In this episode, I chat with Rachel Montero, a nurse practitioner and holistic gut health specialist, about the powerful connection between gut health, anxiety, and overall well-being. Rachel opens up about her own experience with gut issues and anxiety, and how it led her to move from conventional to functional medicine to better understand the mind-gut connection.

We dive into how restrictive diets can impact both the body and mind, what happens to digestion when we’re in fight-or-flight mode, and how hormonal changes can influence gut health—especially for women.

Rachel also shares some really practical tips for supporting your gut, like mindful eating, preparing foods for easier digestion, and activating the vagus nerve to calm your nervous system.

It’s a conversation packed with insights and gentle reminders for anyone who’s struggled with gut issues, health anxiety, or simply wants to feel more balanced and connected in their body.

In this episode, we address the challenging and often isolating experience of living with health anxiety. Amy provides strategies to help in effectively communicate your feelings and experiences to partners, family, and friends. Emphasising the importance of compassion and understanding, the episode explores why health anxiety is often misunderstood, how it manifests, and ways to foster supportive relationships. Practical advice includes reframing reassurance, describing health anxiety as an overactive alarm system, and focusing on creating a sense of safety rather than fixing the anxiety.

This first episode addresses the root of why we can suffer from health anxiety. Amy explains that symptoms and fears are normal and not indicative of mental weakness. She explains that health anxiety, previously called hypochondria, is a deeply ingrained pattern of fear and hyper-awareness intended to protect but often traps individuals in a cycle of anxiety. Key points include recognising that these anxious feelings are a result of an overactive nervous system, distinguishing between intuition and anxiety, and avoiding attempting to 'fix' the fear directly. The episode emphasises the importance of creating new neural pathways through new habits and behaviours, understanding the fight-or-flight response, and signalling safety to the nervous system. Overall, it reassures sufferers that they are not alone or crazy and offers guidance on moving beyond health anxiety.
