What if the brain fog, sugar cravings, and stubborn fatigue you’re feeling… starts in your gut?
In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe—Stanford PhD scientist and co-founder of Pendulum Therapeutics—to unpack the real reasons so many of us struggle with metabolic health, mood imbalances, and digestion. We explore how your gut microbiome shapes your energy, hormones, and weight every single day—even if the root cause began years ago.
We break down the rise of leaky gut, the missing bacteria like Akkermansia that most probiotics ignore, and science-backed steps to start healing from within.
If you’ve tried everything and still feel off, this conversation offers clarity—and real hope.
Dr. Colleen Cutcliffe is a microbiome expert, Stanford PhD, and CEO of Pendulum Therapeutics.

What if the anxiety you feel, the mood swings you hide, or the “off” feeling you can’t shake… aren’t just yours to carry but part of a story that started long before you?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Karena Dawn to talk about healing from trauma, rewriting the stories we inherited, and finding peace in the chaos. We explore how movement becomes medicine, how therapy and EMDR help process pain held in the body, and why community and vulnerability are essential to lasting transformation.
Karena opens up about her mother’s mental illness, generational trauma, and the moment she chose to live differently—and how that one choice led her to a life of purpose, service, and self-love.
If you’ve been holding it all in, this episode reminds you: your story matters, your healing is possible, and you're never too far gone to begin again.
​​Karena Dawn is a wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of The Big Silence, a nonprofit dedicated to ending the stigma around mental health.

When your wellness routine starts to feel like another item on your to-do list, when fasting, cold plunges, and supplement stacks feel more depleting than nourishing…it might be time to reassess what “healing” really means.
In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Krasno, founder of Commune and author of Good Stress, to reframe how we think about stress, balance, and true vitality. We explore how chronic stress impacts your biology, why “healthy” habits sometimes backfire, and how practices like breathwork, stillness, and even discomfort can reconnect you to your body and build lasting resilience.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing it all and still feeling off, this conversation is a grounding reminder that healing isn’t about intensity, it’s about alignment.

Jeff Krasno is the co-founder and CEO of Commune, a wellness platform, he is also the author of Good Stress: The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things, in which he shares protocols he used to reverse his diabetes and improve his health at age 50.

You’re eating clean, doing the cold plunges, taking the adaptogens… but still waking up exhausted, wired, inflamed, or just off?
It’s time to talk about the one healing practice that costs nothing—but changes everything: sleep.
In this solo episode of Rooted in Wellness, I’m guiding you back to your body’s most powerful reset tool. We’ll explore why deep, consistent sleep is foundational for hormone balance, detox, metabolism, emotional regulation, and even gut repair. You’ll learn the hidden ways modern life disrupts your circadian rhythm—and the rituals, tools, and energetics I personally use and teach to bring your nervous system back into alignment.
If you’ve been overriding your need for rest in the name of productivity or “doing more,” this is your permission slip to pause, restore, and reconnect.
Because your body knows how to heal—when you finally let it rest.

“Everything looks normal”… but you still feel exhausted, anxious, inflamed, and out of sync with your body. Sound familiar? The truth is, most women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s aren’t getting real answers when they start experiencing the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause. Instead, they’re told their symptoms are “just stress” or handed a prescription that masks the issue—without addressing the root cause.

In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I’m joined by women’s hormone expert Dr. Mariza Snyder for a science-backed conversation about what’s really going on beneath the surface. We break down the connection between hormone decline, nervous system dysregulation, brain health, metabolic shifts, and chronic inflammation—plus why so many of the conventional protocols (like extreme fasting, overtraining, or testosterone pellets) can make things worse, not better.

Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and bestselling author of The Essential Oils Hormone Solution and The Menopause Relief Protocol. She’s the host of the Energized with Dr. Mariza podcast.
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel like your body is stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you!

What if that “mystery rash,” those fine lines, or the sudden hair shedding weren’t just cosmetic concerns… but biological clues your body is trying to send you?
In this episode, we unpack the science your dermatologist wishes you knew. From hyperpigmentation and hormonal acne to the myths behind “clean beauty” and the truth about castor oil, we explore how your skin often reveals what’s happening beneath the surface, whether it’s inflammation, stress, or hormonal shifts.
Joining me is the incredible Dr. Andrea Suarez, better known as Dr. Dray—a board-certified dermatologist and YouTube educator who has built one of the most trusted platforms for evidence-based skincare. In this conversation, she shares what most people (and brands) get wrong about skincare routines, how to age with grace (and science), and why keeping things simple is often the most effective strategy.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start understanding your skin, this one’s for you.

What if your symptoms aren’t random… but patterned responses your body learned to keep you safe?
In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Alok, someone whose work has deeply impacted my own journey, to explore how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious beliefs shape our health in ways we’re not taught to see.
We talk about the body’s hidden language, the science of reprogramming old emotional loops, and why healing isn’t about doing more, it’s about feeling safe enough to be.

This conversation cracked something open in me, and I know it will in you too. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too sensitive,” stuck in survival mode, or disconnected from your own power… this one’s for you.

Have you ever felt like your body is sending you signals, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, dizziness, insomnia, but no one’s connecting the dots?

In this episode, I sat down with functional dietitian Michele Shapiro to explore the deeply misunderstood conditions of MCAS, POTS, histamine intolerance, and nervous system dysregulation. Together, we unpack why these syndromes are on the rise, how trauma and stress responses are often at the root, and what your symptoms are really trying to tell you.

Michelle shares her own healing journey, insights on hypermobility and postural instability, and the difference between temporary relief and true regulation. You’ll learn how to stop chasing protocols and start listening to your body in a radically new way.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling chronically unwell, dismissed by conventional care, or seeking a more compassionate and integrative path to healing.

Michelle Shapiro is a functional dietitian specializing in nervous system dysregulation, MCAS, POTS, and histamine intolerance. She’s the founder of the Highly Sensitive Body Hub and host of the Quiet the Diet podcast.

Why does it feel like no matter how many wellness trends we follow—clean eating, intense workouts, meditation… we’re still exhausted, moody, or stuck in a cycle of burnout?

In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Alisa Vitti, a hormone expert, best-selling author, and pioneer in the field of cycle syncing, to uncover what most women are missing when it comes to energy, metabolism, and overall health.

We break down the real reason so many women struggle with PMS, cravings, fatigue, and anxiety, and why the problem isn’t your willpower, but rather how you’re working against your body’s natural rhythms. Alisa explains how our infradian rhythm (our monthly cycle) influences brain function, metabolism, and stress response—and how small shifts in our diet, workouts, and daily habits can transform our energy, productivity, and long-term health.

Alisa Vitti is a functional nutritionist, women’s hormone expert, and founder of Flo Living, a digital platform dedicated to hormonal health. She is the creator of the Cycle Syncing Method® and the author of In the Flo and WomanCode.
