In this powerful episode, I’m joined by gut and autoimmune nutritionist Sarah Khan, who shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as a teenager—and what she wishes more women knew about the connection between gut health, thyroid function, and autoimmune disease.

Sarah opens up about:

• Her early experience navigating symptoms like fatigue and brain fog
• What Hashimoto’s actually is and why it’s often underdiagnosed in women
• The role of leaky gut and dysbiosis in triggering and worsening autoimmune conditions
• How gut health influences hormone balance and immune regulation
• Why proper testing (and interpretation of results) is critical for diagnosis
• Practical steps to help prevent or reduce autoimmune symptoms by improving gut health

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s or are simply dealing with chronic bloating and fatigue, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to advocate for your own health.

Can tracking your blood sugar help you beat the bloat — without cutting carbs or going on a restrictive diet?

In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I wore a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for two weeks and tracked how my body responded to food, exercise, sleep, and stress. From unexpected blood sugar spikes to discovering that a controversial breakfast choice didn’t spike me at all, this experiment was full of surprises — and tons of insight.

I’ll walk you through:

• What a CGM is and how it works
• Why CGMs can be helpful for anyone, not just diabetics
• My biggest takeaways (like how I reduced a big blood sugar spike by tweaking my meal order + movement)
• Why you don’t need a CGM to balance your blood sugar or reduce bloating
• The simple habits I now swear by to feel more energized, less bloated, and more in control of my cravings

If you’re participating in my Bloat-Free Summer Challenge, this episode will help you connect the dots between blood sugar and bloat — and give you even more motivation to stick with the habits we're practicing this week!

Still bloated even though you’ve cut out gluten, dairy, and sugar? You’re not alone—and the answer isn’t more restriction. In this episode, we’re diving into the real reasons you might still be bloated, even if you’re eating all the “right” foods. Spoiler: it has way more to do with your daily habits than your food sensitivities.

We’ll unpack four often-overlooked habits that play a huge role in gut health:
 ✅ Meal timing
 ✅ How you eat
 ✅ Hydration
 ✅ Stress

You’ll learn how skipping meals, eating on-the-go, and even just being too busy can keep you stuck in the bloat cycle—no matter how healthy your plate looks.

In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, we dive into the fascinating connection between your gut health and mental well-being. If you've been struggling with bloating, brain fog, anxiety, or mood swings, this episode is for you!

Did you know that your gut plays a huge role in how you feel mentally? Over 90% of your serotonin (the "feel-good" chemical) is produced in your gut, and an imbalanced gut can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even depression.

I’ll break down the science behind the gut-brain axis and explain how issues like bloating and poor digestion can impact your mental health. Plus, I’ll share real-life stories from my own life and my clients—including how my boyfriend went from being on depression medication to being completely med-free by improving his gut health, and how one of my clients reduced her antidepressant dose by half after just 4 months of working together.

You’ll also walk away with actionable tips to start supporting your gut and mental health today. From food to lifestyle changes, small steps can make a big impact on how you feel—physically and mentally.

Tune in to learn how to improve your mood, reduce anxiety, and start feeling your best from the inside out!

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by hormone and weight loss expert Ciara Foy, who shares her personal gut health journey—from growing up in the low-fat, diet culture of the ‘90s to becoming a leading voice in holistic hormone health.

We dive into the deep (and often overlooked) connection between gut health and hormones, and how nutrition plays a key role in balancing both. Ciara reveals why blood sugar balance is the foundation of her practice, and how it’s the #1 strategy she uses to help women regulate hormones, reduce stress, improve sleep, and feel amazing in their bodies—especially during perimenopause and menopause.

She also breaks down:

• What it actually means to balance your blood sugar
• How to start doing it right now
• Why “eating too much” isn’t the problem (and what is)
• How to support your body in different seasons of life—without restriction

Whether you're dealing with bloating, burnout, or hormone chaos—this episode is packed with practical insights to help you feel more energized, calm, and confident.

If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, unheard, or still stuck in a cycle of bloating and food reactions—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by Naturopath and Nutritionist Alana Bonneman, host of the Health After 30 Podcast, to dive deep into why so many women feel like they have to be their own health advocate—and how to actually start getting to the root cause of your symptoms.

We talk about how bloating, food fear, and constant food reactions (like gluten or dairy sensitivity) are often symptoms of something deeper—not a life sentence. Alana shares how you can begin to heal without falling into restrictive protocols or labeling foods as "good" or "bad," and why that mindset could actually be making your symptoms worse.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your symptoms, frustrated with traditional practitioners, or just want to feel good in your body again—this conversation is for you.

Tune in to learn:

• What to do when you feel unheard by your doctor or practitioner
• Why bloating and food reactions are symptoms, not the root issue
• How to stop fearing food and start enjoying life again
• Why your relationship with food matters just as much as what you eat
