Health and Wellness

As you may or may not know, we have a podcast called Sunrise on the Inside. In this space, we talk about everything gut health, fitness and overall wellness. We created and launched this podcast to talk with experts and big time social media entrepreneurs about their tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, how to take care of our bodies and keep ourselves happy, healthy and well.

The Sunrise on the Inside Podcast shares inspiring interviews and stories from thoughtful leaders in business, health & wellness, entrepreneurship and sports - we talk about tools, habits and tactics they use that help them feel calm, revived and rebalanced when they face challenges in life. Hosted by Nico Estrella, a serial entrepreneur, former professional soccer player and Co-founder of Waku.

A few weeks ago, we had the chance to talk with Amanda Sauceda, a pizza-loving registered dietitian and gut health nutritionist located in Los Angeles, CA. She specializes in gut health, mindfulness and intuitive eating. She is the creator of The Mindful Gut, which uses science and strategy to tap into your intuition and consequently improve your gut health.
