Welcome to our anniversary episode! We are so excited that the Vet Mind Works Podcast has been going for a full year. This episode is also very special, because it touches on many topics that we have already covered, and it relates to some other subjects yet to explore! Host Petra Agthe and our guest nutritionist and intuitive eating counsellor Ela Law we are discussing all around the topic of food and nutrition, and how we can best support our brains and bodies best in our busy lives.
