If you’ve been dealing with chronic bloating, stubborn gut symptoms, unexplained fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, histamine flares, or flare-ups that seem to get worse around the full moon… this episode is going to connect a LOT of dots.
In today’s conversation, April and Dani dive deep into a topic that’s often misunderstood (and honestly, a little taboo): parasites — and whether a parasite cleanse is actually right for you.
We break down:
• Why parasites are far more common than people realize
• Symptoms most women overlook (especially the full-moon flares!)
• How parasites disrupt digestion, hormones, and histamine
• Why killing parasites without opening drainage can make you feel worse
• Who shouldn’t jump into a cleanse
• The safe, phased approach we use with clients
• Why nervous system and blood sugar support matter more than you think
• Whether stool testing is necessary (and why it often misses parasites)
You’ll walk away understanding not just what parasites do, but how to know if they’re part of your root cause picture— and what steps to take before even considering a cleanse.
If you're tired of feeling inflamed, puffy, bloated, wired-and-tired, or stuck in a cycle of gut issues that never fully resolve, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
Your body isn’t working against you — it’s giving you clues. And we’re here to help you interpret them.
