This is my experience when I was learning in the UK.
Additionally I am sure this happens in the US. Especially companies like Full Script, which have now moved to testing.
Major businesses are sniffing out vulnerable people, as most nutritionists have poor health to begin with, blue light fried and take all the supplements and testing under the sun
5. Most of it barely scratches the surface. Researchers like Jeff Leach, who studied the gut microbiome of the Hadza hunter gatherers in Tanzania, challenge much of what we think a "healthy" microbiome looks like.
