As a passionate advocate for integrative medicine, Singh has an unparalleled view on how we should approach digestive issues, coupling both gut-healing remedies and friendly foods with meditation and breathwork. Here are three reasons mindfulness practices are just as important as nutrition and probiotics in terms of gut health, a true "soul meets science" mentality if we ever heard one.
