In this honest and layered conversation, I sit down with Ashlee Ihemelu—Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, HTMA specialist, blood chemistry analyst, and cohost of one of my favorite podcasts, The Wellness Reality Check—to talk about what healing really requires beneath the surface.

Ashlee brings a unique blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and grounded intuition, and I’ve been a huge fan of the way she cuts through the noise in the wellness space with nuance, warmth, and clarity.

Together, we explore:

• The subtle ways clients unconsciously keep themselves stuck (even while doing “everything right”)

• How to navigate wellness trends with discernment, not fear

• The unspoken realities of being a practitioner and a person in the process

• How living in Costa Rica has reshaped Ashlee’s approach to both mental and physical health

• Why ancestral rhythms and foundational practices still matter most

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to “get it all right,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen deeper, and trust the quiet work happening beneath the surface. Healing isn’t a checklist!
