Optimal Metabolism Podcast

Miriam Jacobsen is a functional medicine dietitian with 15+ years of experience helping people improve their physical and mental well-being through food, mindset, lifestyle, and breathwork so they can feel more alive in their bodies. Miriam’s holistic healing approach challenges current medical narratives by examining physiological, biochemical, social, and emotional factors to resolve underlying symptoms of poor digestion, fatigue, and mood imbalances.
