv Kennedy. Olivia Kennedy is a Naturopath, nutritionist, and herbalist who combines her love of Nutrition and Herbal Medicine to treat her clients holistically. Olivia is also the author of the book on healthy nutrition, My Nutrition Mentor. While at school, Liv decided to study Naturopathy, Nutrition and Herbal Medicine, which turned out to be the best and the most important decision of her life. She holds a Bachelor of Naturopathic and Herbal Medicine and a Diploma in Nutrition from Wellpark College of Natural Therapies in Auckland, NZ.
Her decision to chase nutrition and health birthed out of that instinctive desire -- to fix her own health condition of Leaky Gut Syndrome by eliminating unhealthy lifestyle choices and intelligently discovering gut-friendly foods. Liv speaks with me about her inspiring journey into naturopathy and nutrition, achieving her degree and diploma one year ahead of most others, and writing her first book on essential nutrition, My Nutrition Mentor. Liv also throws clarity on pursuing a career in nutrition and outlines the steps to take if you want to get into any of its pathways, including government health boards or holistic nutrition coaching.
We discuss:
- How your life's purpose can sometimes be solving a personal problem and sharing it with the world.
- Some lesser-known pathways to take when studying nutrition and alternative courses vs government standardised courses.
- The fine line between wanting to take up a career in nutrition and doing it as a hobby.
- Leaky gut 101- how to know if you have it and how to fix it.
