Ep. 61 Fasting vs. Nutrition: What Your Body Really Needs for Optimal Health

In this episode, I’m cutting through the noise about fasting and all the “new year, new you” hype. Let’s get real—mental clarity and energy don’t come from starving yourself; they come from giving your body what it truly needs. I’m breaking down the myths about fasting and detoxing, especially the ones that can mess with your metabolism, mental health, and healing journey. We’ll talk about how blood sugar, cortisol, and hunger cues are all connected—and why listening to your body is way smarter than following trendy restrictions. This is your permission to prioritize rest, nutrient-packed foods, and a positive relationship with what’s on your plate. It’s time to ditch the fads and heal from the inside out—sustainably, powerfully, and on your own terms.Ready to join a community of wellness warriors just like YOU?

Ep. 60 How I Lost 14lbs and STILL Found My REAL Health Wins: My 2024 Journey

Ready to spill some tea? In this episode of Geta's Digest, I'm serving up the real story behind my 2024 glow-up—because healing is so much more than dropping a few pounds. Sure, I shed 14 lbs this year, but the journey wasn’t just about the scale. I’m talking mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual vibes on a whole new level.
I’m pulling back the curtain on how food healed more than my gut, why starting small is always the move, and how stress (ugh) and communication can make or break relationships. Spoiler alert: my marriage got stronger thanks to therapy and Bible studies. 
We’ll chat about my past struggles, why spiritual growth is the ultimate flex, and how simplifying my routines gave me life. I’m also diving into the non-linear nature of healing (hello, setbacks), the beauty standards we all deal with, and the tricky relationship between makeup and self-love.
Oh, and let’s not forget the big takeaway: you don’t have to do this alone. Whether it’s leaning into community or asking for support, healing is a team effort. Ready to align your values with your vibe? Hit play, and let’s grow together!

How I balanced food, faith, and fitness to help with chronic inflammation
The truth about juggling family, health, and personal goals without losing your sanity

Ep. 59 Unlocking the Gut-Trauma Connection: How Your Nervous System Impacts Chronic Illness

Hey there, warrior. In this deeply personal episode of Getas Digest, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Erin to unpack the tangled web connecting gut health, chronic illness, and trauma. Imagine your body as a house—each room holding pieces of your story, even the ones you’ve tried to lock away. We’re here to explore how those hidden rooms can impact your health and how to gently open the doors toward healing.
We dive into the ripples of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), not just in your mind but in every fiber of your being. From the triggers that parenting can unveil to the fight, flight, and freeze responses, this episode is about uncovering the messages your body sends and learning to read them with compassion.
You’ll hear us reframe chronic illness not as a punishment but as a sacred signal—a protective mechanism urging you to slow down, lean in, and truly listen. I share my own journey and how somatic work, and emotional release have been lifelines, while Dr. Erin shines a light on the transformative power of community and the magic of self-discovery in healing.
The healing journey is less about having all the answers and more about trusting the wisdom your body already holds. So, grab your tea, settle in, and let’s rewrite the narrative together.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
The powerful mind-body connection in chronic illness.
How CPTSD shapes mental and physical health.
Parenting triggers as unexpected mirrors in the healing process.
Why chronic illness can be seen as a sacred illness.
Practical steps to start your healing journey through somatic work and emotional release.
The role of community and connection in navigating trauma.

Ep. 58 Unpacking Emotional Luggage: How Past Experiences Impact Your Health Journey and Nutrition Success

In this episode, I’m unpacking some of the deepest emotional and mental barriers I see people face with chronic illness, starting with the “emotional luggage” we carry that can make healing feel impossible. I share real examples of how people’s past experiences—like a lack of trust in their body or feeling dismissed by health professionals—can impact their journey and lead to burnout.We’ll get into why I believe nutrition isn’t just about eating “healthy” but is a targeted healing tool that, combined with a strong mindset, can bring real change. I explain how tailored, individualized care can break through the “one-size-fits-all” health advice out there and create a sense of safety and empowerment in your health journey. You’ll hear about clients who found relief through specific nutrition and mindset shifts and how we handled big life changes, like a new diagnosis or major lifestyle shift, by developing sustainable habits that last.This episode is a call to action to embrace the commitment to feel amazing in your own skin and take that first step toward lasting change.If this episode spoke to you, I invite you to our free no pressure, no strings attached 30-min Kickoff Call to see if my 6-month program is right for you.

Ep. 57 US Senate Nutrition Shocker: Unveiling Toxic Food Systems & Supplement Scams

In this episode, I’m diving into something I’m super passionate about—the *truth* behind the US food industry’s toxicity and the eye-opening details from a recent Senate hearing on nutrition. Let’s get real: the constant push for supplements and consumer-driven health solutions is NOT the answer. I’ll be breaking down why self-advocacy and understanding where your food comes from is more important than ever. We’ll chat about the beauty of seasonal eating, why supporting your local farmers is a game-changer, and the shocking lack of regulation in the supplement industry.This episode is all about empowering YOU to rethink your relationship with food and health.
