Her Healing Path

In today's episode, I'm sharing a little life update. Between baby milestones and some unexpected things happening in our home, life has been full lately. I share some of the moments that have made this phase of motherhood so special, along with a few adorable adventures with Noah as he starts experiencing more of the world. I also share a shocking situation we recently uncovered in our home that quickly turned into something much bigger than we anticipated. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at my life lately – from the sweet moments of motherhood to the unexpected chaos along the way.

In this fourth and final episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I'm answering listeners' questions. We discuss how stress, hormones, travel, sleep, and routine changes can impact your gut. We talk about why symptoms can flare even when you feel like you're doing "everything right" and what certain reactions can mean (like bloating, fiber intolerance, probiotics making things worse). I also share how gut health connects to skin and hormonal acne. If you've been following along with the series and suspect your gut is part of what's driving your symptoms, this episode will give you a lot of answers.

In this third episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I walk you through the framework I use with clients for actual gut repair and how all the pieces come together once you have your results. I explain the phases of gut repair I use in practice and why the order matters. We talk about why so many gut protocols fail and what it really takes to heal in a way that's sustainable. If you've tried "everything" (probiotics, elimination diets, generic gut protocols, etc) – this episode will help you understand what's usually missing and how to approach gut healing in a more effective, personalized way.

In this second episode of the Gut Reset Mini Series, I walk you through how I actually assess gut health and what can show up on a comprehensive gut test. Once you understand how connected your gut is to hormones, energy, skin, mood, and immunity, the next question is usually: how do I know what's happening in my body? We talk about why symptoms alone can be misleading and how the same symptom can stem from very different root causes. I also share why interpreting a gut test properly within your specific context (symptoms, health history, other labs, etc) is the only way to build a personalized and truly effective healing plan. If you've ever wondered whether gut testing makes sense for you, this episode will help you understand when it can be useful.

This episode kicks off the Gut Reset Mini Series — a 4-part deep dive into the foundations of gut health and how true gut repair works.

In this first episode, I'm walking you through how your gut influences nearly every system in your body and the most common root causes of gut imbalance I see clinically. Women often come to me with symptoms that feel "random" (things like acne, fatigue, PMS, anxiety, hormone imbalances, fertility struggles) and don't realize their gut is at the center of it all. Gut health has become one of the most talked-about topics in the wellness space, and also one of the most confusing. You'll hear people telling you to cut foods, add probiotics, do parasite cleanses, or follow generic gut protocols, but very rarely is anyone explaining why, who it's for, or how to personalize any of it. If you've ever felt like something is off in your gut, this episode will give you a framework for understanding what might be going on and where to start.

In this episode, I'm getting into fertility from a holistic perspective and breaking down why so many women feel stuck when standard labs come back "normal." I'm seeing this come up again and again in my practice: women who are doing all the right things, tracking their cycles, eating well, taking supplements, and still being told they have "unexplained infertility." The thing is, fertility is a reflection of your overall health as a woman. That's why so many aspects of your own health (e.g. stress, gut health, inflammation, etc) can block conception. When you understand what your body's asking for, your fertility health will naturally follow.

In this episode, I'm joined by Kylie Ivanir, a registered dietitian and the founder of Within Nutrition, to talk about what actually supports healing and what can get in the way. We discuss why so many women feel like they're doing everything right (eating well, taking supplements, exercising) yet they are *still* struggling with gut issues and hormone imbalances. Kylie shares her perspective on fasting, elimination diets, protein, biohacking, and supplements – and why it's so important to apply personalization when using any of these tools. This conversation is really about coming back to the basics and the importance of slowing down instead of constantly trying to "fix" yourself. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by wellness advice or confused by all the conflicting information out there, this episode's for you.

In this episode, I share the concept of seasonality through the lens of Ayurveda and how our bodies are designed to shift with the seasons. Modern society and productivity culture often clash with our actual biology, especially during winter. Honoring your body during this restorative season can make a meaningful difference in your energy, digestion, mood, and hormones. This episode is an invitation to meet your body where it is and work with your natural rhythms instead of against them.

In this episode, I talk about something top of mind about this time of year: detox culture. I explain why extreme cleanses and juice fasts almost always backfire and walk you through what natural detoxification actually looks like in the body. I break down the roles of your liver, gut, kidneys, and other detox pathways, and share which holistic habits will truly move the needle. My goal is to help you see detox as a process of coming back into balance rather than punishing yourself for moving more slowly during winter.

In this episode, I'm sharing a January update as I shift into a slower season after the intensity of the holidays. Rest is something I intentionally prioritize this time of year and January is the perfect time for a natural reset. I also walk you through how I approach my annual intentions ritual (which I shared in episode #71 a couple weeks ago). I talk about how I look back on the past year, identify what feels aligned to carry forward, what doesn't, and how I set actionable dream goals for the year ahead.
