Get ready for a powerhouse conversation, Brave Table fam! 🌟 In this inspiring and deeply personal episode, I sit down with holistic wellness entrepreneur Mary Cristine to unpack how she turned unimaginable life challenges—losing her father, navigating single motherhood, and healing her son’s neurological disorder—into a mission to transform health from the inside out.

We dive into gut health, the hidden dangers in our food systems, how heavy metals and mold are quietly sabotaging your health, and the simple habits you can adopt now to build radical resilience. Plus, Mary shares her favorite supplements, gut-healing hacks, and how she redefined success through self-worth and authenticity.

If you're ready to break free from survival mode, boost your energy, and reclaim your vitality—this is your wake-up call!

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• How your environment might be silently sabotaging your health—and what clues you’re probably missing
• The hidden threats (hint: it’s not just diet) that could be triggering chronic symptoms
• Why your gut might actually be your first brain—and what that means for your mood, immunity, and energy
• The unsettling truth about our modern food system—and what you need to know to protect yourself
• The unexpected connection between physical symptoms and emotional/spiritual well-being
• How tiny, simple daily actions can stack up to create lasting vitality—and where to start today
