WARNING: This episode is SPICY – but it ALL needs to be said, so I’m going for it.
I’m sharing more about my gut health and chronic illness journey, including how my 50% liver dysfunction was discovered, and how I learned to trust my body and FINALLY kiss the pills and supplements goodbye.
You’ll learn how I used the SMART goal-setting framework to begin turning my health around, the incredible results I saw, and what I’ve learned over the past 8+ years (hint: ALL of this informs how I serve my clients as a gut health practitioner + coach, and it’s why they achieve what many doctors say is IMPOSSIBLE).
If you’re looking for a sign that you CAN heal, enjoy the food, go on the trips, LIVE YOUR LIFE – this is it. You can. The secret: Rest, don’t quit. And reach out for help.
You don’t have to do another elimination diet. You don’t have to try another detox or supplement regimen. Hit the pause button, escape the extremes, and find what is SAFE and SUSTAINABLE for you.

We're kicking off cold and flu season with a MYTH-BUSTING episode about how to care for your family in a holistic, natural way that SUPPORTS long-term gut (and overall) health.
You'll find out why I don't necessarily recommend trying to control your child's fever with medication right away, the potential dangers and risks of taking antibiotics too frequently, and why I'm wary of multivitamins and other supplements often marketed to kids.
I'm also sharing four simple, affordable things you can do to support your children's immune systems all year long (and I do ALL of these things with my kids!).
Bonus: In this episode, I'm giving a behind-the-scenes peek into my kids' ringworm outbreak from earlier this year, how we handled it as a family, and what I learned from the experience.

Today, I’m sitting down with Amy Denson, a former professional basketball player who now specializes in offering personalized nutrition Coaching for whole body wellness, to discuss the all-or-nothing (or perfectionist) mindset and how it can impact our health and well-being.
During this raw, vulnerable, REAL conversation, Amy and I highlight why the so-called “normal” way of living in the U.S. may not be serving us (especially those with chronic illnesses or gut health issues) and share intentional, realistic steps you can take to move forward on your healing journey.
This episode is for you if you’re interested in learning what it means to rest and not quit, why it’s essential to advocate for and trust yourself, the importance of mindfulness and self-care, the many reasons it’s harmful to compare yourself to other people, and so much more.
Hint: If you identify as a Type A person or consider yourself a high-achiever, you should 100% give this a listen!

“Biohacking” (or DIY biology) is becoming increasingly popular in the health and wellness space – but is it REALLY beneficial? Is it SAFE? Does it yield positive results in the long run?
In this episode, you’ll learn more about biohacking – cold plunges, supplements, red light therapy, intermittent fasting, etc. – and what peer-reviewed research indicates about these methods. Plus, I’m explaining how different biohacking methods can impact you LONG-TERM, particularly if you have a chronic illness or are on a gut health journey.
If you’re considering dipping your toes into the world of biohacking, you DEFINITELY don’t want to miss this episode. You’ll likely be surprised by what you learn.
Don’t forget (and I say this with all the love in the world): Just because you see an influencer doing something does NOT mean you should do it, too!

MANY of us experience decision fatigue frequently (even daily) – ever wonder why that is or how to combat it? This episode is for you.
I’m discussing how the brain works, why we dissociate, and how to bring yourself back to the present moment and make more intentional decisions. I’m also sharing two exercises you can do to improve your mental health (which, in turn, will likely help improve your PHYSICAL health!).
Remember: What’s happening in your head MATTERS. Slow down, get present, prioritize rest and self-care, and I can almost guarantee you’ll see positive changes EVERYWHERE – mind, body and spirit.

Today, I’m sharing my “icks” in the wellness space and examples of what I’ve seen on social media that REALLY grinds my gears.
You’ll find out why I firmly believe in EMPOWERMENT vs. shame/manipulation and the approach I take in my gut health practice that helps my clients heal in a way that emphasizes self-advocacy, self-trust, and personal power.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, pushed around, or disempowered by a doctor or other healthcare practitioner, definitely listen to this episode. You’re not alone, and there IS a path forward – as long as you learn to trust yourself.
