    100. 6 Reasons Why You Need to Prioritize Gut Health for Whole-Body Healing
    May 13 2025
    Hey Friend, Can I share something I wish someone had told me a long time ago? You can eat clean, take the supplements, track your hormones, and still feel stuck if your gut isn’t working the way God designed it to. I learned this the hard way. I was exhausted, moody, and constantly bloated… and nothing “worked.” Until I shifted my focus to the gut. That’s when things finally started to change. → My energy came back. → My cycles leveled out. → My brain fog lifted. So this week on the podcast, I’m sharing 6 reasons why gut health is the foundation for whole-body healing. If you’ve been feeling dismissed by doctors or discouraged by dead ends, I think this episode is going to give you some serious clarity—and a few simple steps to get started today.

    96. Why You Still Feel Exhausted (Even When You're Doing All the 'Right' Things)
    Apr 29 2025
    Hey Friend, I want to take you back to a season in my life that might sound a lot like yours... I had cut the coffee. Gave up dairy for over a decade. Changed my diet. Started working out again (even though I needed a nap afterward just to survive the day). I was doing all the “right” things. And I was still exhausted. Sound familiar? In today’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down why that happens—and what your body might actually be trying to tell you. You’ll learn: ☑️ The hidden kind of inflammation that’s draining your energy ☑️ Why “detox” doesn’t work if your drainage isn’t open ☑️ What your stress hormones are doing behind the scenes—even when your life feels “calm” Plus, I’ll walk you through the 3 root causes I address with every single client who’s dealing with chronic fatigue. If you’ve ever felt like your body is betraying you—or that something must be wrong because you’re doing all the “right” things—this episode is for you. Your body isn’t broken. It just needs the right support—in the right order. And I’ll show you how to get started.
