Have you been diagnosed with restless leg syndrome - but the iron pills or medications you've been given for it aren't giving you any relief?

Do you struggle with chronic fatigue, and you've been told it's from restless leg syndrome, but nothing you try makes you feel more rested?

If you’ve ever spent nights Googling “restless leg syndrome treatment” or “restless leg syndrome causes,” you know how frustrating RLS is.

When I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome in middle school, I felt the same confusion and frustration about my RLS.

I was told it was because I had low iron. I took the supplement, and it maybe helped a little...but I still felt exhausted throughout the day.

It wasn't until I became a functional health practitioner that I figured out what was causing my restless leg syndrome - and how to treat restless leg syndrome for myself in a way that actually WORKED.

Now - I've found COMPLETE restless leg syndrome relief (which my husband is so grateful for!). And today, I'm going to teach you how you can do the same.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the real root causes of Restless Leg Syndrome — the ones most doctors never mention.

You’ll learn how restless leg syndrome connects to your brain, iron levels, airway health, and even your gut health — and what steps you can take to finally find restless leg syndrome relief naturally.

Restless leg syndrome isn't random, and you're not stuck with it for forever.

It's time to teach you the root cause of restless leg syndrome so that your legs - and your sleep - can finally find some peace.

Are you struggling with chronic conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or IBS?

Or - do you have a history of kidney stones, osteopenia / osteoporosis, depression, or anxiety?

Have you tried to eliminate these conditions or symptoms and wondered why your body just won’t respond — no matter what you do?

You’ve changed your diet. You’ve tried probiotics, detoxes, counseling, or gut health protocols… but your energy’s still low, your mood’s still off, and you feel stuck inside your own body.

What if I told you your body might be trapped behind something called a calcium shell?

A calcium shell is one of the most powerful patterns I see on HTMA testing — and it can explain everything from chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, and anxiety, to constipation, bloating, IBS, kidney stones, and even osteoporosis or osteopenia.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but your body just isn’t budging — this episode is going to open your eyes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What a calcium shell is
• Common causes of calcium shells
• Why so many people with hidden copper toxicity or thyroid issues have it without knowing

I'll also cover what you need to do to reverse calcium shells — and why breaking through a calcium shell can completely change how your body responds to food, supplements, and stress.

So if you’ve ever felt “Something’s missing” in your healing journey — this might be it!

Let’s dive in.

This week, a client of mine in our program, the Better Belly Blueprint, asked me a this question:

"Do you have any recommendations on what could be done to improve oral health, as a way to improve general belly health?"

With his question, I realized - yes, I do! But I did not have it as a podcast episode.

Therefore, on today's episode, I'm sharing my TOP 4 oral health habits I recommend to boost gut health.
