Glow with Lola

I thought I was eating clean. Turns out my gut had been screaming at me for years — bloating after every meal, brain fog, sugar cravings I couldn’t shake. So I did a stool analysis, found out what was really going on, and started a candida cleanse that was supposed to take 8 weeks… it took 23.

This episode is the real, unfiltered story of what happened when I finally listened to my body.

What you’ll learn: • What candida overgrowth actually is (and the sneaky symptoms most people miss — bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings, brain fog, skin flare-ups, mood swings) • Why I did a GI 360 stool analysis and what a 16-page gut report actually reveals • The “killing phase” vs. “healing phase” — why gut healing takes way longer than you think • Candida die-off symptoms: the skin rashes, fatigue, and emotional rollercoaster nobody warns you about • How I lost 22 lbs without counting calories (and why eating more, not less, was the key) • The sober glow-up: why I stopped drinking and felt more present than ever • My real, honest wins — clearer skin, no more bloating, mental clarity, and unexpected emotional healing • Practical tips you can start today: sugar awareness, fiber, protein targets, sleep timing, and natural vs. processed sugar

A few honest truths from this episode: This is not medical advice, and I’m not a practitioner. Everybody’s gut is different — please don’t copy my exact supplement protocol. Testing and working with a real practitioner matters. What I’m sharing is my personal experience so you feel less alone if you’re dealing with the same symptoms.

If you’ve ever felt bloated after every meal, exhausted for no reason, stuck in a sugar spiral, or like your skin just won’t cooperate no matter what you buy — this episode might explain why.

Wellness Catch-Up at 27: Biohacking, Sleep, Red Light Therapy & Building a Healthier Home

Lola returns to the Glow with Lola podcast for a wellness catch-up after turning 27, sharing a deeper approach to feeling good inside and out through biohacking and habit changes. She explains how past trauma, grief, and fear of illness after losing her parents—especially her mom to cancer—shaped her dedication to prevention, including getting life and critical illness insurance. Lola discusses using a Whoop watch to personalize sleep and recovery data, improving sleep routines with blackout curtains and red circadian lighting, and balancing intense training with proper recovery and awareness of menstrual cycle phases. She details new investments like red light therapy and an infrared sauna blanket, plus ongoing hormone and gut-health work (PCOS/endometriosis, bloodwork, ultrasound, naturopath care, and a stool analysis). She emphasizes cleaning up household products, switching to unscented laundry and cleaner soaps, prioritizing cotton fabrics, and pursuing balance rather than restriction in food and lifestyle.
