Simplifying Gut Health for All — with Dan Corrigan

What happens when your gut health becomes so compromised that it changes the entire trajectory of your life?

In this episode of Buddha Belly Life, Brittney sits down with Dan Corrigan, co-founder of Smidge® and author of Eat Well, Supplement Well, Digest Well, to talk about the personal health crisis that first sent him searching for answers.

Dan shares his experience struggling with severe digestive and intestinal issues beginning in his college years, his long road through treatments and conflicting health advice, and how discovering the foundations of gut health, real food and targeted supplementation ultimately transformed his health—and his life's work.

Together, Brittney and Dan simplify a subject that can quickly become overwhelming. They discuss getting back to the basics of digestive health, why more isn't always better when it comes to supplements, supporting sensitive systems, probiotics and digestive support, and how families can approach gut health without turning wellness into an exhausting all-or-nothing pursuit.

Dan is trained across multiple natural-health disciplines and is a Certified Body Ecology Coach. His own healing journey eventually led him to co-found Smidge®, a small-batch supplement company focused on pure probiotics, minerals, real-food nutrients and digestive support without unnecessary additives.

In this episode:
• Dan's personal gut-health crisis and the search that changed his life
• Why gut health doesn't have to be complicated
• Real food as the foundation of digestive wellness
• Probiotics, enzymes and targeted supplementation
• Why sensitive guts may require a different approach
• Avoiding the “more is better” mentality in wellness
• Practical ways to support the microbiome for adults and families

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with biohacker, nutritionist, performance coach, and BioSyncing® creator Angela Foster to explore one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life: perimenopause.

Together, we dive into the hormonal, neurological, and emotional shifts that many women experience in their 40s and beyond—and why so many are told their symptoms are simply "part of aging." Angela shares cutting-edge insights on hormone health, metabolism, brain function, nervous system regulation, longevity, and the science of optimizing female health during midlife.

But this conversation goes far beyond biohacks.

We discuss the hidden mental health struggles many high-achieving women face, the connection between hormones and anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, and the importance of compassion alongside advanced wellness strategies. Angela also shares pieces of her personal journey from corporate lawyer to internationally recognized women's health educator, while we unpack what it truly means to work with your biology instead of fighting against it.

If you're navigating fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, weight changes, sleep disruption, hormonal shifts, or simply want to feel more empowered in your body, this episode is packed with practical insights and hope.

What happens when you’re doing everything “right”… and your body still isn’t responding?

In this Buddha Belly Life episode - When Healthy Hurts, Coach Britt sits down with holistic nutritionist, functional diagnostic practitioner, and strength coach Elizabeth Aylor to unpack the frustrating reality so many women face—when clean eating, consistent workouts, and discipline still leave you feeling bloated, exhausted, inflamed, or stuck.

Elizabeth shares her powerful personal journey through depression, disordered eating, and severe gut dysfunction—including H. pylori, candida, and multiple infections—and how that experience led her to develop a root-cause approach to healing metabolism, hormones, and the gut. 

Together, they dive into:

•  Why “healthy” habits can backfire when the nervous system and gut aren’t supported 
•  The hidden drivers behind metabolic resistance, weight loss plateaus, and chronic bloating 
•  How functional testing and bio-individual protocols change the game 
•  The connection between stress physiology, trauma, and physical symptoms 
•  What it actually looks like to rebuild your body from the inside out—without extremes 

Elizabeth brings both clinical expertise and lived experience, having worked with high-level athletes, public figures, and thousands of women navigating similar struggles.

In this deeply personal episode, Britt shares the truth about designing a dream life — and why it has far less to do with achievement and far more to do with alignment.

She explores what it means to step out of survival mode and into the life you were actually created to live.

Through vulnerability, lived experience, and grounded reflection, Britt walks listeners through the inner shifts that change everything — honoring your nervous system, listening to your body, creating supportive environments, and choosing a path that reflects your true values rather than external expectations.

The episode closes with a powerful story of the promise on her life — and the courage it takes to step into your own. In the end, it's so worth it.

🎙️ Podcast Description: The Skin Biome — Beauty Is Gut Deep

What if clearer, healthier skin isn’t about finding the right product — but understanding the ecosystem beneath the surface?

In this episode, we explore the skin biome and its powerful connection to the gut, immune system, and nervous system. You’ll learn why topical solutions alone often fall short, how internal imbalance shows up on the skin, and what truly supports long-term skin health and resilience.

Whether you’re a practitioner, esthetician, coach, or someone deeply invested in holistic wellness, this conversation reframes skin health as a whole-body process, not a cosmetic one.

We cover:

• What the skin biome actually is (and why it matters)
• How gut and nervous system health influence the skin
• Why non-toxic products are important — but not enough
• The future of integrative, education-based skin care

If this conversation resonates and you’re interested in going deeper professionally, you can learn more about our Skin Biome Specialist training here:

 Episode #58: The Roots of Self-Hate with Dr. Blaise Aguirre

In this enlightening episode, we delve into the complex origins of self-hatred with Dr. Blaise Aguirre, a renowned psychiatrist specializing in adolescent mental health and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Dr. Aguirre discusses how self-hatred often stems from early life experiences, such as invalidation and unrealistic expectations, and how these feelings can persist into adulthood.

Drawing from his extensive clinical experience and insights from his book, I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You, Dr. Aguirre emphasizes that self-hatred is a learned behavior, not an inherent trait. He introduces practical strategies to help individuals separate their identity from these destructive beliefs and begin the journey toward self-compassion and healing.

Whether you've personally struggled with self-loathing or are seeking to support someone who has, this episode offers valuable perspectives and tools to foster understanding and growth.
