Ep. 235 Q&A Part 2: What to Prioritize When Bloated & Sluggish, How to Come Off of Birth Control, Our Vision for Family & Business, & More!
If you’ve ever wondered how to truly support your body after coming off birth control or what to do first when you’re feeling bloated and sluggish, this episode is for you.
In part two of our Q&A series, we’re diving into your most-requested questions: going deep on women’s health, hormone balance, and big-picture life goals. I share my supplement thoughts post–birth control, why broad advice often backfires without proper bloodwork, and how our FLUSH protocol helps set a strong foundation for healing.
We also discuss what most women get wrong before coming to Vital Spark and whether a DUTCH test is worth it while still on hormonal contraception.
From there, we get personal: what I would tell my past self, how we’re thinking about family 20 years down the line, and even some of my non-profit aspirations for the future.
Finally, I break down the first steps to take when you’re bloated, fatigued, and don’t know where to start so you can stop spinning your wheels and start feeling like yourself again.
This one is packed with both strategy and soul. Whether you’re here for the hormone hacks, the mindset shifts, or just a little encouragement for your own journey, you’ll leave with clarity and practical next steps to move forward with confidence.
