Interview with Gemma O'Connell

Fiona Staunton • January 9, 2020

Watch my video interview with Gemma O'Connell, Naturopathic Nutritionist. 

In this series, at Fiona's food for life I interview people all over Ireland that work with food. I gain an insight into their work and get their 3 tips we can all implement to live a healthier life.

In this video, I am interviewing Gemma O'Connell, Naturopathic Nutritionist and Wellness Coach at Vivace. I found this chat with Gemma very insightful she spoke about detox and all the chemicals that our body comes into touch with on a daily basis.

You can check out Environmental Working Group to see what chemicals are in lots of products https://www.ewg.org/

The Dirty Dozen list is here https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/dirty-dozen.php

The Clean Fifteen list is here https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/clean-fifteen.php

Her top 3 tips are
1. Buy according to the Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen
2. Fasting min 12 hours daily
3. Eating a variety of food, in season
